「성문 영어 구문 100」에 나온 유사관계대명사 구문 해석이 어려워 질문드려요.
1. There is Something solemn and awful in the thought that there is not an act done or a word uttered by a human being but carries with it a train of consequences, the end of which we may never trace.
* train of consequences = 일련의 결과
2. I had almost no interest in trying to make more money than was needed to keep myself clothed, fed, warm, and clean, to perform such small acts of charity or present-giving and make such modest returns of hospitality as might be possible for a poor bachelor.
* charity = 자선
* return = 보답
특히 두 번째 문장에서 표시한 부분이 무엇과 병렬인지 잘 모르겠어요.
답지 해석은 있지만 어떤 순서로 분석해야 할지 감이 오지 않습니다.
