【难句理解】 I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. 结构分析:句中的现在分词短语saying…是a text message的后置定语,其中that引导的从句是saying的宾语从句,后面when引导的时间状语从句表明与主句谓语几乎同时发生的事,其中还含有一个that引导的定语从句修饰从句中的名词a message。 汉语大意:我拿出手机看妈妈发的短信,她说我们该去给爸爸挑选圣诞礼物了,正好偶然间我看到了手机上之前锁定的一条信息。
