【真题例句】
Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past tense condition.
【楠楠自语】
第一步:谓语动词:suggests, need, can be, should consider
第二步:从句引导词:省略that, 冒号,that
第三步:拆分主从句
该句的被动语态出现在that引导的定语从句中,
介词短语by moment-to-moment joy为状语,表示“用即时快乐的方式”。
冒号前面的句子包含一个省略了that的宾语从句we need to redefine happiness。
冒号之后的主句为we should consider… past tense condition。
【参考译文】
