1I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week.
主干主语:I;谓语:can pick ... and know;宾语:a date;以及三个并列的宾语从句(where / what / the day)
结构并列谓语 pick 与 know。know 后接三个并列成分:where I was(地点宾语从句)、what happened in the news(事件宾语从句)、even the day of the week(名词短语,与前两从句并列作 know 的内容)。from the past 53 years 修饰 date;instantly 修饰 know。
译文我能从过去五十三年里随便挑出一个日子,立刻知道自己当时在哪儿、新闻里发生了什么,甚至那天是星期几。
考点know 后可并列多个宾语从句与名词短语 · even 强调最后一个并列项
2I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs.
主干主语:I;谓语:never feel;表语:overwhelmed;介词短语:with the amount of information
结构feel overwhelmed with 为“被……压垮”的系表结构。the amount of information 后省略关系代词 that/which,my brain absorbs 为定语从句修饰 information。never 否定全句。
译文我从不觉得自己被大脑吸收的海量信息压得喘不过气。
考点feel overwhelmed with 后接名词 · 定语从句省略作宾语的关系代词
3When I think of a sad memory, I do what everybody does – try to put it to one side.
主干主语:I;谓语:do;宾语:what everybody does;破折号后补充说明具体动作
结构When 引导时间状语从句。主句中 what everybody does 为宾语从句(what 兼作 does 的宾语)。破折号引出同位说明,try to put it to one side 解释 do 的具体内容;put ... to one side 为固定搭配。
译文想起伤心往事时,我和所有人一样——尽量把它搁到一边。
考点what 引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语 · 破折号后对前文动作作同位解释
4I don't think it's harder for me just because my memory is clearer.
主干主语:I;谓语:don't think;宾语从句:it's harder for me just because ...
结构否定前移:don't think 否定的是后面整个看法。宾语从句中 it 为形式主语,真正比较对象隐含(回忆悲伤并不更难);just because 引导原因状语从句,just 强调“仅仅因为”。
译文我并不认为,仅仅因为记忆更清晰,这件事对我来说就更难。
考点否定前移:don't think 否定从句内容 · just because 强调“仅仅因为”
5I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before.
主干主语:I;谓语:can recall;并列宾语:the day ... 和 the sadness ...
结构recall 后两个并列宾语。the day 后省略 when/that,my grandfather died 为定语从句。the sadness 后 I felt 为省略关系代词的定语从句;when we went to the hospital the day before 为时间状语从句修饰 felt。
译文我能想起祖父去世的那天,以及前一天我们去医院时我感到的悲伤。
考点the day 后定语从句常省略关系词 · 并列宾语后各自带不同从句修饰
