主题：拜托大家帮我看一下这句怎么理解，理智与情感里面的

It gave to his intentions whatever of decision was wanting before.
以前它给了他想要的任何决定

这个也不叫什么固定句型吧？应该就是普通的give意思吧?

以前无论做何决定都要给予他的目的

It gave to his intentions whatever of decision was wanting before.

whatever of decision was wanting before可作为intention的定语翻译，相当于what的用法。其还可以引导名次性从句使用。It是前面句话出现的代词，而不是形式主语作用。重要的是把握句子主干哦，It gave to his intentions.

它给了他以前所缺少的坚定果断的东西。大概这个意思，翻译不是很恰当。

这里的want 不是做想要的意思吧？是缺少的含义哈，adj.

give to 有送给，给予的意思
例：Courage is what we give to each other.勇气是我们相互给予的东西。

It gave to his intentions whatever of decision was wanting before
他所有的选择都是根据之前的需求做出的，这几乎成了他不可改变的习惯
it gave to应该就天生的、本性的（有上天赋予的意思）

It gave to his intentions whatever of decision was wanting before
这使他想要做出从来都未曾作出的决定。（可能是这个意思，但我也不敢确定，因为很大程度上一句话的意义基本是由其语境而决定的）

它满足他以前想要的任何决定。

这让他明白了决策之类的目的即之前的需求.

It gave to his intentions whatever of decision was wanting before.
同意6搂， wanting 是缺乏之意. adj.
这驱使他有意做前所未做的确定。 i understand this sentence as: It gave his intentions to whatever of decision was wanting before.

应该不一样.

wanting有需要的意思吧?

没有..是稀缺...

我觉得give to 是归因于的意思.如果说以前有决定没做.也是故意的.

感觉这个翻译比较接近原意。



不是太肯定，感觉似乎可以这样看：  It gave to hisintentions whatever (of decision) was wanting before

It 主语
gave 谓语
his intention 间接宾语
whatever 引导直接宾语， 即直接宾语为：  whatever (of decision) was wanting
句子的结构可以看成是：It gave whatever was wanting before to his intentions

另外，似乎也可以这样看： It gave （to hisintentions） whatever (of decision) was wanting before
It 主语
gave 谓语
to his intention 状语
whatever 引导宾语从句， 即宾语为：  whatever (of decision) was wanting
句子的结构可以看成是：To his intentions，it gave whatever  of decision was wanting before.

以前他做任何决定都是从他的目的、意图出发的。

It gave to 个人认为是“取决于”的意思

真是谢谢大家了！爱你们～

未解决！未解决！
want  作“想，要”解析时，是不能以分词形式表达的， 如英文中不能说 He is wanting to read a book.  He was wanting to finish the job.只能说，He wants to read a book. He wanted to finish the job.  所以，   在此理解成“ 缺乏”是比较恰当的。
