SENTENCE EXPLANATIONS
1. We see examples of unconscious body language very often, yet there is also “learned” body language, which varies from culture to culture.
= Though examples of unconscious body language are often seen, yet there is different “learned” body language in different cultures.
本句是一个并列句。连词yet在句中表示“然而”,连接两个并列的分句。yet前的分句是一个主谓宾结构的简单句,yet后的分句是一个含有定语从句的复合句,其中which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰“learned” body language。
2. Like other animals, we are on guard
until we know it is safe to relax.
= We human beings as well as other
animals pay more attention to what is
happening in order to avoid danger
before we feel safe and relaxed.
本句是一个复合句。Like other animals是介词短语作状语;until引导的是时间状语从句,其中know后面的it is safe to relax是省略了引导词that的宾语从句。
3. Muslims give a “salaam”, where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead.
= When Muslims salaam someone, they touch their heart, mouth and forehead.
本句是一个复合句。where引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词“salaam”,where在定语从句中作状语。salaam在这里作名词,意为“额手礼”,它也可用作动词,表示“行额手礼”。
