定语从句1 定语从句2
译文:我们距离20世纪初到二战前夕这一时期英国报纸上没有固定主题的评论甚至更远;当时,新闻用纸相当廉价,文体华丽的艺术评论被认为是刊登它们的出版物的装饰性点缀。
分析:本句的难点在于找到句子的主干结构。该句的主干部分为主系表结构: We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews…,其后为reviews的后置定语,between…and…是published的时间状语。 at a time…是前面的时间状语的同位语,此同位语里包含两个从句,即when引导的用于修饰time的定语从句和which引导的用于修饰先行词publications的定语从句。
