句子:
What was it you strated to tell me in the restaurant that you didn‘t understand about me?
首先就我个人而言,it was what that….是强调句型我知道,信息焦点是what,作后面那个定语从句的宾语。特殊疑问句型就是What was it that……。
那我就想问两个问题:
强调句中的信息焦点还可以被其他成分修饰吗?例如一个限制性定语从句或者介词短语?那我可以把(that)started to tell me in the restaurant看作是修饰这个关系代词。(是融合性关系代词吗?因为我还接触到一个叫双重定语从句的概念,即先行词+限制定从再被另一个限制性定语从句所修饰)
第二个问题就是这个句子真正的引导定语从句的关系代词到底是哪个?是you didn’t understand前面那个that吗!这个that和强调句型的that可以是同一个?
还是我想的太复杂了?
单纯就是What was it you started to tell me in the restaurant 是强调句型的特殊疑问句,然后强调句that被省略。后面那个that you didn‘t understand about me就是修饰先行词加定语从句的最后一个限制性定语从句?
我的看法是:
1. what不可能是融合性关系代词,因为融合性关系代词不具有疑问意义,所以不可能置于疑问句句首。
2. 本句中不存在双重定语从句。如果you started to tell me in the restaurant和that you didn’t understand about me都是关系分句,那么这个句子就没有了主句。因为(what)was it只是分裂句的句式框架。
3. 本句不包含任何关系分句。you started to tell me in the restaurant是主句;that you didn’t understand (about me) 是tell(me)的宾语从句,句首的that是连接词,本来可以省略,但此句中与动词tell相隔较远,不宜省略;被前置于全句句首的what是宾语从句动词understand的宾语。
4. 原句的句法结构演变 :为了简化结构,以下分析可不纳入in the restaurant(以及about me)
4.1原句还原成深层结构为:
You started to tell me (that-宾语从句引导词) you didn’t understand what(about me)..
4.2呈现的表层结构(非强调句)为:
What did you start to tell me (that-宾语从句引导词,可省略) you didn’t understand (about me)?
4.3 强调what后呈现的分裂句:
What was it (that-分裂句结构词,可省略) you started to tell me that(宾语从句引导词,此处不宜省略)you didn’t understand (about me)?
你在评论区认为原句的大概意思是:在饭店的时候你告诉我你不了解我的什么?这表明你的理解与我的上述分析一致,但不知为什么一分析句子结构,你的思路就走样了。
以上供参考。
