To

ourleft,snow-covered

that

seemalmostcloseenoughtotouch.

本句是一個主從復(fù)合句。主句是：snow-covered

mountainsdisappearintoclouds.

從句that

seemalmostcloseenoughtotouch

是關(guān)系代詞that引導(dǎo)的定語從句。that連接主從句，代指先行詞clouds并在從句中作主語，不能省略。enough可以用做形容詞，副詞。在句中作副詞，用于修飾形容詞close，置于被修飾詞之后，其后常接for短語，todo短語或forsb.todo...結(jié)構(gòu)。Paragraph1：重點句型分析

Thisiswhy

Tibetanantelopes.這是一個主從復(fù)合句，從句是why引導(dǎo)的表語從句。類似句式還有：Thatiswhy+句子知識擴(kuò)展：That/This/Itisbecause+句子
