1. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign that people are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition going on,” says Baum, co-author of a recent College Report that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based on need. (2009. 阅读. Text A)

【译文】鲍姆认为,哈密顿和其他人最近的决定可能就是“一种迹象表明人们开始意识到存在一种破坏性竞争”。他是最近一项大学调查报告的组织者之一,这项报告引发了人们对并非基于需要的制度性经济援助的关心。

【析句】复合句。主干是Baum says+宾语从句,也就是Baum说话的内容。宾语从句的主句是Recent decisions may be "a sign that are starting to realize that there is this destructive competition...", 引号内包含两个从句,that引导定语从句修饰a sign, realize后是that引导的宾语从句。最后,co-author of a recent College Report作Baum的同位语,that raises concerns about...是College Report的定语从句。

2. “No one can take one-sided action,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss how they could jointly reduce merit aid. (2009. 阅读. Text A)

【译文】"任何人都不能采取单方面的行动。"莱尔德说,他正在研究是否有必要寻求获得联邦反托拉斯法的豁免权,这样一来,其成员大学就可以探讨如何共同削减奖学金支出。【析句】例句二和例句一结构相似:主句Laird says且倒装,引号内是说话的内容,作宾语从句且置于句首。主句后,who is exploring whether to...作定语从句,whether to...作exploring的宾语,而最后so member colleges can discuss how they could reduce merit aid是exploring动作的结果,discuss后是how引导的宾语从句。

3. A complicating factor is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’t qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. (2009. 阅读. Text A)

【译文】一个复杂因素就是,奖学金深受不符合助学金申请条件的中层收入家庭的欢迎,甚至许多家庭都依靠它。

【析句】复合句。主句Acomplicating factor is that引导表语从句。表语从句中,主句是merit aid become so popular with middle-income families that many have come to depend on it,包含固定短语so...that+从句,意为“太……以至于……”,句中插入了who引导的定语从句。

1. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see. (2009. 阅读. Text 1)

of ...woman的定语从句。

2. When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face; Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old prov ost of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America. (2009. 阅读. Text 2)

【译文】2009年秋季毕业的高中生进入牛津大学时,他们会迎来一个新面孔,安德鲁?

汉密尔顿,55岁的前耶鲁大学教务长。他将入主牛津成为副教务长,职位相当于美国大学的校长。

【析句】复合句。首先是when引导的时间状语从句,主句位于句中,they'll be joined by a new face。Andrew Hamilton,the 55-year-old provost of Yale作a new face 的同位语,而同位语后who'll become Oxford's vice-chancellor是它的定语从句,最后a position equivalent to...又作vice-chancellor的同位语。

3. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen“a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.” (2009. 阅读. Text 2)

【译文】2003年,剑桥大学任命前耶鲁大学教务长艾莉森·理查德为副校长。学校公开强调艾莉森之前的工作确保了“耶鲁大学财政状况良好”。

【析句】本例句与例句2结构相似,句首先是when引导的时间状语从句,another former Yale provost作Alison Richard的同位语。主句位于句中,the university stressed that+宾语从句。可以看出,在介绍某人的年龄、职位等情况时多用同位语。

1. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found. (2010. 阅读. Text 1)

【译文】如今,由于诸多问题如犯罪频发、交通拥挤、空地缺乏以及奇怪的关于什么对于孩子最好的新观点——能买到的而不是孩子发现的东西,孩子们被剥夺了这种古老的自由。【析句】复合句。主句children are robbed of these ancient freedoms,due to problems like...odd new perceptions about...这句中,due to作原因状语,like这里是介词。about后what is best for children是about的宾语从句,that is to say作插入语,最后有两个that引导的定语从句修饰things并由rather than连接。

【译文】李认为,越往象牙塔的高处走,薪酬就降得越明显。但是,由于大学需要大量行业经验丰富的研究人员,这就迫使学校提高转向大学做学术的吸引力。

【析句】主句的主干是the demand for scientists... is forcing universities to make..., 具体说来,with a wealth of experience..作伴随状语。这个句子难理解的部分在前面,Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is more significant, 要注意the ladder不是生活中的“梯子”,在这里含有指代意义,尤其指代职场上职位、地位的高低。higher up the ladder在结构上是形容词短语作伴随,并且还有where引导的非限制性定语从句修饰。

3. They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain. (2011. 阅读. Text 1)

【译文】他们不会去找腌肉或有机产品,也不会在意菜肴摆放是否漂亮,他们只会寻找任何能得到的食物。这种数量优于质量的做法持续了好几十年,这意味着这一代人所吃的食物是无法与邻近的法国、意大利、比利时或是西班牙相提并论的。

【析句】整句话有两个分句组成,重点在后一分句。主干由and连接两个句子组成,前句they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, 有两点需要注意:一是whatever引导for的宾语从句,二是短语get one's hands on意为“得到某物”;后句and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades,抽象名词prioritisaton作主语,后面是meaning现在分词作伴随,meaning后有宾语从句a generation was brought up with food ,并且food后是that引导的定语从句。

1. Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the

【译文】据由联合国前秘书长安南领导的全球人道主义论坛提出的一项报道称,如今全球变暖每年导致30万人死亡以及价值约一万两千五百亿美元的经济损失。

【析句】主句是Global warming is causing...deaths and...losses, 简单句。我们重点看一下后面的修饰部分,according to为复合介词,a report为介词宾语,an organization led by Annan作the Global Humanitarian Forum的同位语,句末的the former UN secretary又作Annan的同位语。

2. Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was

"a methodological embarrassment" because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable regions. (2011. 阅读. Text 2)

【译文】在科罗拉多大学波尔德分校研究灾难规律的政治科学家Roger Pielke Jr.称人道主义论坛的这项报告是“一个方法论上的难题”,因为没有办法区分是与人为因素有关的全球变暖造成的死亡或经济损失还是弱势地区由于人口和经济增长导致的更大的损失。

【析句】复合句。主干是Roger said +that引导的宾语从句,主语Roger后,a political scientist作同位语,紧随其后的是who studies disaster trends定位从句修饰a political scientist。宾语从句中,主句the Forum's report was "a methodological embarrassment",because引导原因状语从句there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses...amid larger losses...,两个losses后分别有分词作定语修饰。

3. In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. (2011. 阅读. Text 2)

【译文】在这项报告的新闻发布会上,安南强调双方协商的重要性,从而将工作重点放在增加从富裕地区到贫困地区的资金流动以帮助降低贫困地区面对气候灾害的脆弱性,同时继续控制温室气体的排放。

1. The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly, but that is nonetheless the case. (2003. 阅读. 6. Text 2) 【译文】学习中应该包括具有启发性的娱乐这一观点对于大部分学术机构而言似乎是愚蠢的,但事实的确如此。 【析句】本例句的难点在于寻找主句的主干。很明显,主句由but连接两个并列句组成,but 后的句子that is nonetheless the case是简单句。but前的句子主句是the notion would seem merely silly to the greater part of the academic establishment,to在这里作介词,这一介宾结构提前放在了谓语动词seem后,容易让人误以为是短语seem to的用法,结果导致理解失误。最后主句主语the notion有that引导的定语从句修饰。 2.

Text 4) 【译文】海德堡大学应用物理系正在研究的高水平新型隐形眼镜不仅能矫正普通的视力问题,还能把正常夜间视力提高五倍,使人的视力比猫还要敏锐。 【析句】复合句。主句是A new high-performance contact lens will not only correct ordinary vision defects but will enhance normal night vision, 可以看出,主句的主干是not only...but(also)结构连接前后两个并列句,contanct lens后有几个介词短语点明了研究的地点。最后,making people's vision...是现在分词引导结果状语。

破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法(最新整理)

破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法 破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法 高考英语阅读理解的文章大都选自英语原版材料,文中含有一些长难句,比较难以理解,对做题会有影响。没关系,看看突破高考英语阅读长难句的5大招,再瞅瞅历年高考长难句精析,10分钟就能教你搞定高考英语中的那些长难句。 英语句子之所以难以理解,有许多原因,其中一个主要原因是句子太长或者句子结构复杂。句子过长或者复杂通常是该句除了主干之外还包含了一些附加部分,如插入语、同位语、分隔现象、各种从句或较长的非谓语动词短语等等。下面我们来谈谈几种英语阅读长难句的处理方法。 方法1:找谓语,定主语 一般情况下,一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者(主语),我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且,如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词,则该句可以是并列句或复合句(并列谓语动词的情况除外)。如:

People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. 【句意】二十一年来,象牙交易一直被明令禁止,人们担心削弱这一禁令会助长非法捕猎,导致大象数量减少。 【分析】that引导宾语从句,从句中谓语动词是encourage 和hurt,根据逻辑意义,可知encourage和hurt 的主语是动名词短语weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory。 方法2:提主干,去枝叶(从句、状语和定语等) 一般情况下,一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息,从句、状语和定语等所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来,就不能完全把握句子的核心意义,从而导致思维混乱,主次不分。如: Economists from the University of Sussex analysed findings

英语四级考试复杂长难句分析(二) 导读:本文英语四级考试复杂长难句分析(二),仅供参考,如果觉得很不错,欢迎点评和分享。 第一章并列平行结构(二) 英语句子最常用的方法是通过使用一些关联词,如and、or等,或标点符号如:分号,逗号,破折号等,若干个在语义上有联系或相互照应的单词、词组或子句连在一起组成一种并列或平行结构的长句,以表达一个复杂得多层次含义。这种句式虽然难度不一定很高,但在复杂长句中还是占了相当大的比例的. 1. More than three million people live in inner London,and nearly five million people live in the surrounding suburban area,which is made up of formerly separate villages that have merged to form what is now called outer London. 要点:全句为并列复合句。“and”连接并列句。第二个句子是主从复合句。“which”引出非限制性定语从句,修饰“area”。“that”引出限制性定语从句,修饰“villages”。“what”引出名词从句,作“from”的宾语。 参考译文:三百多万人口居住在伦敦市区,将近五百多万人口居住在周围的郊区——该地区由原来分散的村庄构成,逐步形成如今被称为的外伦敦。 2. Then I remembered how often I,too,had been indifferent to the grander of each day,too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the splendor of it all. 要点:此句存在着一个“too…to…”结构,即“too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the splendor of it all”。注意:“I,too,had

For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travellers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. (1990. 阅读. Text 1) 【译文】除了早期漂洋过海的旅行者或靠海谋生的人之外,对大多数人来说,大海是遥远的,没有必要提出太多问题,更别说思考大海海底的东西了。 【析句】复合句,本句主干为the sea was remote and there was little reason to...,and连接两个并列句子,两个句子之间又有with the exception of...作伴随状语,伴随状语中又包含who earned a living from the sea定语从句修饰others。最后是习惯let alone...,注意let alone后的动词形式与前面主句动词形式相同。 2.

(1990. 阅读.

At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.

高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧

高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技 巧 高考英语考试的关键在与理解,很多学生在长难句理解方面有所欠缺,下面就是给大家带来的高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧,希望大家喜欢! 一、处理长难句的原则方法 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的单句,可这样处理:跳读修饰成分,迅速找出主谓结构。这样一来,我们便可以将长句化为短句,将难句化为易句。具体步骤是:先跳读修饰成分或附加成分,找出句子的主干并理解其意义;然后再分段理解修饰成分或附加成分。 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的并列句,可这样处理:先找出其中的并列连词,然后再根据并列连词的意思理清句子前后是顺连关系还是反连关系,是因果关系还是转折关系等,最后再根据不同的语境关系正确理解句意。 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的主从复合句,可这样处理:先分清主句与从句,然后弄清从句的性质,即弄清它是什么

从句——名词性从句,还是状语从句,或是定语从句。注意,弄清从句性质对于理解复合句的意思至关重要。 另外,有一点要提醒同学们,在处理长难句时,如果既能正确理解句意,又能将其准确地译成中文,那是最好了。但是,对于有些长难句,要在较短时间内(如在参加考试时)将其译成中文比较困难,此时只要能正确理解其意思就行了,如果硬要勉为其难地译成中文,不仅会浪费时间,而且在许多情况也没有必要。 二、经典高考真题实例分析 下面这篇*共有194个单词,却只有9个句子,平均每个句子大约有22个单词,是近几年高考英语阅读理解中一篇比较典型的集中含有长难句的*。*内容如下: Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral(葡萄牙海军上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred. Coming in a close second——and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant island——is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles

高中英语阅读英语长难句分析方法

高中英语阅读英语长难句分析方法 在阅读中,我们经常会遇到一些长而难的句子。长难句通常含有较多、较长的修饰成分、并列成分或从句。长难句的丰富内容和复杂结构往往会导致理解的困难。理解长难句的关键是了解长难句的类型,理清句子成分,抓住句子中的关键部分。 一、长难句的分类 1、带有较多成分的简单句。如: Having chosen family television programs and women’s magazines,the toothpaste marketer,for instance,must select the exact television programs and stations as well as the specific women’s magazines to be used. 例如,决定选择家庭电视节目和妇女杂志后,牙膏经销商还必须挑选出要用的确切的电视节目和电视台,以及那些具体的妇女杂志。 在这个有30多个词的简单句中,动词-ing形式短语用作时间状语,不定式to be used修饰的不仅是women’s magazine,而且还修饰television programs and stations. exact television同时修饰programs和stations两个词,这在翻译中可以看出来。插入语for instance把主语和谓语分隔开了。 2、含有多个简单句的并列句。如: In the 1970s he was a surgeon at Yale,had a wonderful wife and five beautiful children,but he was terribly unhappy.在20世纪70年代,他在耶鲁当外科医生,有位出色的太太和5个漂亮的孩子,但他那时过得却很不开心。 在第二个并列句中,即在had前面省略了and he. Discrimination(歧视) isn’t their only concern;almost everyone testing positive for the Huntington’s gene(基因) develops symptoms(症状) during middle age, and doctors can do nothing to help. 担心受到歧视并不是他们唯一的忧虑,几乎所有遗传性亨廷顿病基因检测呈阳性的人在中年时症状都会显现出来,而医生对此却无能为力。 三个分句均为简单句,分别用分号和and连接。 3、含有多个从句的复合句。如: I can’t live in fear of the possibility that as the earth’s population grows and we use more and more of our nonrenewable(不能再生的) resources,our

[简析]此句中的谓语形式的动词及其对应的主语有:was opposed-he,ordered-he,(should)not be used-federal-funds,had proposed-no one,asked-he(asked前面有and,说明asked 与前面某个谓语动词并列,根据逻辑意义asked应与ordered并列)。这一句的主干为“he ordered...and asked...”,“Declaring that...”作状语。句意:他宣布自己反对使用这种非同寻常的畜牧繁殖技术来克隆人类,并下令不准联邦政府基金用于做此类试验——尽管还没有人建议这么做——他还请一个普林斯顿大学校长Harold Shapiro为首的独立专家组在90天内向白宫汇报关于制定有关克隆人的国家政策的建议。 二、提主干,去枝叶(从句等) 一般情况下,一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息,从句所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来,就不能完全把握句子的核心意义,从而导致思维混乱,主次不分。如:First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Format in the 17th century,the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds,including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem,and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Eco-lab Polytechnique. [简析]本句夹杂分词短语、动名词及两个定语从句。“First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Format in the 17th century”为过去分词短语作状语;“including...”为介词短语作状语;“who made...and who had to...”为两个并列的定语从句,修饰a French woman scientist。所以句子的主干为the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds此为主要信息。句意:这个定理,先是由十七世纪法国数学家Pierre de Format提出,曾使一批杰出的数学大师为难,其中包括一个法国女科学家,她在解决这个难题方面取得了重大的进展。为了能够在Ecolab Polytechnipue理工学院学习她曾女扮男装。 三、寻关联,辨逻辑 一些长句其实是由若干分句组成的并列句或复合句。而这些并列句或复合句之间需要一些关联词来连接。如果我们找准这些关联词,就能够分辨出句与句之间的逻辑关系,分别弄清主句的意义和从句的意义,则长句就容易对付得多了。要掌握此方法必须对英语中的常见的关联词谙熟于心。Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to 精品文档

英语四级阅读长难句句子结构分析(16)

英语四级阅读长难句句子结构分析(16) 分词和从句 分词(包括现在分词和过去分词)和分词短语在英语中使用非常 普遍,在句子中可以充当补语,定语,状语等成分。在成分复杂的句子中,有时分词的出现易同谓语动词的被动式或者进行时搞混,造成句子主干的判断错误。带有自己主语的分词独立结构由于同非限制性定语从句和插入语一样需要逗号同句子的其他成分分开,因此常会误认为是非限制性定语或插入语。有些从句,尤其是定语从句,其形式变化很多,在句子中也易同其他句子成分混淆。 Excrise Someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more congnitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind. When building space on the ground becomes scarce use must be made of the space in the air. When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. 要点:句首的someone后有介词短语with a history of doing more rather than less 对其进行修饰。第二个someone后有一个定语从句

英语四级阅读长难句句子结构分析

英语四级阅读长难句句子结构分析 英语四级阅读中有些长难句非常难理解,其实理解英语四级阅读长难句的最好方法就是学会分析句子的结构,下面一起来学习一下英语四级阅读长难句句子结构分析,希望对各位有所帮助。 Exercise I plan to see her soon in England, though not, she reminded me, again at 10 Downing Street. The cessation of the employment of extraordinary means to prolong the life of the body when there is irrefutable evidence that biological death is imminent is the decision of the patient and/or her immediate family. With rock,illusion of shared feelings, bodily contact and grunted formulas, which are supposed to contain so much meaning beyond the speech, are the basis of association. 要点:让步状语though not again at 10 Downing Street 被插入语she reminded me所分隔。而且该让步状语是一个省略的结构,全句应为though(it will) not(be)again at 10 Downing Street. 还应看出让步状语所转达的意思正是插入语的宾语所要转达的意思。she reminded me (it will not be again at 10 Downing Street)。省略和插入的使用使全句的意思得以很好地衔接连贯、结构紧凑,无多余的成分。 参考译文:我打算不久和她在英国见面,不过她提醒我地点不再是唐宁街十号了。 要点:此句话的主谓被很长一段定语成分所分隔,句子主干应是“The cessation...is the decision of the patient and/or her immediate family”,由于主干中的is前没有逗号分开,而且前面又出现了一个is imminent,还由于同主语The cessation拉开的距离太远,所以不容易很快找到。When前面的部分如果不注意很容易错误地理解为一个句子,即“The cessation...means to prolong the life of body.”实际上means是个名词,意为“方法,手段”,不是动词“意味着”。而且means前面有个形容词extraordinary作定语,不可能是动词,尽管意思上说得通。when引导的状语从句里带了一个定语从句that biological death is imminent,它们一起插入了主语和谓语之间。把means错当动词和状语带定语的插入使得整句的结构复杂化了,致使主干句的主谓不容易看出来。 参考译文:在有不可反驳的证据表明病人即将进入生理死亡时,停止采取非常措施来延长其生命应该由病人和(或)其直系亲属来作出决定。
