原文:
It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers.
句子解析:
It(形式主语)is(谓语)difficult(表语)to the point of impossibility(程度状语)for the average reader under the age of forty(状语)to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers(真正的主语).
该句的主干结构为It is difficult ... to imagine a time...。在真正的主语to imagine a time后面有when引导的限定性定语从句修饰time,在此定语从句中high-quality arts criticism做主语,could be found做谓语,in most big-city newspapers做地点状语。
参考译文:对于40岁以下的普通读者来说,他们难以想象到了一个几乎不可能的程度:一个可以在大多数大城市的报纸上读到高质量的艺术评论的时代。
