哈利波特里有一句话fine thing it would be if, on the very day you-know-who seems to have gone, the muggles found about us. 这句话假如不需要seems,是该说on the very day you know who has gone,还是该说left.该用完成时还是过去时?the very day指的是今天。
你的句子是否漏掉了一些词汇。这句话的正常语序是:
It would be a fine thing if, on the very day you-know-who seems to have gone, the muggles found out about us all.
【翻译】就在“你认识的那个人”仿佛已经离去的那一天,麻瓜已经查明了大家所有人的底细,果真这样的话,那将是好事。
【剖析】
1. 主句:It would be a fine thing
2. 条件从句:if, on the very day you-know-who seems to have gone, the muggles found out about us all.
3. 在条件从句中,又包括一个“时间从句 + 主句”。
时间从句:on the very day you-know-who seems to have gone(就在......那一天。严格的说,you-know-who seems to have gone 是day 的定语从句。)
主句:the muggles found out about us all
you-know-who:是一个单词,意思是“你认识的那个人”,不可分开理解。
4. 假如不说seems,那样句子就是一般过去时:on the very day you-know-who went,
