SOME years since, a German prince, making a tour of Europe, stopped at Venice for a short period. It was the close of summer; (1)the Adriatic was calm, (2)the nights were lovely, (3)and the Venetian women in the full enjoyment of those delicious spirits, that, in their climate, rise and fall with the coming and the departure of the finest season of the year. Every day was given by the illustrious stranger to research among the records and antiquities of this singular city, and every night to amusement on the river Brenta. When the morning was nigh, it was the custom to return to sup at some of the palaces of the nobility.
曹老师好!
1. “the Venetian women in the full enjoyment of… …”没有系动词were,是状语还是句子?为什么?如果分析为句子,句(1)were当然保留;但是句(2)中的were 和句(3)中的were应同时省略啊?可是只有(3)的were省略了。所有请老师分析判断。
2. 文中delicious spirits 意思是“可口的烈酒”还是“愉悦的心情”?为什么?
3. every night to amusement是由“every night (was given by the illustrious stranger) to amusement”省略而来的,是吗?
谢谢老师。
