解释一句VOA的句子前文意思是在独立战争爆发之后,有些英国人支持美国,有些英国人支持英国.然后有了这句话,Whichever side British citizens were on,there was no question that the war was causing severe problems in Britain.后半句的结构看起来很奇怪,首先说no question——然后紧跟着从句表示的意思是“在英国国内没有造成severe problems”,这里的no qusetion的用法让人很迷惑——虽然能猜测意思是否定了从句中的意思,即“无论各个英国国民站在哪一边,在英国国内无造成严重问题”,但如何理解这种结构?简要解释即可.

there was no question = 毫无疑问的是
整句句子的意思如下：
不论英国公民们站在哪一方，毫无疑问的是这场战争在英国国内引发了巨大的问题。

there was no question that the war was causing severe problems in Britain.
此句为一主语从句 the war was causing severe problems in Britain起解释说明作用

首先,前半句 whichever side British citizens were on = no matter which side British Citizens were on,也就是说无论英国公民站在哪一方,美国也好,英国也好；
其次,there was no question = it was certain ,毫无疑问
Whichever side British citizens were on, there was no question that the war was causing severe problems in Britain.无论英国公民站在哪一方,可以肯定的是,这场战争给英国引起巨大问题.
