难句讲解

1. Every partial solution that ought to result， and in other people does result， in an improvement or a temporary suspension of symptoms produces in them for the time being an intensification of their illness; they get worse during the treatment instead of getting better.

[简析] 本句话的主干是“Every partial solution produces in them an intensification， they get worse…”。that引导的定语从句修饰solution;them 和they都是指前面句子中的such people.

2. If we analyse this resistance in the usual way — then， even after fixation to the various forms of gain from illness， the greater part of it is still left over; and this reveals itself as the most powerful of all obstacles to recovery， more powerful than the familiar ones of narcissistic (admiring one‘s own self too much) inaccessibility， a negative attitude towards the physician and clinging to the gain from illness.

[简析]本句话是一个并列句，其主干是“the greater part of it is still left over…and this reveals itself as…”。If引导的是条件状语从句，even after引导的短语是插入语;it 之得失this resistance;后面句子中的this 指的是前面的句子;a negative attitude…短语是在解释inaccessibility.

3. It is also particularly difficult to convince the patient that this motive lies behind his continuing to be ill; he holds fast to the more obvious explanation that treatment by analysis is not the right remedy for his case.

[简析]本句话是一个并列句，其主干是“It is also difficult to convince the patient…he holds fast to…”。It是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的to conceive…短语，其中的that引导的是宾语从句;he指的是the patient;第二个that引导的是explanation的同位语从句。
