"When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures, so I did ten times more work."
—Bernard Shaw
分析
When引导的状语从句:When I was young
主句(主语+谓语+that引导的宾语从句):I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures.
Nine out of ten things = nine in ten(十之有八九)。
该句中,ten things后面省略了引导定语从句的连词"That / which":(That / which) I did修饰前面的先行词ten things.
连词so引出的结果状语从句:so I did ten times more work.
单词提示
young:年轻的,年幼的
observe:注意到,观察
failure:失败
times:次数,时代
参考译文
年轻时我发现自己做事十之八九是不成功的,所以我付出了更多的努力。(英国剧作家萧伯纳)
