Structural Analysis: 句中的情态助动词would表示将来。这里的otherwise相当于一个含蓄条件句，即条件从句不表达出来，而暗含在otherwise或其他的词组或从句中。文中的句子相当于： If things would not work out, he would be satisfied with his ordinariness. 再看一个例子： (I’m very tired.) Otherwise, I would certainly go with you. 含蓄条件句除了可以用otherwise表达外，还可以用其他的词组或分句表达。如： But for your help, I couldn’t have finished the job. In different circumstances, he might have given up.

(335 words) 对于Sparky来说，这个在学校从来没有出头之日的男孩，这个作品一再被退回的男孩，他就是查尔斯·舒尔茨。 Sentence Paraphrase: For Sparky, Charles Schultz was the prototype of the boy -- he had always been a failure in school, and his work had never been accepted. Structural Analysis: 这句话the boy后面有两个定语从句who had never had any success in school和whose work was rejected again and again，构成了两个并列的定语从句。一般来说，一个先行词之后只有一个定语从句修饰，但是有时也出现两个或多个定语从句同时修饰一个先行词。这种语法现象叫做双重定语从句。双重定语从句有两种情况：一种是两个定语从句由并列连词连接，处于同一层次（如例a）；另一种是两个定语从句处于不同层次（如例b）。如： a) I want to buy a house that looks over the sea and that has a big garden. b) He is the only person I know who can be qualified for the position.
