英语四级真题阅读长难句分析(3)

英语四级真题阅读长难句分析(3)

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. Already the public agencies for adult education are swamped by the tide that has swept over them since depression began. (2003. 阅读. 6. Text 3)【译文】从事成人教育的公共机构已经因为经济萧条开始以来席卷全国的趋势而陷入困境。

【析句】例句2的句子结构并不复杂,主句the public agencies for adult education are swamped by the tide, that has swept over them...作定语从句修饰the tide, 而定语从句中,又有since引导的时间状语从句,这个时间是修饰swept over这个动作的。

英语四级四级长难句

英语四级四级长难句

四级长难句分析在大学英语四级考试的阅读理解中,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。

首先我们先来了解制造长句的几个要点一 词汇:核心词汇+普通词汇二 语法结构1.从句:定语、同位语、表语、宾语、状语2.并列结构3.插入语4.倒装5.强调6.省略:分词作定语,独立主格结构2008-61.But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and —— without major technological breakthroughs —— we can't do much about it.2. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it's really an engineering one. 3.Privacy economist Alessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on apitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)4. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like.2007-124.The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with awild imagination taking her first music lesson.5. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact thatI was co-opting my daughter’s experience.6. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainlya good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked.2007-67. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.8. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.9. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.”10. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.11. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly.12. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.13. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men.14. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.15. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore.16. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. 2006-1217. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity.18. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.19. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.20. Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish toappear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.21. As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.22. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.23. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs.24. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health.25. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.26. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.2006-627. But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time.28. Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by thearrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.▲29. We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you’re disposable.30. If Sept. 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely.2006-6旧31.Women’s education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue.32.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children.33.Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle of neglect.34.She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.35.The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.36.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their enginemanagement computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key.2005-1237.While here’s on question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.38.In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they get the job done.39. Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.40. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.实战演练1.But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do.2. To determine the consequences of sleep deficit,researchers have put subjects through a set ofpsychological and performance tests requiring them, forinstance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passageread to them only minutes earlier.3. Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggestthat teaching and research contradict each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly underemphasized.4. House had to be sited “within easy walking distance ofthe railroad station,” as some old residents would point out; and only those wealthy enough to afford a horse and a carriage dared to penetrate farther into the open country.5. White collar workers doing routine work in governmentoffices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.6. But you must know that different nations have differentways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.7. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis;college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school.8. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routinethan he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.9. The recent growth of export surpluses on the world foodmarket has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests.10. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18thcentury Enlightenment (启蒙运动) to be told by any of ushow little we know and how bewildering seems the wayahead.11. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.12. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.13. Scientists, like other human beings, have their hopes and fears, their passions and disappointments and their strong emotions may sometimes interrupt the course of clear thinking and sound practice.14. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.15. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.二、总结——长难句分析步骤1、首先确定句子是简单句、复合句或并列句。

英语四级阅读长难句结构技巧分析

英语四级阅读长难句结构技巧分析英语四级阅读长难句结构技巧分析导语:含有分隔结构的复杂句通常是指那些句子结构主谓、谓宾、宾补之间存在着其他成分。

而有时这些介入成分又较长,从而使本来应该紧联在一起得句子成分被分隔开了。

我们一起来看看这些句子应该怎么做吧。

含有分隔结构的复杂句通常是指那些句子结构主谓、谓宾、宾补之间存在着其他成分。

而有时这些介入成分又较长,从而使本来应该紧联在一起得句子成分被分隔开了。

另外还有一种分隔结构是同位语和定语同它们所修饰得成分分隔,由于作同位语和作定语得句子太长,而后面得部分又太短,为了保证全句意思表达得完整性常常把同位语或定语放到句子最后,形成分隔得结构。

一般来说分隔结构本身不难辨认,但当句子较长,成分较多,被分隔得部分又相距较远时就容易造成理解障碍,而且常常被分隔得成分又恰恰是句子得主干。

因此准确判断分隔结构,理顺句子主干就成了理解这类句子得关键。

Exercise:We live in a time when, more than ever before in history, people are moving about。

Evening had now come, the last of Adolf Hitler’s life。

Several neighbors hope to find safety in the only bomb shelter on their street when an announcement comes over the radio that enemy missiles are approaching。

要点分析和参考译文要点:定语从句“people are moving about”被比较状语“more than ever before in history”分隔。

此现象为“分隔定语”参考译文:我们生活在一个四处奔波甚于历史上任何时期得时代。

四级翻译长难句解析与翻译技巧

四级翻译长难句解析与翻译技巧

四级翻译长难句解析与翻译技巧翻译长难句一直是英语学习者面临的挑战之一。

这些句子通常包含复杂的结构、长串的修饰语和难以捉摸的语法规则。

然而,通过一些技巧和策略,我们可以更好地应对这些句子的翻译,保持准确性和流畅性。

本文将介绍一些常见的长难句结构,并提供一些翻译技巧以解析和翻译这些句子。

一、定语从句定语从句是一个常见的长难句结构,它用于对名词进行修饰。

在翻译定语从句时,我们需要把握好从句与主句之间的关系,并确保翻译准确和连贯。

以下是一些处理定语从句的技巧:1. 引导词的选择:在翻译定语从句时,我们需要根据语境和句意来选择合适的引导词。

例如,如果从句指代的是人,我们可以使用“who”或“that”,而如果指代的是物,则可以使用“which”或“that”。

例句1: The book that/which I bought yesterday is very interesting.翻译: 我昨天买的那本书非常有趣。

例句2: The man who/that is sitting over there is my uncle.翻译: 那个坐在那边的人是我的叔叔。

2. 关系代词的省略:在定语从句中,关系代词常常可以省略,这在英语中是常见的现象,但在翻译时需要注意补充。

例句1: The car (which/that) I bought last week broke down.翻译:我上周买的那辆车出了故障。

例句2: The girl (who/that) I met at the party is a doctor.翻译:我在派对上遇到的那个女孩是一名医生。

二、倒装句倒装句是英语中常见的句子结构之一,它与正常的主语-谓语-宾语结构不同,而是将谓语动词或助动词放在主语之前。

处理倒装句的翻译时,以下是一些建议:1. 注意句子结构:在翻译倒装句时,我们一定要注意句子的结构和语序。

对于部分倒装,可以通过调整句子结构来适应目标语言的语序。

4.This violation of concentration, silence, solitude(独处的状态)goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part-reading, of part-perception against background distraction, renders impossible certain essential acts of apprehension and concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart.【分析】这是一个并列句。

5.And with doubtful prospects for a short-term financial return, with the cold war a rapidly fading memory and amid a growing emphasis on international cooperation in large space ventures, it is clear that imperatives other than profits or nationalism will have to compel human beings to leave their tracks on the planet's reddish surface.【分析】句子的主干是it is clear that imperatives will have to compel human beings to leave tracks on the planet’s reddish surface.;两个with分别引导两个伴随状语。

【译文】由于越来越多的证据表明这个红色行星上曾经有稳定而丰富的液态水,又因人们对落到地球上的火星细菌化石陨石的说法一直有争论,所以火星上是否存在过生命、是否延续至今的问题一直引人注目。
