10 句子分析

If I ask them some questions regarding the book. I find that they will only repeat something that somebody else has said about what they think that they have been reading. 我若就此书向他们提一些问题的话,我发觉他们仅会重复一些他人阅读后的感受。(第二个定语从句that they have been reading 所修饰的是 something that somebody else has said about what they think,不单单是something)

这段话来自《薄冰高级英语语法》590页,不是特别懂,能不能说下语法关系。句子最后面的两个“they”指的是“ask them中的“them”,还是“somebody else”。“that they have been reading”是修饰“something”吗?“about what they think" 啥作用?还请专家老师帮忙解答下!

这个句子存在多处歧义,譬如they的所指和语法结构,导致语义不甚明了。

没办法,找原文,试图通过语篇来确定语义,确定语义后,语法的问题有望迎刃而解,即遇到疑难问题时,先语篇,再语义,后语法。

根据上下文,有以下三点看法:

1. 薄冰教授的语法结构分析和译文存在问题;

2. 所有的they都与them所指相同,即指students

3. 最后的那个that可有可无,即根据that-语迹理论,嵌套句的疑问词/关系词如果不是充当主语,that可以保留。

重点在于they think (that) they have been reading,即学生认为自己读了书,但并不算真正地读书。根据上下文提到了... think that they read推测,这里是相似的语义。

If I ask them some questions regarding the book. I find that they will only repeat something (定从 that somebody else has said about < 介词宾语 what融合型关系代词 they think that they have been reading> ).

野人献曝,聊供参考。

I find 是主句,其后的that 引导宾语从句。宾语从句的主语为they, something....到句尾是repeat 的宾语。这个宾语中又包含了定语从句。

Something that 后面是定语从句,关系代词that said 的宾语,somebody else 是定语从句的主语。About 引导的介词短语可以看作something 的定语。介词about 的宾语为名词性从句。What they think that they have been reading what =the thing that,做reading 的宾语。They think 为嵌入分句,夹在其宾语从句和被前置的宾语之间。
