To a queen who liked being surrounded with lookers and was capable of dismissing those she thought physically unpleasing, this mattered a lot.
结构剖析:这个句子就是一个简单句,主语是this,谓语为mattered,a lot是副词性短语做状语修饰谓语matter,而to a queen who liked being surrounded with lookers and was capable of dismissing those she thought physically unpleasing是介词短语做状语,表示对象。
在介词短语中含有一个定语从句:who liked being surrounded with lookers and was capable of dismissing those she thought physically unpleasing。
这个定语从句又是有并列连词and连接的一个并列句。一个是:who liked being surrounded with lookers,一个是:was capable of dismissing those she thought physically unpleasing,第二分句中和第一个分句公用一个引导词who,它们共同修饰先行词queen。
在第二个分句中又含有一个定语从句:she thought physically unpleasing。它修饰先行词those。注意这个先行词是一个特殊的词——those。当先行词为those的时候,在句子中做主语,指代人,修饰它的定语从句的引导词或者说是关系代词一定是who,不能用that,由于是做宾语,这里省略了that。
