Question

一个很难的英语句子的分析

Answer 1

I
had
a
selfish
thought
of
the
kind
that
all
kids
have
when
a
new
baby
was
born
你可以把这个句子分成两半来理解，不妨可以先把
of
the
kind
先去掉，
句子就成了，i
had
a
selfish
thought
that
all
kids
have
when
a
new
baby
was
born,
这是个定语从句，that
后面的句子都是修饰the
thought,
我有了一个凡是（家里）有了新生儿的孩子都有的自私想法，而这个想法就是冒号后面的，Mum
and
Dad
are
going
to
be
with
the
baby
all
the
time
and
buy
her
all
kinds
of
toys
a
thought
of
the
kind
就是类似这样的想法，不是固定搭配，理解就行了

Answer 2

a
selfish
thought
of
the
kind直译就是“这一类型的相似的自私的想法”。
I
had
a
selfish
thought
of
the
kind
that
all
kinds
have
when
a
new
baby
was
born:
我的这一自私想法是当一个新生婴儿出生时所有孩子都会有的。when
a
new
baby
was
born
是对前面情况的补充说明，说明这个想法在什么时候会有。
