经典例句62 ▲▲▲Instead, the company has done precisely what it had long promised it would not: challenge the constitutionality of Vermont’s rules in the federal court, as part of a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant running.
-2012年text2(英语一)
1结构解析
本句的句子主干为the company has done…what…。其中what引导的宾语从句what it ... would not作done的宾语,该宾语从句的主语为it,谓语为had promised, it would not为had promised的宾语,其中省略了谓语动词do,原形为what it had long promised it would not(do)。冒号之后的challenge the…federal court为前面what引导的宾语从句的同位语,对其进行解释说明。句末as引导的方式状语修饰句子主干,不定式to keep ... plant running为a desperate effort的后置定语。
2参考译文
