考研英语长难句30-38

30. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution of universe and life. 解析:该句的主干是The goal … will be to try to explain...,explain后接的是双宾语,即explain to sb. sth.,直接宾语是that引导的从句。该从句的主干是there are not two theories for...,其中origin和evolution,universe和life都是and连接的并列名词。 词汇:unenlightened adj. 无知的,不文明的 valid adj.有效的 evolution n. 进化,发展 译文:所有(这些书)的目的是试图告诉那些迷惑不解且常常头脑不开化的普通百姓:就宇宙和生命的起源与发展问题而言,不可能存在两种同样成立的科学理论。 31. While warnings are often appropriate and necessary — the dangers of drug interactions, for example—and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. 【分析】在这个主从复合句中,while引导的从句由两个部分组成,中间用and 连接。破折号之间的部分是举例说明warnings的内容,做为插入语。注意:many are required by state or federal regulations中的many是指many warnings。it isn't clear … is injured是主句,主句用了一个形式主语it,真正的主语是that引导的 从句,they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability是主体,之后是一个if引导的条件从句。 【词汇】interaction 相互作用 federal 联邦 regulation法规 protect…from…保护…以免 liability 责任(be liable for对…负责) 【译文】尽管警告常常是适当而且必须的——比如对于药物相互作用的危险提 出警告——许多警告还是按州或联邦政府规定要求给出的,然而(我们) 并不清楚,如果顾客受到伤害时,这些警告是不是确实可以使得生产者和销售者豁免责任。 32.

英语长难句70句分析

如何掌握长难句 复杂长句是考研阅读理解短文的最显著特点之一,是文章语言难度所在,也是命题者常常出题之处。因此具备较好的剖析复杂长句的能力,对于考研阅读理解至关重要。复杂长句典型的特点是,多个语法现象或特殊句式同时出现在一个较长的句子中,使句子修饰词很多,句中套句,成分中套成分,从而造成考生对其准确意义的理解困难。 对于复杂长句,不管其结构多么复杂多变、盘根错节,只要把握住句子结构的主脉络抓住句子的关键词和关键信息,再根据自己所掌握的各种语法知识及一些特殊句式的构成规律,就可理清头绪,找到思路。由于复杂长句很难理解,考生在平时阅读时应多加练习。 下面分8类总结了最典型的70句真题长难句,希望考生复习时能多揣摩,如能将其中英文全部背熟,长难句肯定过关。 第一节比较结构 1.There are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy—far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone. 【参考译文】现在已有一些机器人系统能够进行精确到毫米以下的脑部和骨骼手术---这要比极具技巧的医生单单用手精确得多。 2.I have discovered,as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress,that abandoning the doctr ine of “juggling your life”,and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. 【参考译文】或许正像凯尔西在不堪积劳重负而公开地辞去她在《她》杂志社的编辑一职之后—样,我已经发现,放弃那种“为生活忙碌”的人生信条并转而追求比较悠闲的生活带给你的回报远远大于经济成功和社会地位。 3.While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline—after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late’80s—and is still linked to the politics of thrift,in Britain,at least among the middle-class down shifters of my acquaintance,we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives. 【参考译文】在美国,这一返朴趋势是以经济衰落的反应为开始的---那是在80年代末期裁员而引起大量的失业之后---现在依然与提倡节俭的政纲相关;而在英国,最起码在我所熟识的中产阶级返朴归隐者中,追求简约生活的原因就多种多样了。

英语长难句的翻译

英语长难句的翻译 1.英语句子的扩展 英语长难句翻译是翻译中极为重要的课题,有志于翻译的工作者必须潜心学习与研究长难句翻译的各种手段,做到心中有数,才能在实际的翻译中运用自如。 所谓难句就是难译的句子,难句不是语法上的概念,而是翻译上的概念。难句一般都是含有几个错综复杂关系的复杂句;少数是难用汉语表达的简单句,但本节只讨论较长的难句的翻译。我们知道英语句子不管多长,变化多么错综复杂,它都是基本句型的扩展和变化。其扩展与变化的方式可以简要归纳如下: (1)增加句子的修饰语:定语或状语。 (2)增加并列成分(并列主语、并列谓语、并列宾语、并列定语或并列状语)或并列句。 (3)增加附加成分:插入语、同位语划独立成分。 (4)出现倒装和省略现象。 (5)增加由短语或多级短语充当的成分。 (6)增加由从句和多级从句充当的句子成分。 2.英语长难句分析的步骤 (1)结合具体语言环境了解全句大意。 (2)剖析全句,分清主要成分和次要成分,主句和从句。 (3)紧缩主干,确定句子的主、谓语,找出句子的基本构架,以其所属句型。 (4)疏通脉络,清理枝蔓,分清主关系,注意上下层次,前后引衬及其逻辑关系。 翻译的整个过程分为两步—理解与表达。还要注意下面几点: (1)按汉语造句的规律,进行选词和语序的调整。 (2)反复研究译文,进行词句锤炼的润饰工夫,最后定稿。 3.英汉句子结构的主要差异 英语在一个句子里往往先说个人感受,再说产生个人感受的原因,汉语则相反,往往按照事情发生的顺序来叙述,最后才说个人的感受。也就是说英汉句子的论理逻辑与叙述逻辑不同。英语往往先讲结果后讲原因,汉语则先说原因,后说结果。 还要认识英汉的主要特点: 英语特点:重形合。爱用关系词;惯用介词表动作;没有固定时序,即英语造句时常打破时间顺序;名词用得多; 代词用得多;主语出现多,等等。 汉语特点:重意合。爱用动词;不爱用关系词;爱用由远及近的时序;实词用得多;主语能免就免,等等。 英语长句虽然结构复杂,但描写细致,逻辑严谨。汉语句子则结构弹性大,简短轻快,先后有序,眉目清楚,节奏感强。 因此,英译汉时,首先要透彻理解原文,抓住句子的中心思想,上下文关系,弄清主次,然后按汉语动词动作的时间顺序或逻辑顺序,重新加以组合。这样,就不会拘泥于原文的语言形式,使译文生硬难读。 1)顺序译法;2)逆序法;3)分句译法;4)综合译法。在实际翻译中,往往需要同时并用几种方法。因为一个句子中往往有多种语言现象交错出现。翻译长句是一种难度较高的综合技能。至于翻译手段的取舍,应取决于要求序文的效果。 (1)顺序译法 有些英语长句所叙述的一连串动作基本上是按动作发生的时间先后安排,也有些英语长句的内容是按逻辑关系安排,这与汉语表达方法比较一致。因此翻译时,一般可按照原文顺序译

The American economic system is, organized around a basically private-enterprise, marketoriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. [参考译文] 美国的经济是以基本的私有企业和市场导向经济为架构的,在这种经济中,消费者很大程度上通过在市场上为那些他们最想要的货品和服务付费来决定什么应该被制造出来。 2. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it. [参考译文] 因此,在美国的经济体系中,个体消费者的需求与商人试图最大化其利润的欲望和个人想最大化其收入效用的欲望相结合,一起决定了什么应该被制造,以及资源如何被用来制造它们。 3.

2013年考研英语长难句翻译六大技巧

2012年考研英语长难句翻译六大技巧 2012年的英语考研大纲与2011年的相比没有大变化。阅读理解部分的翻译仍是一块分量很重的考察内容。其实掌握了翻译的解题技巧,翻译就成了最好拿分的一个题型。因为翻译题型主要考察两点:词汇和长难句。而翻译题型的词汇一般是认识的,最主要的一点就是碰到最难翻译的长句该怎么办? 从近些年的真题中,我们发现命题者有一个非常清楚的或者非常明显的趋势和导向,就是对于比较复杂的句子结构和文章考察的比重加大。这个体现在各个部分的题型当中,尤其以英译汉部分最为明显。所以想要抓住获得高分的“核心竞争力”就要着重提高对文章长难句和段落逻辑结构的把握上,再加上一定的应试技巧和策略,才能在考研英语中取得高分。万学海文提醒大家要特别注意英语和汉语之间的差异,将英语的长句分解翻译成汉语的短句,这样翻译做起来就容易得分多了。 在英语长句的翻译过程中,下面六个技巧可以发挥很大的作用: (1) 逆序法 英语有些长句的表达次序与汉语表达习惯不同,甚至完全相反,这时必须从原文后面开始翻译。在汉语中,定语修饰语和状语修饰语往往位于被修饰语之前;在英语中,许多修饰语常常位于被修饰语之后,因此翻译时往往要把原文的语序颠倒过来。倒置法通常用于英译汉,即对英语长句按照汉语的习惯表达法进行前后调换,按意群或进行全部倒置,原则是使汉语译句符合现代汉语论理叙事的一般逻辑顺序。 例如: It therefore becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice。

2018考研英语冲刺之长难句翻译赏析

2018考研英语冲刺之长难句翻译赏析 所谓长难句,就是指句子中有着复杂的结构和一些生僻名词或者熟词僻意词汇,句子本身较长,结构复杂,理解有难度,试想,如果句子中的词汇不是很熟悉,一定会对理解造成一定的影响,考研英语一中会出现超纲词汇,考生不可避免的会“懵”出词汇含义,这就考察到翻译的技巧。下面为考生展现了一些晶灿的长难句翻译,希望考生从中领悟翻译精髓。 It is not obvious how the capacity to visualize s and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers. 【精彩译文】构思物体和找出数字模型的能力是如何让一个人去回答那些连最好的诗人和哲学家都回避的问题的,这点我们还不是很清楚。 Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters,whether it’s knowing when to guess or what question to skip. 【精彩译文】任何一个参加过SAT考试的人都会证实考试的技巧也很重要,无论这种技巧是知道什么时候去猜还是知道什么问题应该跳过。 On another level ,many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying. 【精彩译文】在另一个层面上,很多医疗界的人事承认,关于医生帮助下的自杀的讨论部分是因为病人的绝望情绪,对病人来说,现代医学已经延长了死亡的身体痛苦。 The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training , and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom . 【精彩译文】很自然,这种趋势会在尤以数学或实验室训练为基础的自然科学领域中表现得最为明显,并且可以用英国的地质学发展作为例证来说明。 The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for“birgin”forest. 【精彩译文】有理论认为亚马逊流域很大一部分从过去的农业耕作中如此完美地恢复了过来,以至于哪些重新生长的部分被好几代生物学家都错误地认为是原始森林。这些发现进一步地证明了这一理论。 An invisible border divides those arguing for computers in the classroom on the behalf of student’s career prospects and those arguing for computers in the classroom for broader reasons of radical education reform. 【精彩译文】一条五星的界限将支持计算机课堂的人分成两类:一类是从学生的职业前景出发考虑的,另一类人想得是像教育的彻底改革这样的一些更广泛的理由。 Instead , we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles , which now more than

英语长难句翻译技巧及方法 英汉两种语言句子的不同特点是:英语书面语长句较多;汉语一般短句较多。英语句子结构较紧,多用主人结构,英语可有各种后置修饰语(介词短语、不定式短语、动名词短语、分词短语以及从句),这些成分都是造成英语长句的原因;汉语句子结构较松,多用并列结构。有翻译经验的人们对这些特点作过形象的比喻,把英语句子结构比作“葡萄”,把汉语句子结构比作“竹节”。翻译长句时,可将英语的葡萄结构拆成汉语的竹节结构,即把成串的拆成成条的。 英汉两种语言的语序差异是:英语时间顺序灵活(表示时间的从句可以在主句之前或之后);汉语一般是从先到后。英语逻辑顺序也比较灵活(表示原因、条件的从句可以在主句之前或之后);汉语一般是前因后果,先进条年,后谈结果。英语中的句词性从句(主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句)与汉语句子主谓宾的语序基本一致,因此,一般都可按汉语的表达方式处理。 顺序法 如果英语长句的时间顺序、逻辑顺序以及名词性从句与汉语句子的语序基本相似,一般可按原文顺序译:如: 本句时间状语从句在前,用顺序法译。 (1)As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. 由于天气晴朗,当时又无急事,我便慢悠悠看看橱窗,逛逛公园。有时干脆停下脚步,四处张望。 逆序法 如果英语长句的时间顺序、逻辑顺序与汉语句子的语序相反,一般可逆原文顺序译。如: (2)“Neither believe nor reject anything,” he wrote to his nephew, “because any other person has rejected or believed it ……”他在给侄子的信中写道:“不要因为别的人相信或拒绝了什么东西,你也就去相信它或拒绝它。……” 分译法 由于的英语可有各种后置修饰语,所以有些英语句子很长。为了符合汉语表达习惯,我们常可将长句中的一连患后置修饰语与其修饰成分分开来译,即把短语或从句拆译为短句,有时还需将后置修饰语另作适当安排并适当增加词语。如: (1)A physically mature female deer in good condition who has conceived in November and given birth to two fawns during the end of May or first part of June, must search for food for the necessary energy not only to meet her body’s needs but also to pro duce milk for her fawns. 一只成熟健壮的母鹿,在十一月份怀胎,五月底或六月初生下两只幼鹿,这时,他必须寻找食物以获得必要的能量,这不仅是为了满足自身的需要,而且也是为了给幼鹿生产乳汁。

考研英语长难句翻译之四大状语从句

考研英语长难句翻译之四大状语从句 状语从句时考研翻译中很重要的一部分,几乎涉及到每一个长难句,所以我们有必要把状语从句单独拿出来解决。一般来讲状语从句的翻译相对简单,顺着句子的顺序去翻译就好了,但我们有时候还是会发现有些问题不是很好处理。 首先我们先看一下状语从句的特点。1.一般情况下,引导英语状语从句的从属连词,基本可以在汉语中找到相对应关联词,但有时不必翻译,因为引导汉语状语分句的关联词时常省略,有近50%的汉语复句中并不使用关联词语而且省略关联词的汉语句子更为精练。 2.英语状语从句的位置颇为灵活,置于主句之前或主句之后均可。汉语状语分句一般位于主句之前,只有偶尔才位于主句之后。 这是在翻译状语从句时总体来讲应该注意的问题,下面我们从状语从句的几个分支分别来看一下翻译。 (一)时间状语从句的翻译 1、译成与汉语完全对应的表示时间的状语 例:When they approached Trenton, lights were still burning in many of the houses and Christ mas parties were still going on. 当他们逼近屈兰敦时, 许多房子里仍然灯火通明,圣诞晚会还未结束。 由于英汉语言表达的习惯差异,通常汉语的状语从句位于句首,而英语的状语从句可前可后, 以后为多。汉语是一种意合的语言,汉语句子较少使用关联词。 2、翻译成固定(常规)句型 一般像由hardly (scarcely)…. when (before)…no sooner…than…as soon as …the moment(the instant )…just as…等短语连词引导的时间状语从句翻译成汉语时, 主句与从句通常要互换, 常常译成包含"刚(一)……就……"这种结构的句子。同样,包含该结构的汉语句子亦应翻译成英语中相对应的固定句式。 例:计算机刚一启动,就发现有病毒。 Hardly had the computer started working when viruses were found. As soon as she heard the news, she fainted. 3、译成并列分句 例:I was going home when I met Mary. 我正要回家, 就在这个时候,我碰到了玛丽。 4、转译为其他状语从句 英语状语从句有时它们的深层意义互相渗透,可以互相替换,需要转译。有些时间状语从句虽然形式上是由表示时间的引导词(如 when, before, until 等)引导,但根据句子逻辑意义来判断,应灵活翻译成表因果关系的从句,或者翻译为表条件的状语从句或表目的的状语从句。

学姐亲授英语长难句翻译答题注意事项_毙考题

学姐亲授英语长难句翻译答题注意事项 摘要:考研英语阅读、翻译等题型中多包含长难句,这常常成为影响同学们做题正确性的关键点,如何攻克长难句,各大名师都有自己的分析,今天我们带来毙考题学姐自己的备考经验,更易上手的好方法。 1.英语一和英语二的复习方法是否有区别? 首先和大家说明一下英语一和英语二在翻译上的区别:从难度水平上来看,英语一的难度要高于英语二;从出题形式上来看,英语一在文本中挑选5个长难句要求考生进行翻译,而英语二则是挑选一段话进行翻译,这是在出题形式上的差别。 然而,从复习方法上来看,英语一与英语二是基本一致的。虽然形式不同,但是英语中翻译句子的方法是万变不离其中的,因此一般考研英语翻译的相关材料也是同时适用于英语一和英语二的,只要掌握了提炼句子结构与成分的方法,无论是任何长难句都可以迎刃而解,因此在翻译这一题型中不需要特别去区分英语一和英语二。当然,在临近考试的阶段可以更多地去熟悉自己所要考的题型。 2.如何选择长难句翻译的复习材料? 长难句翻译的材料大致可分为两种:一种是针对包括阅读理解与翻译在内的所有长难句译法的详解,植根于句子本身的类型和结构从语法角度进行全面讲解;另一种则是专门针对考研翻译真题,简要介绍翻译方法后,对历年翻译部分的真题进行详细的结构划分和翻译,相比之下更具针对性。因此建议大家根据自己的实际情况和复习偏好,自己去选择适合自己的复习材料。

3.如何辨别简单句与复合句? 所谓简单句,就是句子中只有一套主谓结构的句子,复合句则是指句子中有多于一套的主谓结构,因此,通过句子中能提炼出的主谓个数即可判断出来。另一种相对直观的方法是根据从句的引导词判断,例如:what,that,which等等,通常每一种从句都会有比较明显的引导词出现,对这些词进行积累就能很容易判断出来。当然,一般来说,考研英语翻译题中出现的绝大多数都是复合句,即使是简单句,翻译的难度也不亚于复合句。 4.如何提炼主句与从句? 提炼主句与从句是一项需要长期培养的能力,很多地方需要在练习和积累中慢慢体会。不过简单来说,提炼主句就是提炼出句子最主干的那套主谓宾,所以要对句子中的主语、谓语和宾语部分保持敏感。另外,就像前面所说的,从句一般都会有比较明确的引导词,根据引导词划分从句一般是比较便捷的方法。 5.是否应当把阅读理解当成翻译来做? 很多同学觉得考研英语翻译的真题偏少,为了增强自己的翻译能力,常常会犹豫是否应该把阅读理解当成翻译题来做。那么首先我们需要明确的是,阅读理解的选择题和翻译题对考

考研英语长难句翻译技巧总结

考研英语长难句翻译技巧总结 词类转译: 在英译汉过程中,有些句子可以逐词对译,有些句子则由于英汉两种语言的表达方式不同,就不能逐词对译,只能将词类进行转译之后,方可使译文显得通顺、自然;对词类转译技巧的运用须从四个方面加以注意。 1、转译成动词。英语中的某些名词、介词、副词,翻译时可转译成汉语中的动词。 The lack of any special excretory system is explained in a similar way. 植物没有专门的排泄系统,可用同样的方式加以说明。(名词转译) As he ran out ,he forgot to have his shoes on.他跑出去时,忘记了穿鞋子。 2、转译成名词。英语中的某些动词、形容词,翻译时可转换成汉语中的名词。 The earth on which we live is shaped a ball. 我们居住的地球,形状像一个大球。(动词转译) The doctor did his best to cure the sick and the wounded. 医生尽了最大的努力来治疗病号和伤员。(形容词转换) 3、转译成形容词。英语中有些作表语或宾语的抽象名词,以及某些形容词派生的名词,往往可转译成汉语中的形容词。另外,当英语动词转译成汉语名词时,原来修饰该动词的副词也往往随之转译成汉语中的形容词。 It is no use employing radar to detect objects in water. 使用雷达探测水下目标是没有用的。(作表语的名词转译) The sun affects tremendously both the mind and body of a man. 太阳对人的身体和精神都有极大的影响。(副词转译) 4、转译成副词。英语中的某些名词、形容词,翻译时可转译成汉语中的副词。 When he catches a glimpse of a potential antagonist, his instinct is to win him over with charm and humor .只要一发现有可能反对他的人,他就本能地要用他的魅力和风趣将这些人争取过来。(名词转译) 词义选择和引申: 英汉两种语言都有一词多类和一词多义的现象。一词多类就是指一个词往往属于几个词类,具有几个不同的意义;一词多义就是同一个词在同一词类中又往往有几个不同的词义。在英译汉的过程中,我们在弄清原句结构后,就要善于运用选择和确定原句中关键词词义的技巧,以使所译语句自然流畅,完全符合汉语习惯的说法;选择确定词义通常可以从两方面着手: 1、根据词在句中的词类来选择和确定词义 They are as like as two peas .他们相似极了。(形容词) He likes mathematics more than physics .他喜欢数学甚于喜欢物理。(动词) Wheat, oat, and the like are cereals.小麦、燕麦等等皆系谷类。(名词)

2017考研英语:一步一步破解长难句翻译

2017考研英语:一步一步破解长难句翻 译 考研阶段的英语翻译常以长句子为主,不仅词汇量大,而且语法结构复杂,难度上升了不止一个档次,令很多小伙伴头痛不已。不过,只要找准主干,掌握好方法,层层剖析,破解长难句翻译也可以是一件很轻松的事。2017考研当前,以一个句子为例,一起看看如何一步一步破解长难句翻译吧。 第一步:通读句子 在翻译之前首先要通读句子,把握其中心意思: A few years ago, in one of the most fascinating and disturbing experiments in behavioral psychology, Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from all walks of life for their willingness to obey instructions given by a“leader”in a situation in which the subjects might feel a personal distaste for the actions they were called upon to perform. 第二步:找准主干 接下来要找出句子主干。哪怕结构再复杂,一个句子只能有一个主干,认准谓语动词,主干就很好找。这句话的主干就是:Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from all walks of life. 第三步:分析结构 找准主干之后,剩下的就都是修饰成分。把这些修饰成分和修饰的对象都找出来,一一对应,整理清楚,句子的语法结构也就明了了。 在此句中,A few years ago, in one of the most fascinating and disturbing experiments in behavioral psychology为状语,修饰主干;for their willingness to obey instructions given by a“leader”in a situation也是状语,修饰主干;in which the subjects might feel a personal distaste for the actions为状语中的定语从句,修饰”situation”;(that)they were called upon to perform是定语从句中的定语从句,修饰”actions”。 第四步:逐句翻译 因为句子结构复杂,包含多层意思,很难直接完整地译出来,且中、英表达方式不同,语序难以对应,所以需要先把修饰部分单独逐个翻译,译成几个分句。 先翻第一个状语,它不影响主干表达:A few years ago, in one of the most fascinating and disturbing experiments in behavioral psychology译为“几年前,在一次行为心理学中最吸引人但又最让人不安的实验中”。 再译主干部分:Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from all walks of life,译为“来自耶鲁大学的Stanley Milgram测试了来自各行各业的40个实验对象”。

考研英语长难句分析之_特殊句式

第五讲特殊句式及长难句解析 1.简单句、并列句、复合句 从句: 名词性:主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句 形容词性:定语从句 副词性:状语从句--- 时间、地点、原因、结果、目的、条件、让步、比较、方式 2.省略句、比较结构、倒装句、分割结构 英语中还有一些特殊句式,出现在阅读理解中,势必会成为我们理解文章的障碍。但是,特殊句式还是有语法规律的,因此,如果我们能熟练应用特殊句式的语法规律,在阅读中一眼就能识别并领会这些特殊语法现象,障碍就基本克服了。 1.省略句 资料47 To err is human; to forgive, divine. Brevity is the soul of wit. 文体畅晓,其智乃见。(省略是将句子中的赘述部分删去,避免重复,使句子更简洁,加强表达内容的连贯性和逻辑性。被省略的部分大多是主语、谓语或谓语中的助动词等。文章中的省略现象会使句子成分短缺,造成句子不完整,如果看不出句子中省略了什么成分,就容易造成对文章的理解困难。 省略句一般只有当各组成部分有共同的成分才可能出现省略。对于这类句式,其难点在于发现省略成分,一旦找出并补充完整,句意理解就会大大简化。 省略句如果出现在翻译中,在翻译的时候,一定要把省略的部分翻译出来,否则会扣分。A:and 连接的并列句的省略 材料48页:Until these issues are resolved, a technology of behavior will continue to be rejected, and with it possibly the only way to solve our problems.(2002) 分析:很明显,and with it possibly the only way to solve our problem,是一个省略句,with 做状语一般表示伴随,这一个分句只有一个状语加一个名词结构,构不成一个完整的句子。实际上,与前句相同的成分才会被省略,前一句的谓语部分是:will continue to be rejected. 所以,后一分句补充完整就是:with the rejection of the technology of behavior, possibly the only way to solve our problem will continue to be rejected. 练习:1. The reasons for poverty are many, but for the most part center on illiteracy, the lack of opportunities and in some cases pure laziness. (主语the reasons) 2.He majors in English, and I, in French. (谓语major ) 3.Self-confidence gives you light when you are in dark and encouragement when you are dismay. (省略主谓) B:状语从句中的省略 规则:当主句的主语与从句主语一致时候,且从句的谓语动词是Be动词时候,从句可省略主谓。See 材料48页1. 让步状语从句2 时间状语从句 3.If handled properly and not misused, the clone technology will only bring more benefit than disaster to mankind. (条件状语从句) 4.Some people look as if afraid of nothing. (方式状语从句) 5.The computer is still not yet able to do the work as well as an intelligent secretary. (比较)真题例句1 Actually we know of no type of astronomical body in which the conditions can be favorable to life except planets like our own revolving round a sun. 这是复合句。in which引导定语从句,修饰astronomical body. 介词except引起的短语作
