1. 原句也可以写成这样

   It is time to cut down and make hay that will hold that summer sweetness all through the cold, hungry winter months.

   但是没有hay - hay语气就平淡一些，语气上有微妙的区别。

   例如：

   我喜欢长沙的秋天，这是一个弥漫着甜桂花气息的秋天。

   我喜欢长沙的弥漫着香甜桂花气息的秋天。

   例如：

   He wrote a letter - a letter that expressed his thanks.

   He wrote a letter that expressed his thanks.

   
   

2. 介词短语

   
   

3. that will hold that summer sweetness all through the cold, hungry winter months.

   定语从句

   
   

• But what do these young men think about, while they work under the hot summer sun?

while 引导的时间状语从句，修饰的是 think about 。think about 是动词短语

• They think about a girl, a German girl called Paula, a girl in a yellow dress, a girl with bright eyes and a funny, quick way of talking.

  ​ 划线的地方是They think about a girl的同位语，内容太多用同位语。若用定语从句则太啰嗦。

  例如：

  They think about a girl who is a German and who is called Paula and who is in a yellow dress and who is with bright eyes and a funny, quick way of talking.

• Geoffrey burns with hate for his brother.

  
  

• No woman will ever love him.

  
  

• Who knows what the day or the night will birng?
