an english grammar
such slights may not mean much individually,but added up they can lead to death by a thousand paper cuts.
请问在这句话中,
but added up they can lead to death by a thousand paper cuts.
是什么句法结构啊?
but (slights are) added up (that) they can lead to death by a thousand paper cuts.
tks alot

答案

你理解的基本正确,但是 that 加的有点勉强,因为它不是定语从句,而是个条件状语从句.可以这样理
but (if slights are) added up they can .
或者 but (when slight are) added up they can.
