復(fù)雜的狀語從句的拆分和理解 例125

例125　However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behavior became markedly different.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話剛開始用了一個(gè)表示時(shí)間狀語從句when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers，該時(shí)間狀語從句里面套有表示目的的狀語從句，也就是so that each could observe...，該目的狀語從句里面套有賓語從句，也就是what the other was getting in return for its rock，后面是這個(gè)句子主干their behavior became markedly different。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于多種句子的層層相套，時(shí)間狀語從句套上目的狀語從句，目的狀語從句套上賓語從句，各種從句交織在一起，很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

placed in separate but adjoining chambers　被關(guān)在分開但相鄰的兩間屋子

what the other was getting in return for its rock　對方用石塊交換到什么物品時(shí)

markedly different　明顯不一樣

【參考譯文】然而當(dāng)兩只猴子被關(guān)在分開但相鄰的兩間屋子、讓它們能互相看到對方用石塊交換到什么物品時(shí)，他們的行為就明顯不一樣了。
