如何提高对考研英语长难句的掌握,需要适量地做题和充分的复习。2017《考研英语长难句解密》这本书就满足我们的需要,书中对长难句的常见形式和解题方法都有详细的介绍,举例丰富,解析详尽。这里就汇总了几个长难句分析的例子,希望对同学们复习有帮助。
1. A technological advancement is gauged by the power it gives or the energy it consumes and the cost that is involved.
解析:本句的难点在于后置定语,it gives,it consumes,that is involved,把这些后置定语直接作为形容词短语放在前面就行,同时注意短语is gauged by:以...为标准。那么我们来切分意群:A technological advancement /is gauged by /
the power it gives /or the energy it consumes /and the cost that is involved.逐个意群翻译,最后组合为通顺的汉语。
整句翻译为:技术改进的标准在于它所给予(或付出)的能量,它所消耗的能源以及它涉及的价值。(或投入的成本)
2.He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.
解析:本句主要考察宾语从句,定语从句,比较及并列结构。首先我们先切分意群,He adds humbly /that perhaps /
he was “superior to the common run of men/ in noticing things/ which easily escape attention, and /in observing them carefully.
注意以下词汇:humbly,卑谦地,谦逊地。superior to高于,然后逐个意群翻译,组合成较为通顺的汉语:他谦虚的补充到:或许自己在注意到容易被人忽略的事情,并对其进行仔细观察方面优于他人。
在我们对长难句认真分析下,我们对长难句掌握得会更加扎实。
