As robots become more and more effective at striking targets, as these machines develop the ability to think on their own, as we begin to do the calculation that our soldiers lives are safer when a robot is in charge than when a fallible human is, well, you know, it all feels a bit like a Ray Bradbury novel come to life.

這句話的狀語(yǔ)從句部分有點(diǎn)像中文的排比句---"As robots become more and more effective at striking targets"，（其主語(yǔ)"robots"，半系詞"become"，"more and more effective"為表語(yǔ)，"at striking targets"可當(dāng)成狀語(yǔ)，故此句的結(jié)構(gòu)更偏向于主系表）/"as these machines develop the ability to think on their own"(其主語(yǔ)"these machines"，謂語(yǔ)"develop"，賓語(yǔ)"the ability"，"to think"是賓語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)，"on their"算是前面修飾賓語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)中不定式動(dòng)作的狀語(yǔ))/"as we begin to do the calculation that our soldiers lives are safer when a robot is in charge than when a fallible human is"(其主語(yǔ)"we"，謂語(yǔ)"begin"，不定式"to do the calculation"可看作賓語(yǔ)，"that"引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，其解構(gòu)為主系表，同位語(yǔ)從句主語(yǔ)"our soldiers lives"，系詞"are"，表語(yǔ)"safer"，"when"引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句主語(yǔ)"a robot"，系詞"is"，"in charge"做表語(yǔ)；后面的"when a fallible human is"同樣是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，其主語(yǔ)"a fallible human"，系詞"is"，表語(yǔ)"in charge"由于同前面的狀語(yǔ)從句一樣而被省略掉)；以上為三個(gè)"as"引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句；"well"和"you know"都是插入語(yǔ)；主句"it all feels a bit like a Ray Bradbury novel come to life"。

 

 

隨著機(jī)器人在打擊目標(biāo)方面變得越來(lái)越有效，隨著這些機(jī)器發(fā)展出獨(dú)立思考的能力，隨著我們開(kāi)始認(rèn)為由機(jī)器人指揮時(shí)我們士兵的生命會(huì)比由容易犯錯(cuò)的人類(lèi)指揮時(shí)更加安全，哦，你要知道，這一切感覺(jué)有點(diǎn)像是雷·布萊德利的小說(shuō)變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)。

 

 

對(duì)于主句來(lái)講，主語(yǔ)"it"，其他部分需要說(shuō)明的是"feels"是謂語(yǔ)肯定無(wú)疑，但我們更應(yīng)該把"feels like"放在一起去看，這樣大家會(huì)更熟悉，所謂的"a bit"只是強(qiáng)調(diào)一下看上去“像”的程度，而在"like"后面跟著的是一個(gè)句子，其主語(yǔ)"a Ray Bradbury novel"，"come to life"是個(gè)固定習(xí)語(yǔ)，表達(dá)"活躍了起來(lái)"；注意，若你發(fā)現(xiàn)在"feel like"后面加的是句子，那這個(gè)"like"相當(dāng)于"as if"或者"as though"的作用，也就是"就好像"的意思。
