explain

解释: 本句逗号以前只有复杂修饰的长主语有些难,但总的来讲比较好懂,since引导的原因状语从句较难。

a. Since之后的it指前面的statement。Highlight的宾语an aspect之后有两个修饰成分,一个是(of her literary interests),另一个是以that引导的定语从句that is very different from the traditional picture of the “poetic” novelist,都是修饰an aspect的。Novelist后面又有由and连接的两个介词结构concerned with doing修饰novelist。

b. 句中有两处省略。一是在her literary interests that is very different from当中,修饰interests的定语从句中引导词+be(that is)被一起省略。第二处在and 之后,由于concerned with与前面的concerned with重复,所以concerned被省略。

c. 本句另外一个难懂的地方,就是使用了大量的抽象词。这是文学评论题材的文章的一个特点。
