3. Harry has contradictory feelings about his new life. At first, he enjoys it, but later, he learns the confidential information that the school's evil wizard, Voldemort, is the one who killed his parents.
对于新生活,哈利有一种矛盾的心情。起初,他很喜欢新生活,但是后来,他知道了一个秘密,学校的邪恶巫师伏地魔就是杀死他父母的人。
【巧解句构】句中"that the school's evil wizard, Voldemort, is the one who killed his parents"是一个同位语从句,指代"the confidential information"的内容。
【拓展延伸】同位语从句是用来说明前面名词的具体内容的。这些名词常见的有fact,news,hope,truth,idea,suggestion,thought,question,promise,order,story,problem,fear,belief,word,message,information,proof,announcement,desire,doubt,answer,proposal,advice,condition等。
同位语从句功能:同位语从句跟在一个名词后,对其作进一步解释、说明(有时也会被其他词将它和名词分开)。如:
①I had no idea that you were here.
我不知道你在这儿。
②Word came that they had arrived.
有消息说他们已经到了。
【辨析比较】同位语从句和定语从句的区别:
a.从意义上讲,前者对名词加以补充说明,后者对名词进行修饰和限定。
b.从结构上讲,前者由连接词引导,后者由关系词引导。
c.从内涵上讲,前者所说明的名词与从句没有逻辑关系,后者所限定的名词是从句逻辑上的主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语等。
d.引导同位语的连词不可以省略,而引导定语从句的关系词作宾语时常可以省略。
e.同位语从句说明的名词多为抽象名词,而定语从句则无此限制,常见的跟同位语从句的名词有news(消息),fact(事实),idea(主意),thought(想法),hope(希望),order(命令)等。如:
①The news that they won the match is true.
他们比赛获胜的消息是真的。(同位语从句)
②The news that you told me yesterday is true.
昨天你给我讲的消息是真的。(定语从句)
③The order when we should return hasn't reached us.
我们什么时候返回的命令还未到。(同位语从句)
④The day when New China was founded will never be forgotten.
新中国成立的那天永远不会被忘记。(定语从句)
