Question

问英语语法问题？

That it was not was a deeply regrettable error in judgment." 请问was not 后面怎么还能加was？这属于什么语法现象？还有，that 后面怎么加it？请说明谢谢！

Answer 1

因为that后面引导的是一个从句，如果不加was，那他就缺少成分了，所以要加上一个was。而it也是从句的主语，更是不能少的呀。

非常好，我想问的是第二个was，它在句中所起到的作用是什么？谢谢

追答

这是哪里的句子？我觉得后面那个是多余的

有原文吗

追问

是新闻上的，我也十分费解

Answer 2

这句话是没有问题的，你说是新闻中找到的，我去google了上下文。
"We have published many stories about the human suffering caused by the outbreak. They are stories not about a virus, they are stories of real people, real hurt, and real tragedy," he wrote in a statement. "This should have been our starting point when considering publishing the cartoon. That it was not was a deeply regrettable error in judgment."
我们已经发表了许多关于因为爆发所造成的人类痛苦的故事。这些故事不是关于病毒，这些故事是关于人本身，是真正的伤痛，是真正的悲剧，他写道。这应该成为我们制作卡通片时的考量。而目前它没有成为我们的考量目标是一个价值观上的值得后悔的错误。
it was not是说it was not our starting point的缩略写法
it was not(主语）was（谓语）a deeply regrettable error in judgment.
展开来写就是这样：that this has not been our starting point when considering publishiing the cartoon was a deeply regrettable error in judgment.
这句话语法结构没有任何问题
