过去分词作后置定语
—————
(which was) composed by
The music took me through the twists and turns of a classic story about a young couple torn apart by their families. When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first meet, the music is light and pleasant, as if whispering to the audience. It is followed by a fast and cheerful section which represents their three happy years of school.
乐曲带我进入了一个跌宕起伏的经典故事,讲述的是一对年轻情侣被他们家庭拆散的遭遇。当两个相爱的人,梁山伯与祝英台初次相见时,音乐轻柔愉悦,像是在低声耳语。随后是欢快的一节,代表两人同窗三载的快乐时光。

When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first ,the music is light and pleasant, as if whispering to the audience.

as if 引导状语从句
as if ( the music is)whispering
状语从句同时具备下列两个条件:
①主句和从句的主语一致,或从句主语为it;
②从句主要动词是be的某种形式。
满足以上两个条件,从句中的主语和be动词常可省略。
Then the music gets dramatic with heavier notes and that is when the lovers are separated because Zhu’s father forces her to marry another man. Angry and sad, Liang falls sick and dies. Zhu weeps bitterly over the loss of her love. Overcome with sorrow, she jumps into his grave. Finally, during the most exciting part, the music takes a softer turn and ends on a bittersweet note, telling us how the couple transform into butterflies and fly away to be together forever. It is an amazing journey!
接下来,曲调突然变得沉重,此时这对情侣被拆散,因为祝英台的父亲逼她另嫁他人。梁山伯悲愤交加,染病而亡,祝英台为失挚爱而痛哭,不胜伤悲,她跳进了梁山伯的坟墓。最后,在最激昂的部分,乐曲转而柔缓,以凄美的曲调收尾,它告诉我们,这对情侣化蝶而去,永世不再分离,真是一段美妙的旅程!
