The punishment of hungry,and that he is...(《老人与海》)

《老人与海》中有这么一段话:

He is much fish still and I saw that the hook was in the corner of his mouth and he has kept his mouth tight shut.The punishment of the hook is nothing. The punishment of hungry, and that he is against something that he does not understand, is everything.

这里最后一句话中的and that部分,是一个主语从句吗?如果是,为什么用逗号隔开呢?还有这里主句的谓语动词为什么用的是单数is呢?还请各位老师解惑。谢谢。

The punishment of hunger, and that he is against something that he does not understand, is everything. 

【翻译】饥饿的折磨,还要应付他不了解的东西,这才是一切中的一切。

1. and 前的逗号,仅表示停顿。不用也可。

2. that he is against something that he does not understand是个主语从句,跟前面的词组The punishment of hunger 并列。

3. that he does not understand 是定语从句,修饰something。

4. 谓语部分用单数 is,没有are,这在语法上允许。这是把主语当作一个整体看待的缘故。

hungry为网友输入错误,原文是名词hunger。

The punishment of hunger, and that he is against something that he does not understand, is everything.

二个逗号的作用相当于括号,that从句为说话人对主语所做的解释,带有插入语的性质。所以句子的谓语用单数is,而不是复数的are。根据平行原则,一个名词词组是不能与that从句并列作谓语的。

饥饿的折磨(以及由此导致的它与它无法理解的东西对抗)才是最主要的。

The punishment of hunger, and that he is against something that he does not understand, is everything.

the punishement of hunger 为句子主语,所以谓语用单数is
