Incarcerated in Loch Leven Castle in the middle of a deep, cold lake, she unleashed her seductive charm on her jailer, one of the usually hard-bitten Douglas clan who melted in adoration.
结构剖析:这个句子是一个简单句。
句子的主干是:she unleashed her seductive charm on her jailer。主语是:she,谓语是unleashed her seductive charm on her jailer。剩下的可以分为两个部分:
第一是:incarcerated in Loch Leven Castle in the middle of a deep, cold lake,这是过去分词短语作时间状语,可以将之改为时间状语——when she was incarcerated in Loch Leven Castle in the middle of a deep, cold lake。这个过去分词中的in the middle of a deep, cold lake是介词短语作后置定语。
第二是:one of the usually hard-bitten Douglas clan who melted in adoration这是一个代词短语作同位语,做jailer这个名词的同位语,说明这个看守监狱的人的身份(Douglas clan)和性格特点(hard-bitten)以及行为(melted in adoration)。
进而,在这个同位语中含有一个定语从句:who melted in adoration。这个定语从句修饰不定代词one。One是先行词,先行词是one这个不定代词,它在主句中做主语,关系代词是who,不能用that。不要误认为这个定语从句修饰clan。它是在介词短语of the usually hard-bitten Douglas clan中,这个介词短语来修饰不定代词one。
