Question

请问有哪位高手可以解释一下这个英语句式，帮我分析一下~谢谢

I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.中的as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.
还有They did not make me happy,应该如何翻译？

Answer 1

They did not make me happy 中的THEY 指的是前面的新衣服，即黑鞋，绿校服，和红帽子。这句话的意思是：但是这些新衣服并没有让我高兴起来。
as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.这句里的AS 表示原因，是原因状语从句。翻译过来是：因为这是我第一次被送到学校去上学的日子。
这段话字里行间表现出这个作者不愿意上学的态度。从前面的clutching his right hand紧紧抓住他的手，到后面的be thrown into school。都有种被强迫的意味。

Answer 2

as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.
因为这是我第一次被扔进学校那天。
They did not make me happy
这些东西并不能让我高兴。

Answer 3

They did not make me happy
他们(着装)并不令我开心
as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.
因为这天是我第一次去学校的日子
