一、这是并列复合句
第一分句:Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers. 其中:
主句:Sam was sure
that 引导的从句:that the wallet must have been found by one of the villagers,
第二分句:but it wasn't returned to him.
二、“be + 形容词”构成的系表结构的复合谓语,其后可以带有 that 引导的从句。这种从句的语法成分在目前有几种权威说法:
一说是原因状语,即说明表语形容词产生的原因(薄冰);
一说是形容词补足语,即进一步说明表语形容词这种状态的具体含义(李基安);
一说是宾语,即把系表结构视作一个及物动词,后面带的是宾语从句。无论哪种说法,都有一定的道理,初学时不必较劲,明白道理足矣(张道真)。
举例如下;
I am afraid (that) I'll be late. 我恐怕要迟到了。
He was very sorry (that) you had not written to him for long. 他对用很久没有给她写信深表遗憾。
I am sure (that) he is right. 我肯定他是对的。
