真诚的希望各位朋友帮我解答下这几句英语

(1)This is a sceptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in which our forefathers fervently believed has weakened这句话中我不知道这里的which修饰的是那个名词?(2) The majority of the patients attending the medical out-patients departments of our hospitals feel that they have not received adequate treatment这里的attending是形容词还是,动词ing形式???中文意思是什么呢??(3)since most medical men in the Health Services are overworked and have little time for offering time-consuming and little-appreciated advice on such subjects as diet, right living, and the need for abandoning bad habits etc., the bottle, the box, and the jar are almost always granted them. 这里的on such subjects as 是什么意思呢??abandoning bad habits etc书上翻译为克服坏习惯,abandoning查了下字典没有那个意思,几乎都是放弃的意思???(4) Carlyle was entirely ignorant of what the bottle in his pocket contained, of the nature of the illness from which his friend was suffering这里的which是否修饰的是 illness而which又做suffering的定语,有这种用法吗???(5)comforted by the thought of the help he was bringing to his friend这里的by the thought of the help 是什么意思呢??(6)that is what all patients demand of their doctors -- to be cured at no inconvenience to themselves这里的what指的是什么???

Answer 1

1 修饰的faith
our faith in many of the things (in which our forefathers fervently believed) has weakened
2 动词ing形式做后置定语。我们医院的大部分门诊部门的患者都觉得自己没有得到充分的治疗。
3 意思：在这些事情上 比如
abandoning bad habits 可以翻译为克服坏习惯、改掉坏习惯。很多翻译不能只看一个单词，有些是一个固定搭配。
4 which修饰的是illness 但which 不是suffering 的定语
suffer from sth. 是固定搭配，遭受什么之苦的意思。which 是suffer from 的宾语.
5 这句话的意思是：只是想到他的朋友的帮助，他就很欣慰。
by the thought of 一想到什么
by the thought of the help 一想到他的帮助
6 指的是破折号后边的to be cured at no inconvenience to themselves

这里边其实好多问题都是关于定语从句的，把定语从句相关的知识看看吧。
