法制讲堂
1. The problem is saving your dowry would break up the estate.
解析：这是一个含有表语从句的复合句。主句是：The problem is，比表语从句是saving your dowry would break up the estate。
（1）表语从句中是用动名词短语——saving your dowry做主语。
（2）表语从句在语气上使用了虚拟语气，这个是伯爵遗孀的推测和假设，非真实情况。
2. There's nothing we can do about the title.
解析：这是含有定语从句的复合句。主句是——there is nothing，从句是we can do about the title。
从句修饰句中的先行词nothing，是不定代词。这个不定代词指代事件，那么供选择的关系代词which和that中只能用that，不能用which。由于关系代词做宾语，就省略了。
3. I didn't run Downton for 30 years to see it go, lock, stock and barrel to a stranger from God knows where.
解析：这个句子是个否定句，使用了否定前置。这个否定是在动词不定式的see，但是如果宾语从句中或者是动词不定式中有see这个词的话，否定就在主句的谓语中，和think这个词的用法一样。
4. Are we to be friends, then?
解析：这句话的谓语结构采用的是be+动词不定式，表示将来的情况。
5. We are allies, my dear. which can be a good deal more effective.
解析：which can be a good deal more effective这是非限定性定语从句，补充说明全面说到的we are allies的益处是什么，which是引导词，指代前面说到的情况——我们是同盟者。
在定语从句中a good deal作为副词性短语用，有副词的功能，在这里修饰形容词比较级more effective。
牛人口语
1. 情景：我们作为荣誉很高的人，一点点生活中小小的瑕疵就会让媒体炒作得火热，这时候，我们会由衷地感概到：这小小的东西毁了我用一生的精力而换来的荣誉。这个感慨可以套用下面这个句型：
It is the ruin of everything sb. has give his life to.
源于台词： It would be the ruin of everything Robert's given his life to.
2. 情景：以前，看到别人的孩子饿得老是哭，我们看起来很心酸，可是由于自己也是只能勉强糊口，养活自己家的孩子就不错了。虽然我们有一颗同情心，但是这时候，我们也哀声叹气，无能为力。那么某人对某事无能为力的表述就套用下面这个句型：
There's nothing we can do about something.
源于台词：There's nothing we can do about the title.
3. 情景：我们的加被耗了，东西被偷走了，我们经常在嘴边说：“不知哪门子的人来偷的”。这个表述就套用下面这个句子：
They are those who is from God knows where.
源于台词：I didn't run Downton for 30 years to see it go, lock, stock and barrel to a stranger from God knows where.
