英语四级阅读备考之长难句过关:第6讲

第一章并列平行结构

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.

从今天开始我们就由浅入深,来对这一类型的句子进行练习和攻克。希望大家通过练习能掌握分析这类句式的一般规律和方法。

Exercise

It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker reestablishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation.

And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.

One can only guess that if he heard many of them he was only strengthened in his resolve not to allow himself and his bride to be made a spectacle -- not their live selves or their bodies

要点分析和参考译文

要点:基本句型" It is important that......" ,that 主语从句的谓语为虚拟语气(be)。Either...or... 连接语法上相同的两部分:will pause...和will terminate...。

参考译文:重要的是当说话者的目光重新停留在听众脸上的一瞬间,听众一定得看着他(她),如果没看,说话者就会认为听众不感兴趣,那么就会停下来等听众的目光重新回到他(她)的脸上或者终止谈话。

要点:rather than意为"而不"。其前后在语法上为相同的成分。此处为两个结构相同的介词短语on the specific skills......和on the basic background skills......。

参考译文:培训工人的有限投资应重点地集中使用于完成下一个工作所必需的特殊技能的培训上,而不是用在能让他们吸收新技术的基本技能的培训上。

PS: 这是书上的译文,但有同学提出异议,那豆豆在仔细看了一下,觉得同学说的是很有道理的,此处没有"应当"的含义。豆豆也觉得翻成:培训工人的有限投资更多地被狭隘的集中使用于完成下一个工作所必需的特殊技能的培训上,而不是用在能让他们吸收新技

术的基本技能的培训上。仅为个人观点,供大家参祥

要点:not ......or ......结构相当于neither ...... nor ......结构参考译文:人们只能猜测,如果他听到了很多有关的情况,这只能坚定他的决心:不能让他和他新娘成为展品而丢人现眼--活着的时候不可以,死了也不行。

英语倒装句

英语倒装句(Inversion) 主语和谓语是句子的核心,它们之间有两种语序: 一是主语在谓语之前称为自然语序(Natural Order); 二是主语在谓语之后则称为倒装语序(Inverted Order)。 而倒装语序中又有完全倒装(Full Inversion)和部分倒装(Partial Inversion)完全倒装(Full Inversion):又称"全部倒装",是指将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通常只用与一般现在时和一般过去时。 部分倒装(Partial Inversion):指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态动词倒装至主语之前,而谓语动词无变化。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does或did,并将其置于主语之前。 英语句子的倒装一是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装,二是由于修辞的需要而进行的倒装。 前一种情况,倒装是必须的,否则就会出现语法错误;后一种情况,倒装是选择性的,倒装与否只会产生表达效果上的差异。 语义解析 一、表示强调: 倒装句最突出、最常见的修辞效果就是强调,其表现形式如下: +状语或状语从句置于句首,句子用部分倒装。 例子: Only in this way can you solve this problem. 只有用这种方法,你才可以解决这个问题。 Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he had made a big mistake.只有当他已经说出那个字后才意识到自己犯了个大错误。 2. hardly,in no way,little,scarcely,seldom,never,no more, no longer,not, not only, no sooner, not only … (but also),not until… 等具有否定意义的词或词组位于句首,句子用部分倒装。 例子: No sooner had I got home than it began to rain. 我刚到家就下起了雨。 Seldom do I go to work by bus. 我很少乘公共汽车上班。 Not until twelve o'clock did she go to bed last night . 她昨晚十二点才上床睡觉。 3. so / such...that结构中的so或such位于句首可以构成部分倒装句,表示强调so /such和that之间的部分。 例子: So unreasonable was his price that everybody startled. 他的要价太离谱,令每个人都瞠目结舌。 To such length did she go in rehearsal that the two actors walked out. 她的彩排进行得那么长,以致于那两个演员都走出去了。 以上各例都用倒装语序突出了句首成分,其语气较自然语序强烈,因而具有极佳的 修辞效果。 二、承上启下

W: In the paper, it says there’s a man going round pretending he’s from the electricity board. He’s been calling at people’s homes, saying he’s come to check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it. M: But you know Jane, it’s partly their own fault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them. W: It’s all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you automatically think they are ok, especially if they flash a card to you. M: Does this man have an I. D. then? W: Yes, that’s just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It’s a bit sad. One old lady told them she’d just been to the post office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description. W: Oh, yes, they have. Let’s see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually. Q19. What does the woman want the man to read in the newspaper? (A theft case) Q20. How did the man mentioned in the newspaper try to win further trust from the victims? (Flashing his I.D. to them) Q21. What is the warning from the police?( not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment) Q22. What does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?(Her pension has been stolen by the man) Conversation Two M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts? W: Yes certainly. I was a marketing consultant, responsible for marketing ten UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector, all of a very high standard. M: Which markets were you responsible for? W: For Europe and Japan. M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?

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.

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.

英语四级听力长对话技巧

英语四六级听力长对话应试技巧 ?长对话共两篇每篇300词左右共7道题 ?长对话侧重于对话内容理解得整体性。 长对话得篇幅较长,想要听过之后就能将主要得内容都清楚地记在脑子里,几乎就是不可能得。考生只有听一遍得机会,只能边听、边记、边答。 边听边记就是听力中一项非常重要得技能,但就是做笔记并不就是要把听到得每一个单词都记下来,笔记无非就是帮助记忆得手段,只要能把重要得信息用可识别得符号记录下来,就算达到了目得。因此为了提高听与记得效率,应注意把握一定得技巧与原则。 英语四六级听力长对话6大边听边记技能 一、抓住首尾句 主题句常常就是在对话得开头,它对整个对话得内容起一个概括与提示得作用,实际上就是说话人所谈论得中心话题。长对话中得第一题很可能就是针对对话得开头提问,考查考生对整个对话得主题或所谈话题得把握。 结尾处往往涉及到建议、决定或某种行为等,它对整个对话起到一个总结得作用。长对话得最后一题经常就是针对对话得结尾设题,故留意其中得关键动词就成了解题得关键。 二、留意对话中得一问一答 长对话中,对话双方往往出现多个一问一答,而这一恰恰就是长对话得一个出题重点,对话后面问题往往就就是对话原文中问题得照搬或就是同义转述,因此其答案就就是对话中紧接问题之后得答语,而且一般不会有同音或近音词得干扰,因此对于这类题目答案得基本原则就就是"听到什么选什么"。 三、留意重复率较高得词或短语 对话得主要内容理所当然会得到说话人得强调,而一个非常重要,也就是非常明显得强调方式就就是重复,而且重复得词语往往能够揭示对话得主题。因此对那些对话双方多次提到得词语或内容应进行重点记忆。 四、留意选项中得要点内容 正确选项往往与原文相似,或就是原文得同义表达,因此应注意提取选项中得关键点,在听音时留意其就是否在文中出现并加以记录。 五、留意数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等相关信息

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. The first time that question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. (1990. 阅读. Text 1) 【译文】当有人建议铺设一条从欧洲到美洲的海底电报光缆的时候,出于商业动机,人们才不得不首次回答这个问题“海底有什么东西”。 【析句】本句话的难点在于主从句成分的区分。主句为The first time was when the laying...was proposed, when引导表语从句,而that question had to be answered with...则是定语从句修饰the first time。 3. 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.

英语四级长对话精讲

长对话 一、题材类型 听力长对话共有两篇,共七题。长对话的题材一般都和学校生活有关: 1)课程内容:以上课为背景,介绍某个知识。 2)打工内容:常涉及到工作的内容、与学习课程之间的冲突。 3)度假旅游经历。 4)学校生活:谈论某个教师的课堂、某个讲座。 5)住宿生活:与室友的相处或与房东的矛盾。 6)某项娱乐活动。 二、考查类型 根据对历年四级考试听力部分的研究发现,长对话对考生能力的考查不外乎包含以下三大块:把握对话主旨大意、分析对话事实细节、具体信息推理判断。 1.把握对话主旨大意 主旨大意题主要考查考生对对话全局的掌握,以及判断主要信息和次要信息的能力,一般要求考生从四个选项中挑出最适合作中心思想的选项,考生要在理解整篇对话内容的基础上选择答案。主旨大意题常见的提问方式有: What is the conversation mainly talk about? What is the main topic of the conversation? What are the two speakers talking about? EXAMPLE A)The man has sent the order to the woman by mistake. B)Some of the telephone systems don’t work properly. C)Some of the packs do not contain any manuals. D)The quality of the goods is not up to the standard. 由order,mistake,system,don’t work,packs,quality,goods可以推测出对话内容与产品的买卖有关,再根据各选项语义判断,本题可能考查产品买卖中出现的问题,听音时应注意与此相关的信息。 W: What can I do for you? M: Well, unfortunately, there is a problem with the order we received from you yesterday. It seems we’ve not received the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system. W: Oh, dear, that’s bad news. I’m very sorry to hear that, and you don’t know how many packs are without manuals? M: No, because we haven’t opened every pack. But in several of those that have been opened there are none, no manuals. 23. What problem are the speakers discussing? C)。问题中的关键信息词是problems和speakers discussing。对话中男士提到,有些电话设备的包装里面没有使用手册,接下来的对话也是围绕着如何解决这个问题展开的。 2.分析对话事实细节 事实细节题主要是针对对话中的细节信息进行考查,包括人物、地点、时间、数字、原因、目的、手段、建议、态度、观点、行动、计划等。这种题主要考查考生对对话细节的把握,对考生的短时记忆提出
