A. 句型语法解析
There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service.
这是一个并列复合句,第一个分句There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives是含有两个定语从句的复合句,第一个定语从句when引导定语从句修饰times,第二个是省略that关系代词的定语从句“we possess to save our lives”修饰的先行词是不定代词everything。
yet作为连词引导的第二个分句是一个简单句作让步状语。
