问题描述
▲It was a small love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a schoolgirl's scrawls about her dream guy. All that was missing was a drawing of a heart with the names John and Janet written in it. 中的<主语从句> All that was missing，没看懂。请专家 Beachy 能解释一下吗？
老师答疑
波老师：
▲It was a small love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a schoolgirl's scrawls about her dream guy. All that was missing was a drawing of a heart with the names John and Janet written in it.
▲句中的 All that was missing 并非主语从句，其实此句真正的主语是 all，that was missing 是修饰 all 的定语从句，意思是“缺少的是……”。all that 在此相当于 what，或相当于the thing that。句末的 with the names John and Janet written in it 是 with 复合结构，作定语，修饰 a drawing of a heart。
▲全句大意：那是珍妮特写的一封小情书，是一名女生潦潦草草写给她的梦中情人的小情书，只差没在上面画一颗写有约翰和珍妮特名字的心形图案。
陈老师：
请问：主语从句 All that was missing 中的 that，是代替 The note 的吗？
黎老师：
是的。
张老师：
我认为that这个关系代词很显然代替先行词all， 而all虽然与note 有联系，但是并非完全指代该词，而是指note上的内容。All that was missing = All thing in the note was missing意思：纸条上所缺失的（东西）只是/ 仅仅是。还要特别注意：此时与单名连用的all往往含有【言其少】之意。“纸条上唯一所缺失的是……” All that you need to do is put up your phone call. 你唯一须做的仅仅是拿起电话。
