This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the "creative temperament"—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.8 p/ r8 z* s; q9 G; S

这后半句话的结构实际很好理解，就是定语从句，4 r; T" G+ B* @

" U4 |- E4 N6 T7 k6 n& A首先such as可以去掉而不改变句意，写作 ... it was an extradinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness I have never found in any other person...
0 U% w% Q6 o" N, ^# Y, P4 l- K在此基础上可以加个which，... a romantic readiness which I have never found in any other person...9 G# X5 C- J0 W* N1 n4 y. p
但现在作者想加上一个such，这在语义上起到提升语气的作用，也可以呼应前半句的内容，相当于汉语思维中的 “如此的什么什么”，等同于在说 I have never found such a romantic readiness in any other person.% j0 v5 i% u% R4 r, C% M
转述成定语从句的时候就成了 ... a romantic readiness SUCH WHICH I have never found* ( y/ E x; n4 \" T
但这里的which前面只能是介词，比如 a house IN which I live, 不能是such which。

最后半句中的which也是定语从句，which是find的宾语，which的先行词是readiness。

后半句在语法上成立，却不符合英语的表达习惯，像这种两个并列的定语从句，为了表述清晰，通常会在第二个分句加上引导词作为“路标”，告诉读者这是接在前面哪里的，

Trump began today's briefing nonchalantly as usual, saying he was taking Hydroxychloroquine to stave off covid-19, and that the Administration was contacting drug manufacturers of other countries in an attempt to mass produce this medicine for widespread use in America.0 k. i2 w( l( a+ f3 v

最后，it作为形式主语放在句首的写法更符合英语思维。
