1.Because aggressive individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, whatever genes are linked to aggressive behavior are more likely to be transmitted to subsequent generations. 请问“whatever genes are linked to aggressive behavior are ...” 在语法上该如何分析,为什么有两个 are ?
2. In the steam-engine analogy, verbal aggression may vent some of the aggressvie steam. So might cheering on one's favorite sports team. 请问“So might cheering on one's favorite sports team. ” 这句话在语法上应该如何分析?
3. For example, they assume that other people mean them harm when they do not. 请问“mean them harm” 在语法上应该如何分析?
谢谢!
谢谢您的回答,还有一个小小的疑问,第一句中的
“whatever genes are linked to aggressive behavior”= any genes that are linked to aggressive behavior,是这样子的吧? 倘若在原句中加个"that" 变成 “whatever genes that are linked to aggressive behavior ......” 这样子是不是在语法上就错误了呢?
1. whatever genes are linked to aggressive behavior 在意思上等于 any genes that are linked to aggressive behavior,
2. 如果变成 whatever genes that are linked to aggressive behavior... ,由于 whatever = any genes that,二者置换以后,句子就变成 (any genes that)that are linked to aggressive behavior。也就是说倘若在原句中加 that, 势必会存在一个暗含的的 that 和一个多余的 that,出现了重复错误。

是的,错的。名词性从句中的what本身包括了that, 所以what you said= the words that you said.
what that you said是错的。
whatever genes are linked...= any genes that are linked...,
你的写法在语法上是错误的。
