标题[文法] around which
时间Sat Sep 30 22:04:39 2017
大家好，想请教两个问题：
-----------
1.
'Finding Meaning'. Actually, there is nothing especially important in
recognizing or inferring a topic sentence for its own sake. The important
thing is that the reader use the topic sentence as a quick means of
establishing a focal point around which to cluster the meanings of the
subsequent words and sentences that he or she reads. Here's the double-edged
sword again: just as writers use topic sentences to provide focus and
structure for presenting their meaning, so the perceptive reader can use the
topic sentence for focus and structure to gain meaning.

上述内容出自 six-way paragraphs前言第八页，想问的是这句当中around which的用法
The important thing is that the reader use the topic sentence as a quick
means of establishing a focal point around which to cluster the meanings of
the subsequent words and sentences that he or she reads.

which後面不是应该接一个子句吗？但这里却是接不定词片语？我将其还原如下：
1. a focal point
2. to cluster the meanings of the subsequent words and sentences that he or
she reads around the focal point
请问这样理解对吗？因为没有看过which後面是接不定词片语的。

2.
Finally, a paragraph may not have a topic sentence in it at all. Some writers
purposely leave out such sentences. But, in such cases, inferring a topic
sentence may not be as difficult as it may first appear. Here's why. Many
such professional writers actually do write topic sentences, but on separate
scraps of paper. They then place one of the scraps at the head of a sheet and
use the topic sentence to guide their thoughts in the construction of the
paragraph. With the paragraph written and the topic sentence having served
its purpose, the scrap is discarded. The end result is a paragraph without a
visible topic sentence, but the paragraph, nonetheless, has embedded in it
all the clues that an alert reader needs for making an accurate inference.

出自前言第七页。
想请教，这里第一行说：「一个段落里头可能完全没有主题句」，但马上又接着说：
「但在这类情况里，想推论出主题句，可能不像它第一次出现那样困难」，
这样讲不是前後矛盾吗？既然没有主题句，又怎麽推论得出来？（顶多只能说主题句的意
思隐含在某些句子里吧？）如果没有主题句，又怎麽会有「第一次出现」呢？
（还是说它的意思是，第一次有主题句，後来就隐藏在某些句子里了？）
以上请教，谢谢！
