3 3条难句分析

下面三句都出自章振邦英语语法教程第6版P475

1.Today is like unto yesterday, and to that which shall be the morrow.

unto和to都是介词，为什么能放在like后面？

2....; had I lived to no purpose, that I could discover ;...

前面是省略了if的状语分句，后面的that是什么？能分析为：that是代词，作discover的宾语，宾语前置吗？

3.How many a time, after long labour on some piece of writing, brought at length to its conclusion, have I laid down the pen with a sigh of thankfulness;...

brought at length to its conclusion这个插入成分不理解，首先brought的逻辑主语是什么？我找不到。

1. like unto=similar to,是比较老的用法，用于书面语。现代英语一般仅以like 即可。similar to 会比like更正式些。注意本句中后面的that which 相当于what, 也是比较正式的用法。

2. 章振邦语法书有误，我查阅小说原文为I had lived to no purpose这里的that,指I had lived to no purpose.作者写作时，可能是为了强调，把宾语从句提前。

3. brought at length to its conclusion= which was brought （by me) at length to its conclusion, 插入部分可以理解为补充说明some piece of writing的定语。
