每日一句

Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.(2013, Reading Comprehension, Part A Text 1)

词汇

descend: v. 堕落；下降，下去
over the years: 这些年来，多年以来
the bargain bin: 打折区
bargain: n. 特价商品
doubtless:

• adv. 无疑地，肯定地
• adj. 无疑的，肯定的
  garment: n. 衣服，服装

第一步：找谓语

Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.

第二步：断句

原句中存在3处谓语动词，包含3件事，这些动词分别存在于以下分句中：

• explains 为主句谓语
• descended 为how引导的宾语从句中的谓语
• found 为which引导的定语从句中的谓语

按照标点、引导词以及谓语可以将原句划分为以下分句：

• Priestly explains —— 主句
• how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin —— 宾语从句
• in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.——定语从句

第三步：简化

主句

Priestly explains

• 主句主语部分：Priestly
• 主句谓语部分：explains 为及物动词，后接宾语

去掉主句扩展成分，就得到了句子的核心：

• Priestly explains —— 普瑞斯特利解释道……

宾语从句

how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin

• 从句引导词：how 引导从句作为主句谓语 explains的宾语，该从句为宾语从句
• 从句主语部分：the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater
  • 定冠词：the 修饰名词：color
  • 形容词词组：deep blue 修饰名词：color
  • 名词：color 为从句主语核心词
  • 介词短语：of the assistant’s sweater 作为后置定语，解释说明名词：color
    • 定冠词：the 修饰名词：sweater
    • 名词所有格：assistant’s 修饰名词：sweater
    • 名词：sweater 作为介词：of 的宾语
• 从句谓语部分：descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin
  • 不及物动词：descended 为从句谓语
  • 介词短语：over the years 为时间状语，修饰动词：descended，说明动作发生的时间

  • 介词短语：from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin 为范围状语，说明动作发生的路径范围——从时装秀到百货商场再到折扣区

去掉从句扩展成分，就得到了句子的核心：

• how …… color …… descended —— 怎么样 …… 颜色 …… 下降

定语从句

in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.

• 从句引导词：in which 引导从句，作为名词短语：the bargain bin 的后置定语，进一步解释说明：the bargain bin。
  • 介词：in 在这里提前
• 从句主语部分： the poor girl
  • 定冠词：the 修饰名词：girl
  • 形容词：poor 修饰名词：girl
  • 名词：girl 为从句主语核心词
• 从句谓语部分：doubtless found
  • 副词：doubtless 修饰动词：found
  • 动词：found 为及物动词，后接宾语
• 从句宾语部分：her garment.
  • 形容词性物主代词（人称代词所有格）：her 修饰名词：garment
  • 名词：garment 为动词：found 的宾语

去掉从句扩展成分，就得到了句子的核心：

• in which …… girl …… found …… garment —— 在那里 …… 女孩儿 …… 找到了 …… 衣服
