In front of the chairs are deep sinks with a showerhead and long metal tube attached to the copper taps with screws, not that anyone seems to use them.
请问:not that anyone seems to use them.是定语从句吗?如何感觉仿佛少了些什么?
not that 是一个习惯使用方法,用来表示说话人前面所说的事也没什么大不了,并没暗示什么。 可译为“并不是……”,“并非说……”。是说话人对前面说过的话的一个补充说明。一般前面有逗号或破折号。可理解是I am not suggesting that + 从句变化而来的惯用语。一定不是定语从句。从功能上讲,对前面整句话作补充说明,起的是状语有哪些用途(评注性性状语----说话人对自己句子的评论、讲解)。
She hasnt written—not that she said she would. 她没写信,她也并没说过要写。
I saw him with some other woman, not thatI care. 我看见他和别的女性在一块,其实我也不在乎。
