难句剖析
阅读理解A
They also have a St. Basil's cake, a cake with a coin baked inside it, and whoever gets the slice of cake with the coin in will be especially lucky in the New Year.
译文 他们还会烤一个圣瓦西里蛋糕,里面放入一枚硬币,谁吃到有硬币的那块蛋糕就会在新年里特别幸运。
分析 本句是由and连接的并列句,第一个分句的主干为They also have a St. Basil's cake,后面a cake with a coin baked inside it为同位语,解释说明圣瓦西里蛋糕的特点;在第二个分句中,whoever gets the slice of cake with the coin in是主语从句,由whoever所引导,意思相当于anyone who,表示“无论谁,任何人”,注意不要把whoever引导主语从句与它引导让步状语从句(=no matter who)时的用法相混淆。
