    【分析】復(fù)合句。主句主干為 Washington overcame thestrong opposition。 who 引導(dǎo)的非限定性定語從句修飾Washington，其中 that 引導(dǎo)的從句作 believe 的賓語，after...the Revolutionary War 為時(shí)間狀語。句尾的不定式 to grant... 結(jié)構(gòu)作 overcame 的目的狀語。
    【譯文】在獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭期間，華盛頓目睹了黑人士兵的英勇，他開始相信人人生而平等。于是他不顧親友的強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)，把賦予奴隸自由的決定寫進(jìn)了遺書。
    【點(diǎn)撥】1) overcome 意為“戰(zhàn)勝，克服”，常用的搭配有：overcome difficulty/adversity 戰(zhàn)勝困難/困境;overcome dread 克服恐懼;overcome troubles 踏平坎坷。2) grant sb. sth.意為“授予某人某物”。
