難句突破:

(1) The haunting paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck, on show in the final leg of a travelling tour that has already attracted thousands of visitors in Hamburg and The Hague, may come as a surprise to many.

[主體句式] The haunting paintings may come as a surprise to many.

[結構分析] 這是一個簡單句，主語有一個比較復雜的介詞短語做定語on show...，在這個介詞短語中，充當狀語的介詞短語中介詞的賓語帶有以that引導的定語從句。

[句子譯文] 海琳·Schjerfbeck那些讓人不易忘懷的畫在這次巡展最后的展出將會給人帶來許多驚喜，而其實這次巡展已經吸引了漢堡和海牙成千上萬的游客。

(2)To a modern eye it seems almost sentimental and is redeemed only by the somewhat stunned, melancholy expression on the child's face, which may have been inspired by Schjerfbeck's early experiences.

[主體句式] It seems almost sentimental and is redeemed only by ...

[結構分析] 這是一個并列句，第二個分句的狀語比較復雜，介詞短語的賓語expression帶有一個由which引導的非限定性定語從句。

[句子譯文]  一個現代人看來這幅畫仿佛是感傷的，只有孩子有點發呆、憂郁的表情算是一點緩和。這可能是Schjerfbeck小時候的經歷觸發而創作的。
