Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness. Love is space and time measured by the heart. What comes from the heart goes to the heart.
順便把各句子重點即架構交代一下:
Life is to be fortified by many friendships.
is to 表即有可能發生的未來,fortify有加強、使更加堅固的意思,be fortified by sth... 就翻成因某物而更加堅固/堅強。
(To love and to be love) is the greatest happiness.
這句沒什麼好講的,注意到主詞到哪裡就好。
Love is ((space and time) (measured by the heart)).
主詞是love,動詞是is,space and time當主詞補語;從measured開始到最後的一整串都用來修飾 space and time,用過去分詞 measured寫成分詞構句寫法。
(What comes from the heart) goes to the heart.
主詞是附合關係代名詞的 what ,身兼先行詞與關係代名詞,是comes from the heart子句中的主格關代,亦是 goes to the heart 主要句子中的主詞。
