2018屠屠考研英语长难句 一日一句(98)

98. These letters are filled with his wrestling with the consequences of being the part-private, part-public creature that he became, desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy. 

【句式分析】

These letters are filled with his wrestling是句子的主题，后面with结构是状语，that he became是修饰creature的定语从句，难点在于最后两个形容词词组的成分（desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy）。这两个形容词词组用来修饰前面的名词creature。

【词汇】

 wrestling n. 挣扎，斗争

be desperate to do 强烈渴望做

be subject to 遭受到

invasion n. 入侵

【中文妙译】

这些信中处处都显现出他因为自己成为半私人、半公开这样一个人物反复挣扎的心理，他渴望将自己奉献给文字，但又时时受到私人空间受到侵袭的威胁。
