Lesson 1难句解析

1. But do all millionaires find the happiness that they thought they would get when they achieve their goals? (P8)

本句是一个具有疑问句形式的复合句。还原为陈述句时，结构如下：主语all millionaires + 谓语find + 宾语the happiness + [定语从句that (插入语they thought) they would get ]+ (状语从句when they achieve their goals)。

[温馨提示]

遇到一般疑问句、感叹句、强调句及倒装句时，我们可以先将其还原成陈述句，这样便于看清楚句子结构；同时可以用"{}"、"[]"、"( )"、"/"、"___"以及"→"等符号来划分句子成分。

2. He was tired of being a person who had everything in a world where many people had nothing. (P8)

这个句子的精彩之处在于使用了两个限制性定语从句，who had everything in a world 修饰person，而where many people had nothing 修饰world。world在此处指the society we live in，所以前面用了不定冠词。本句可翻译为：他不想再做在许多人一无所有的情况下自己却拥有一切的那种人了。

3. He made the choice to give all his money away. (P8)

make a choice和make the choice都是"做出选择"的意思，但前者没有说明具体做何选择，后者则说明了具体要做的选择，常与to do sth.连用。如：

Women are often forced to make a choice between family and career.

妇女常常被迫在家庭和事业之间做出选择。

He made the choice to devote himself to teaching in the countryside.

他选择把自己奉献给农村的教育事业。

[仿写]

大学毕业后，他选择去西藏工作。

Key：After graduation from university, he made the choice to go to work in Tibet.
