I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sank in.
句子翻译译文
我感觉至我听到了很重要的东西,但几年后才真正理解。
句子点评
I had been told something really important是同位语从句,而且是省列了that的引导。注意定语从句和同位语从句的主要区别在于从句缺不缺成分。定语从句时,从句本身缺某一成分,先行词在从句中作某个成分。
important 为形容词作后置定语修饰something。something 是一个合成不定代词。其他合成不定代词也常有形容词作后置定语的用法,如:nothing important (没有什么重要的(东西)), anything important (任何重要的(东西))。
tell 在句中是双宾动词,正常语序(即陈述语序)时为tell sb sth (告诉某人某件事)。但tell在这里采用了被动语态,所以变成 sb ... be told sth。
take 后边加时间的用法表示“花了(多少时间)”, 如: It takes about three days to get there. 到达那儿要花大约三天的时间。
