这句话谓语是什么What thought I had been but just conceiving of starving myself to death不好意思，犯了点小错误，原文是what thought had i been but just conceiving of starving myself to death?谁能讲讲这个句子的结构啊 这句话是简爱里的，翻译：我不是一直处心积虑要饿死自己吗？维多利亚时代的英文还真是让人抓狂

抱歉，之前过于草率，没有仔细看，对不起。这和哪个时代没有关系，现在也这么说。
what thought had i been but just conceiving of starving myself to death?
我不是一直处心积虑要饿死自己吗？
had been conceiving 是谓语，though是宾语，i是主语
of starving myself to death是thought的定语，说明具体的thought是什么。
陈述语序就是 i had been conceiving a thought of starving myself to death.

我想的仅仅只是考虑让自己饿死吗？
谓语应该是， had i been,倒装句，起强调作用。

had been put是谓语..
but后面一律是伴随壮语

had been conceiving

had been but just conceiving of 是一个谓语整体
中心是conceiving of

第一层是what thought had I been conceiving of starving myself to death?
but just应该是一个语气，仅仅只是。
整个是说我是一直在想什么啊要把自己饿死啊！
所以谓语是been conceiving of (conceive)
