Sheaddedthatitwasn’tonlythewaterfallingontotheirbalconyfromSmithwateringhisplantsthatbotheredthem,butalsothewayhecleanedhisfishtanks.

【分析】本句為復合句。Sheadded是

句,第一個that引導added的

；包含由“notonly...butalso...”引導的并列句，第一個并列分句是由“itwas...that...”

構成的

句，強調了句子主語，其中fallingontotheirbalconyfromSmithwateringhisplants作thewater的

,與邏輯主語是

關系；第二個并列分句中hecleanedhisfishtanks是省略that的______從句，修飾theway,其后省略了botheredthem(V+O)。主賓語從句強調后置定語主動定語她還說，困擾他們的不僅是史密斯給植物澆水時灑到陽臺上的水，還有他清理魚缸的方式?！癢e’dbesittingtherehappilyreading
