whatever 引导宾语从句的疑问

Their antagonismtheir disappointmentstheir mutual boredom kill whatever is left of the initial excitement.

有个问题:whatever is left是从句么,是的话该怎么理解,不应该leftwhatever的后置定语才说的通吗?还有如果前边是宾语从句,那of the initial excitement 该怎么理解,还是说of前本来就可以加宾语从句(没有见到过)

Their antagonism, their disappointments, their mutual boredom kill whatever is left of the initial excitement.

1. 按现代语法分析,whatever is left of the initial excitement  叫做“名词性关系分句”,作 kill 的宾语。即黑体部分是宾语从句。

2. whatever 是融合性关系代词,身兼两职,既是先行词,又是关系代词,whatever = anything that

3. is left 被动语态(被剩下,留下)

4. of the initial excitement whatever的定语,被谓语动词is left分隔。
