中文词意

 

adj. 等价的，相等的；同意义的

 

 

这句话的主语是"We"，谓语"like"，可以将不定式"to think"当宾语，"think"后面接宾语从句"that invention comes as a flash of insight"，宾语从句的主语是"invention"，谓语"comes"，这里的"comes"应该是不及物动词，所以"as a flash of insight"可看成是方式状语，即“以...的方式到来了”；" the equivalent of "可以看成是一个短语，"of"后面接名词性的成份，即--"that sudden Archimidean displacement of bath water"，"that"并不是引导一个从句，应该就是指代，表达常见的“那一个”的意思，"sudden"在这是形容词词性；"that"引导定语从句修饰"displacement"，"that"在定语从句中做主语，指代"displacement"，定语从句谓语"occasioned"，宾语"one of the most famous Greek interjections"，"εüρηκα"和宾语"one of the most famous Greek interjections"对等的同位语。

 

 

我们总喜欢认为发明是灵光一闪的产物，相当于导致最著名的希腊感叹词“我发现了”诞生的阿基米德突然让洗澡水溢出的瞬间。
