以下句子的意思是...?

要正確翻譯 the thought we may have played a part is gut-wrenching 這分句就必須解決其中的一個文法問題，

the thought we may have played a part is gut-wrenching 實際是
the thought that we may have played a part is gut-wrenching

錯誤出在 the thought 在 we may have played a part 這關係從句中不是 subject，又不是 object，因為主詞是 we，受詞是 a part，那麼 the thought 就不是關係代名詞(relative pronoun) 而必定是副詞，這分句是正確寫法可以有多個可能，就整句來看最可能是作以下修改。

the thought we may have played a part in is gut-wrenching
或
the thought in which we may have played a part is gut-wrenching
這個或許我們已經參與其中思念是令人精神通苦的

整句翻譯：

沒有一分鐘過去我們不想著那個家庭和他們正在遭遇的，而這個或許我們已經參與其中思念是令人精神通苦的。


PS
答案002似乎忽略了句子是雙否定式(double negative)，實質意思是沒有一分鐘不在想，即每分鐘都在想著。

漏了個「的」字

沒有一分鐘過去我們不想著那個家庭和他們正在遭遇的，而這個或許我們已經參與其中「的」思念是令人精神通苦的。

句子是出於那對澳洲DJ之口的分句的意思就明顯了，意思是

這個或許是我們有份做成的思念是令人精神通苦的。

英文寫法是
the thought we may have played a part in making is gut-wrenching

the thought 是關係從句中 making 的受詞

eicachan's comment has reminded me that "the thought we may have played a part" is not a relative clause.

The thought is "we may have played a part". It is a noun clause.

eicachan's interpretation is correct.

The expression would be clearer if stated this way:

the thought we may have played a part in the tragedy/incident is gut-wrenching

Not a minute goes by that we don't think about the family and what they are going through, 吾等無間思念該家庭和彼等正經歷之事情，
and the thought we may have played a part is gut-wrenching
而吾等或許曾参予其事之念頭是令人傷痛的。

"Not a minute goes by that we don't think about the family and what they are going through, and the thought we may have played a part is gut-wrenching."








"沒有一分鐘的時間流逝我們不認為有關家庭和他們正在經歷，我們可能有發揮作用的思想是自找。"

garlic的推理是正確，句子就是漏了一個"in", 請看以下的資料

"There's not a minute that goes by where we don't think about her family and what they must be going through," a tearful Greig said Monday on the Australian TV show A Current Affair.

謝謝 garlic2010 的指正，昨為答案002原本的回答者，由於這回答已犯了無法更正的錯誤，所以唯有移除這個回答。

非常謝謝 garlic2010 的指正，另外，負責其他網友的期望，實在對不起了。

我會譯作：
過去的每一分鐘，我們都在想我們的家人以及他們正在經歷甚麼，而那些想法可能是痛苦的。

gut-wrenching(adj.)的釋義:引起精神(或感情)上的極度痛苦的
