求解一个句子语法
Inducing tolerance in a patient “is perhaps the missing but essential element to add to the current components of sepsis care and treatment,”
这句话本身是一个简单的动名词短语做主语的主+系+表结构
但这句话本身同时也是主句谓语的宾语,把语序还原成一般结构就比较容易理解了
three experts on sepsis—the bloodstream infection that killed Ayres’s father—wrote that Inducing tolerance in a patient “is perhaps the missing but essential element to add to the current components of sepsis care and treatment,” in a medical journal editorial last year.
还原后可以清楚的看到主句的结构是:
three experts wrote that inducing........ is the missing but essential element .
这里我们就可以看到它是wrote的逻辑宾语,但为了强调写的内容把直接引用移到句首了。
这是很常见的作法,只是因为这个句子比较长,不太容易看出主干。
