Answer 1

分析 if the children who were thirsty for knowledge had received the books （that/which） we sent．

解答 答案：if the children who were thirsty for knowledge had received the books （that/which） we sent．需要翻译的部分是作为wondered的宾语从句，主句是一般过去时，从句也要用过去时，连接词是if表示是否，后加陈述语序，也就是主语+谓语，主语是那些渴求知识的孩子们，我们用定语从句来呈现，先行词是那些孩子们the children是复数，选择指代人的关系词who作为定语从句的主语不可省略，渴求…用短语be thirsty for，先行词the children是复数，这里定语从句的谓语需与其一致，故用过去式were，加上宾语knowledge知识，故if the children who were thirsty for knowledge，是否收到这个动作是发生在主句wondered之前，故过去的过去，用过去完成时had+过去分词，故had received，receive的宾语是我们寄去的书，我们也用定语从句来表达，先行词是the books书，关系词选择which或者that，我们寄去的用过去时we sent（send的过去式），which或者that在这个定语从句中是做宾语，可以省略，故答案是if the children who were thirsty for knowledge had received the books （that/which） we sent．

点评 这是一个复合句，宾语从句定语从句都有呈现，课下多做一些从句练习，积累总结．
