全句:
The first man we can name who climbed a mountain for no reason other than that it was there was Frenchman Jean Buridan in the early fourteenth century.
请问:
1. man后面是否接了两个定语从句呢,之间不需要加连词连接吗?
2. other than在此是介词还是连词呢?
3. that it was there是名词从句吗,还是定语从句?(文章开头提到过 The famous words of the British climber George Mallory were, "Because it is there.")
感谢指导!
1 The first man we can name who climbed a mountain... 这是双重定语从句,二个定语从句不在同一个层次上,不是并列关系,所以不用并列连词,we can name的先行词为first man, who...定语从句的先行词为first man we can name。
2 other than一般按照介词分析,但实际上than比较分句的简略,简略到只剩下一个名词,所以就按照介词分析了。这就是为什么介词通常不能后接that从句,than却可以后接that从句的原因。
3 that从句为名词性从句,与reason是同位关系,表示原因。除了that从句表示的这个原因外没有其他原因。
