She is a lady than whom I can imagine no one more courteous.
辛苦老师分析一下句子结构,谢谢。
She is a lady than whom I can imagine no one more courteous.
than whom是一个约定成俗的说法,而且相当正式,用以引导定语从句。从句形式上用的是比较级,但因这类定语从句通常是否定的,所以句中的“否定词+比较级”实际上隐含的是最高级含义。即句中的 than whom I can imagine no one more courteous 是定语从句,修饰 a lady。句中的关系代词 whom 指代先行词 a lady,所以定语从句的字面意思可理解为:
I can imagine no one more courteous than her. 我想象不出有谁比她更有礼貌(即她最有礼貌)。
She is a lady than whom I can imagine no one more courteous. 的意思就是:她比我能想象出的任何人都更有礼貌。
顺便说一句,这类定语从句中的 than whom 不能将 than 放在句末,即通常不说:
* She is a lady whom I can imagine no one more courteous than.
