1It’s almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.
主干主语:It(形式主语);谓语:is;表语:almost impossible;真正主语:to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure
结构形式主语It后接系表结构almost impossible,真正主语是不定式短语to go through life,其中without experiencing...作伴随状语修饰go through,experiencing后接宾语some kind of failure。双重否定(impossible...without)强调必然性。
译文人这一生几乎不可能不经历某种失败。
考点形式主语It + 不定式真正主语 · without + 动名词表示伴随/条件
2But, the wonderful thing about failure is that it’s entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.
主干主语:the wonderful thing about failure;谓语:is;表语从句:that it’s entirely up to us to decide how to look at it
结构主句为主系表结构,表语是that引导的名词性从句。从句中it为形式主语,真正主语是不定式to decide,其后接how to look at it作宾语(疑问词+不定式结构)。be up to sb. to do表示“由某人决定做某事”。
译文但失败的美妙之处在于,如何看待它完全取决于我们自己。
考点be up to sb. to do sth. 由某人决定 · 疑问词+不定式作宾语
3Or, we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.
主干主语:we;谓语:can look at;宾语:failure;宾补:as the incredible learning experience that it often is
结构look at...as...把……看作……,as后接名词短语作宾补。that it often is是定语从句修饰experience,关系代词that在从句中作表语,it指代failure,强调失败常常就是这样一种学习经历。
译文或者,我们可以把失败看作它常常所是的那种绝佳学习经历。
考点look at A as B 把A视为B · 定语从句中that作表语
4Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.
主干主语:Failure;谓语:can teach;间接宾语:us;直接宾语:things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise
结构双宾语结构teach sb. sth.。things后接介词短语about ourselves,再接that引导的定语从句修饰things。从句用虚拟语气would never have learned,otherwise相当于if it were not so,表示与过去事实相反的假设。
译文失败还能教会我们一些关于自己的事情,若非如此我们永远学不到。
考点虚拟语气 would have done + otherwise · 定语从句修饰抽象名词things
