缺席的 [复记强化] [难句理解] Strange as it may seem, if you’re unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires
but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes. 结构分析:这个句子结构比较复杂。首先是一个as引导的让步状语从句,后接一个条件从句,而后面用了两个not…but结构。 汉语大意:尽管看来很奇怪,如果你不满意的话,问题不是缺乏满足你欲望的方法,而是缺乏欲望本身——不是你无法满足你的口味,而是你没有足够的口味。 * * 林辉 * * 林辉
