the greatest of them is what it always is with women.分析一下句中的what的作用.

问题描述:

the greatest of them is what it always is with women.分析一下句中的what的作用.
“but she has her faults.”answered gabriel.“true,farmer.”“and the greatest of them is what it always is with women”
此句的意思是:最严重的缺点总是与女人为伴.句中的what是不是换成that更好啊?

个人认为你的理解有误.这句话前后连起来的的意思是:她也有毛病,最大的毛病就是女人总会犯的那个.
what 在这里不能替换为that ,因为原文要表达的是the greatest fault is one that is always with women,(这里用what替代one that)
如果你直接把what变成that,那这个句子缺先行词哦,而且也偏离原意了.
)这是书上的翻译。书上用的是what嗯,这样翻译也只能用what,that会缺先行词。
