Question

You are the bows from which your children As living arrows are sent forth.

You are the bows from which your children As living arrows are sent forth.这句话具体是怎么翻译的,完全看不懂语法啊?

Answer 1

这是个介词+which/whom/whose的定语从句， from后面那句话都是用来修饰bows的，其中as living arrows（介词短语）修饰your children, are sent forth是个被动语态，指被朝外发出。

分为两句就是：You are the bows(弓). Your children as(作为) living arrows are sent forth(朝外) from the bows.
直译过来就是：你们是弓，你们的孩子作为生命之箭是从弓里被往外射出的。整合起来就是：你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。

Answer 2

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
你们是弓，你们的孩子是从弦上发出的生命的箭矢。
