长句分析练习。
例句
一、
It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself.
1).重点词汇及短语:
describe…with… 用……描述……
articulate 【生义】v. 清楚地表达,描述【熟义】adj. 明晰清楚的
reaction n. 反应
grasp v. 理解,领会(尤指复杂的事情或观点)
2).句子成分分析:本句为主从复合句,主干是It is also the reason...。why引导定语从句,解释说明the reason。定语从句中包含了一个时间状语从句when we try to describe music with words。关系副词why引导限定性定语从句,修饰先行词reason, 在定语从句中充当原因状语。例如:He didn’t tell me the reason why he was so upset. 从句引导词选用关系副词why还是关系代词that/which,取决于先行词reason在从句中充当的成分:先行词reason在从句中作副词性成分,应该用why。例如:Please tell me the reason why he was late.(先行词reason在从句中作原因状语);先行词reason在从句中作名词性成分,应该用that/which。例如:Please tell me the reason that/which made him late.(先行词reason在从句中作主语)
3).参考译文:这也是为什么当我们试图用语言描述音乐时,我们只能表达出自己对音乐的感受,而无法领悟音乐本身。
请按照上述例子分析下面的长句:
