She had a real passion for reading (rare in her kind, who for the most part are more interested in the author than in his book, in the painter than in his pictures4), and she invented a world of the imagination in which she lived with a freedom she never acquired in the world of every day.
她是真正热爱阅读的(在她这类人中很罕见,这些人大多数感兴趣的是作家而不是小说,是画家而不是画作),她创造了虚幻的世界,高高兴兴地在里面生活,享受着她在日常世界得不到的自由。
长难句解析
这句话由and连接的两个独立句组成。
第一句:括号中的内容作补充说明,可以省略,因此用括号括出,who引导的定语从句修饰“her kind”;
第二句:in which引导的定语从句修饰“imagination”,该定语从句中还套一定语从句,即“she never ... every day”,修饰前面的freedom。
