语法透析:
原句:I don't see what all the fuss is about.
我不认为这有什么大不了的。
解析:what all the fuss is about是宾语从句。所谓的宾语从句就是置于动词、介词等词性后面起宾语作用的从句。它的语序必须是陈述语序。谓语动词、介词、动词不定式,v.-ing形式后面都能带宾语从句。有些形容词(afraid,sure,glad等)之后也可以带宾语从句。
原句中省略了that,完整的为I don't see (that) what all the fuss is about
例句:The boy believes (that) he will travel through space to other planets.
注意:当that从句是双宾语中的直接宾语时,that不可省。
例句:I can’t tell him that his mother died.
