专题06 长难句01：方法讲解(解析版)
专题06 阅读理解长难句方法（解析版）目录一、方法讲解 (1)高考真句1 (2)高考真句2 (3)高考真句3 (7)二、高考真题阅读理解经典长难句解析 (8)三、高考长难句分析练习 (9)全国I卷 (9)全国II卷 (13)全国III卷 (15)一、方法讲解英语句子是由“主干部分+三长两短一并列”组成的。
我们可把这个“三长两短一并列”称为构成英语句子的“组件”。
想要快速读懂一个句子，就要快速识别并准确译出每一个组件，再按照一定的逻辑将一个个组件连接起来。
这就是“组件分析三步法”。
Step 1: 做标记一般主语为名词，后面肯定会有定语从句，介词短语，非谓语等做后置定语，这时要把后置定语括起来，翻译为“..的”。
一般句子中隐藏的从句很多，此时应注意只要有主谓就可构成从句，就可括起来。
做标记时应按照上文中的方法，给“三长”加括号（或画横线），给并列词加方框，给并列项划下划线。
【例句】Li is a teacher teaching English in Beijing which is the capital of China. Li is a teacher(teaching English) (in Beijing) (which is the capital) (of China).Step 2: 做直译Li is a teacher (teaching English) (in Beijing) (which is the capital) (of China). 翻译时可先处理为：李是个老师。
教什么的?教英语。
在哪儿教?在北京。
哪个北京?是那个首都。
谁的首都?中国的首都。
这样整个句子的意思就一目了然了。
Step 3: 调语序上面的英语句子可以翻译成：“李是个在中国的首都北京教英语的老师。
”或者“李是个老师，在中国的首都北京教英语。
” 真题演练由于所举例子比较简单，所以上文中的Step2看起来或许有些多此一举。

他们认为路线愈艰难则愈为人们重视。
【讲解】the more…, the more…这种句型叫比例句。

【例1】The further off this solid obstruction, the longer time will elapse for the return of the echo. (Lesson 7)【译文】离固体障碍物越远，回声返回所用时间就越长。
【讲解】obstruction后省略了is。
【例2】We are so familiar with the fact that man ages,that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigour with time, of becoming more likely to die the older we get, was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. (Lesson 37)【译文】我们都熟悉这样的事实：人总是要衰老的;人们多年来一直认为，生命随着时间流逝而衰退或人越老越可能死掉这个过程不言而喻，恰似一壶热水会冷却、一双鞋会被穿破一样。
