305. Mood may be defined as a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied to any particular circumstance.
译文
情绪可以被定义为一种暂时的、略微积极或消极的情感,这种情感是普遍的,不依赖于任何特殊环境而存在。点睛
本句的主干是mood may be defined as a feeling。其中,that引导限定性定语从句,修饰feeling。短语be defined as是固定搭配,意思是“被定义为”。如:
Learning can be defined as a process of progressive change from ignorance to knowledge. 学习可以被定义为一种从无知到获得知识的进步过程。
be tied to意为“与……有关”。如:
The success of the project was tied to the support of the government. 这个项目的成功与政府的支持密切相关。
考点归纳
探析that引导的限定性定语从句。限定性定语从句是对先行词在本质上或特征上进行限制说明的一种定语从句,它所修饰的词代表一个(些)或一类特定的人或事物。定语从句由关系代词或关系副词引导,其中由关系代词that引导的限定性定语从句需要注意以下几点:
that引导的限定性定语从句既可以修饰指“人”的先行词,又可以修饰指“物”的先行词。如:
1) Do you know the woman that we met at the office? 你认识我们在办公室见到的那个女人吗?
2) I will never forget the days that we spent in Shanghai. 我永远不会忘记我们在上海度过的那些日子。
限定性定语从句的先行词只能用that的几种情况:
1)先行词是不定代词all,none,one,any,few,little,much,everything,nothing,anything等时。如:
All that is needed is the support of the family. (我们)所需要的是家人的支持。
2)先行词被序数词或the last,the only,the very修饰时。如:
He is the very person that we are looking for. 他正是我们所要找的人。
3)先行词被形容词最高级修饰时。如:
It is the most interesting book that I have ever read. 这是我所读过的最有趣的一本书。
4)先行词既包含人,又包含物时。如:
They talked about the things and the persons that they remembered in the school. 他们谈到了他们记忆中学校里的那些人和事。
