ThemummyisthatofShepenmutwhowasonceasingerintheTempleofThebes.上面那句是新概念英语2册77课原话,意思是：这是曾在底比斯神殿里当过歌手的塞潘姆特的木乃伊.请问能否改成：ThemummyofShepenmutw

Question

The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.
上面那句是新概念英语2册77课原话,意思是：这是曾在底比斯神殿里当过歌手的塞潘姆特的木乃伊.
请问能否改成：The mummy of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.就是说能否把is that去掉.
因为还有一句话：The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C has just had an operation.这句话就没有is that
再请问：应该读成“is that”还是“that of”
我感觉“is that of”放在一起怪怪的.

Answer 1

　　肯定不能啊,如果去掉这个句子就没有谓语了,这是不对的.你看“The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C has just had an operation”的“has just had ”就是这个句子的谓语,英语中每个完整独立的句子都应该有谓语的.个人感觉读成“that of "好一点吧.
