復雜的分割結構（插入語）的理解 例213

例213　Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him "an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him."

【結構分析】這句話的主語是Tommasini，后面是個插入語，也是個定語從句，也就是who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times，動詞是calls，直接賓語是him，間接賓語是an unpretentious musician，后面是介詞短語做定語，修飾前面的名詞，也就是with no air of the formidable conductor about him。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于插入語使用得很經典，而且是個定語從句，定語從句做插入語表示主語的狀態(tài)，比如I, who loves swimming, is crazy about sports。

【核心詞匯】

who had advocated Gilbert's appointment　支持Gilbert任命

an unpretentious musician　低調的音樂家

with no air of the formidable conductor　找不到那種飛揚跋扈的指揮家的氣質。

【參考譯文】甚至在時代雜志上發(fā)文支持Gilbert任命的Tommasini都稱其為：低調的音樂家，在他身上找不到那種飛揚跋扈的指揮家的氣質。
