1.FrederickWilliamⅠ,theKingofPrussia,couldneverhaveimaginedthathisgreatestgifttotheRussianpeoplewouldhavesuchanamazinghistory.
[句式分析] 在本句中FrederickWilliamⅠ为主语,theKingofPrussia为主语的同位语,couldneverhaveimagined作句子的谓语,that引导宾语从句hisgreatestgifttotheRussianpeoplewouldhavesuchanamazinghistory。
其中totheRussianpeople作gift的定语。
[自主翻译] 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。
2.ThisgiftwastheAmberRoom,whichwasgiventhisnamebecauseseveraltonsofamberwereusedtomakeit.
[句式分析] 本句是一个主从复合句,which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词theAmberRoom,which在从句中充当主语;because引导原因状语从句。
[自主翻译] 这件礼物就是琥珀屋,它之所以有这个名字,是因为建造它用了好几吨的琥珀。
3.Itwasalsoatreasuredecoratedwithgoldandjewels,whichtookthecountry’sbestartistsabouttenyearstomake.
[句式分析] 本句是一个主从复合句,which引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是atreasure,关系词which在定语从句中作主语。
decoratedwithgoldandjewels是过去分词短语作定语,相当于定语从句whichwasdecoratedwithgoldandjewels。
[自主翻译] 它也是一件用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。
这个国家最优秀的一批艺术家用了大约10年的时间将其完成。
4.ThereisnodoubtthattheboxeswerethenputonatrainforKönigsberg,whichwasatthattimeaGermancityontheBalticSea.
[句式分析] Thereisnodoubtthat...为固定句型,意为“毫无疑问……”,that引导的定同位语从句,whichwasatthattimeaGermancityontheBalticSea为非限制性定语从句,修饰Königsberg。
[自主翻译] 毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火车运往当时位于波罗的海的德国城市哥尼斯堡。
