七、what we call句型作插入结构

似的句型还有：what we used to call, what is called, what they described as, what can be called, what they regarded as, as we call it, as we know it等。通常翻译为“所谓的…”，可以按照英语原文顺序直接翻译。

He is what we call a walking dictionary.他就是所谓的活字典。

Most of what they regarded as geniuses are successful only because they have made extraordinary effort.大部分所谓的天才是由于付出了非凡的努力才获得成功的。
