Lesson 1难句解析

　　They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren't allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. (P36)

此句为复合句。主句为"They believed ...", that 引导的宾语从句中含有一个if引导的条件状语从句，表达的是一种假设。if从句中还有省略现象，即： only bicycles were后面省略了allowed in the city centre。类似地，课文第3段中的"The new'white bike' is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours."也是个省略句， but和is之间省略了主语。
