全句:
The first man we can name who climbed a mountain for no reason otherthan that it was there was Frenchman Jean Buridan in the early fourteenthcentury.
请问:
1. man后面是不是接了两个定语从句呢,之间无需加连词连接吗?
2. other than在此是介词还是连词呢?
3. that it was there是名词从句吗,还是定语从句?(文章开头提到过 The famous wordsof the British climber George Mallory were, "Because it is there.")
感谢指导!
1 The first man we can name who climbed a mountain... 这是双重定语从句,二个定语从句不在同一个层次上,不是并列关系,所以不需要并列连词,we can name的先行词为first man, who...定语从句的先行词为first man we can name。
2 other than一般根据介词剖析,但事实上than比较分句的简略,简略到只剩下一个名词,所以就根据介词剖析了。这就是为何介词一般不可以后接that从句,than却可将来接that从句是什么原因。
3 that从句为名词性从句,与reason是同位关系,表示缘由。除去that从句表示的这个缘由外没其他缘由。
