考研英語復習:長難句劃分技巧及實例分析

長難句在考研閱讀、完型填空和翻譯中的出現(xiàn)頻率很高,無論句子有多長、結構有多復雜,它都由一些基本的成分組成的。從結構來說,英語句子中,除了謂語之外,其它的成分均可以由從句或者非謂語動詞來充當。從句本身是一個完整的句子,因此,從句與從句之間的關系可能包孕、套嵌,也可能并列、平行。從功能來說,英語有三大復合句,即:①名詞性從句,包括主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句;②形容詞性從句,即我們平常所說的定語從句;③狀語從句。非謂語動詞可以有自己的時態(tài)和語態(tài)(過去分詞除外),也可以跟自己的邏輯主語、賓語、狀語等成分,構成一個非謂語動詞結構。由于非謂語動詞和從句的這些特點,使英語句子從理論上講可以無限延長。

考研英語復習:長難句劃分技巧及實例分析

英語長句的分析方法:去枝葉,留主干。

1)劃出句子中的定語從句和狀語從句;

2)劃出所有介詞短語(位于be動詞后的除外);

3)名詞性從句看作一個整體,找出句中所有的謂語結構、非謂語結構、介詞短語和從句的引導詞;

4)非謂語動詞結構看作一個整體;

5)找出全句的主語、謂語和賓語,即句子的主干;

6)分析從句的'結構和非謂語動詞的內部結構。

長難句分析的步驟舉例

經(jīng)典例題(2001年考研完型填空第二段)

In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce a draft bill that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and will strictly control the amount of publicity that can be given to a case before a trial begins.

分析:

第一,劃出定語從句和狀語從句: that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and will strictly control the amount of publicity /that can be given to a case /before a trial begins.

第二,劃出介詞短語:In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press

第三,句子的結構分析:

(1)主干結構是主語(Lord Irvine含同位語the Lord Chancellor)+將來時謂語(will introduce)+賓語(a draft bill);

(2)that引導的定語從句修飾draft bill,其中,will propose 是第一個謂語,making payments to witnesses illegal是一個動名詞短語做賓語,在動名詞短語內部,payments to witnesses做making的賓語,illegal是賓補;第二個謂語是will strictly control, the amount of publicity是它的賓語。that can be given to a case before a trial begins是孕含有一個時間狀語從句(before a trial begins)的定語從句,修飾publicity。

請大家按照上述步驟認真分解以下的句子,并把分解后的句子讀熟甚至背過,則基本上可以解決考研長難句問題。

考研英語十大長難句實例分析

2.The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century.

結構分析: 本句主干部分是The ... result has been to make entrance ... harder for amateurs...; 第一個逗號后面是一個名詞性短語,中心詞是the result,后面是that引導的定語從句;此定語從句中包含兩個并列狀語,其結構為first by ... and then by ... ;

譯文: 其總的結果是使業(yè)余人員的論文進入專業(yè)性地質學雜志更加困難,而審稿制度的全面引進使論文發(fā)表的難度進一步加大,這一制度開始是在19世紀的全國性雜志出現(xiàn)的,進入20世紀后也在一些地方性地質雜志實行。

3.Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.

譯文: 遺憾的是,這次調查的結果只獲得了一些膚淺的發(fā)現(xiàn),諸如新聞報道中的事實錯誤、拼寫或語法錯誤,以及特別令人費解的困惑:讀者到底想讀些什么。

4.A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming "I wanted to spend more time with my family."

譯文: 一次平級的人事調動傷了我的自尊心,并阻礙了我的事業(yè)發(fā)展,這促使我放棄自己地位較高的職業(yè),當然,就像顏面掃盡的政府部長那樣,我也掩飾說“我想多陪陪家人”.

5.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 doctrine of "juggling your life" , and making the alternative move into "downshifting" brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.

結構分析: 本句主干結構是I have discovered ... + that引導的賓語從句;as引導的句子是伴隨狀語,可以看作是插入語;在that引導的賓語從句中,主語是兩個動名詞短語:abandoning ... and making ...,謂語是brings;

6.Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.

結構分析: 本句主干結構為researchers ... have began to extend that forecast...;逗號前面為狀語成分,包含一個when引導的定語從句,其中it是形式主語,appear后面是that引導的是主語從句;

譯文: 雖然一開始在20世紀60年代和70年代有過一段樂觀的時期--那時候仿佛晶體管電路和微處理器的發(fā)展將使它們在2010年能夠模仿人類大腦的活動--但是最近研究人員已經(jīng)開始將這個預測延后數(shù)十年,甚至數(shù)百年。

7.
