三个并列的宾语从句是否可以省略引导词that

在下面的句子中,told 后面跟了三个宾语从句,对不对?

I asked her why and she told me that they were so quiet, that she was the only person talking in class and it felt like the children were punishing her by making her talk to the walls!

第一个宾语从句是:that they were so quiet

第二个宾语从句是:that she was the only person talking in class

第三个宾语从句是:it felt like the children were punishing her by making her talk to the walls

请问:为什么第三个宾语从句没有用连词 that 来引导呢?不是说并列的宾语从句不能省略引导的连词 that 吗?

谢谢老师解答!

张老师的分析是有道理的。下面我顺着网友 flyingfish 的思路作一分析:

按照这位网友的理解,句中的 that they were so quiet, that she was the only person talking in class, it felt like the children were punishing her by making her talk to the walls 为三个并列的宾语从句(即用作动词 told 的宾语),即她告诉了我三个内容:一是说他们(应该是指学生)很安静;二是说课堂上只有她一个人在说话,三是说给人的感觉像是他们在罚她对着墙壁说话。

网友的理解有一定道理,第三个宾语从句前应该有 that 来引导,因为根据传统语法的习惯,当两个或多个由 that 引导的宾语从句并列使用时,即使省略第一个 that,通常也不宜省略后面引导宾语从句的 that。所以建议原句改为:

I asked her why and she told me that they were so quiet, that she was the only person talking in class and that it felt like the children were punishing her by making her talk to the walls!

但这只是一般情况,只是“通常”如此而已,尽管传统语法认为当两个或多个由that 引导的宾语从句并列使用时,即使省略第一个 that,通常也不宜省略后面引导宾语从句的 that,但事实上省略的例子也是有的。比如下面的对话摘自《牛津英语用法指南》:

BILL (on Saturday evening):I don’t like this party. I want to go home now. 比尔(星期六晚上):我不喜欢这次聚会。我现在就要回家。

PETER (on Sunday morning):Bill said that he didn’t like the party, and he wanted to go home right away. 彼得(星期天上午):比尔说他不喜欢那次聚会,他马上要回家。

很显然,BILL说了两句话 I don’t like this party 和 I want to go home now,但变为间接引语后,用 and 连接的两个宾语从句,只在第一个宾语从句前用了引导词 that,第二宾语从句前的引导词 that 则被省略。

1. 经我的搜索,这篇文章不带逗号的版本基本出自被传上网了的近五年的试卷,而我能考证到的文章最早出处是北师大高中英语教材的必修四第85页,标题为“Living with Differences”。在原文里,that之前的确是有一个逗号的。鉴于那本书在2009年出版的第三版里就已经收录此文(可能更早的版本里就有,但我无法考证了),因此有理由认为逗号是在其他人根据此文制作试卷的时候去掉的(也许也是考虑到这句话结构很奇怪吧)——并非引文多了个逗号,而是网上很多版本里少了个逗号。当然也不排除北师大的编辑误加了逗号而被之后试卷制作者修正的可能。

2. 个人认为前面没有that的“it feltlike …”那个分句未必需要分析成told的另一个宾语从句,其实分析成与“she was the only person talking in class”并列的句子更合适。so… that结构的特征之一就是从句如果是多个并列的话,that只能在开始出现一次。

参考译文】她告诉我她的学生们令她大为沮丧。问其原因,她说(课堂上)同学们太过沉默,以至于整堂课成了她的“一言堂”,并且这让她觉得好像同学们在以这种方式惩罚她一般。

请问张老师,that they were so quiet 和 that she was the only person talking in class 这两个宾语从句为什么不用 and 连接呢?我们老师说,多个并列的宾语从句要用逗号隔开,最后一个才用 and,是这样吗?如果是,那么flyingfish网友的这个句子这就是三个并列的宾语从句,对吗?

这个句子有点意思!我也有一个问题要请教一下老师:如果把 it felt like the children were punishing her by making her talk to the walls 看作是前面句子的并列成分,那就说明 told 后面只带了两个宾语从句,即 that they were so quiet 和 that she was the only person talking in class,那这两个宾语从句就应该有连词 that 来连接吧,对不对?请老师释疑,谢谢!
