今天环球雅思小编给大家带来的是雅思阅读:长难句精解
在雅思阅读里面,理解句子是很重要的一个部分,要是平时缺乏英语理解的锻炼,那在雅思阅读的阅读材料过程中,理解就会比较费劲费时间,下面小编给大家讲讲一些长难句的理解,其实长难句主要是分析每个部分在句子里面充当的成分以及它们的语法用。一起来看看下面的例子:
- His approach to the problems that had
worried writers throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth
centuries was intensely practical.
分析:
这个句子是由一个主句加上一个定于从句构成的。主句部分为His approach to the problems was intensely practical,这是一个
主系表结构:his approach(主语);was(系动词);intensely practical(表语)。从句是由that引导的定语从句:that had
worried writers throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries,从句主语为that,指代名词problems;谓语为had
worried;宾语为writers;throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries是时间状语。
★approach/key/way等单词后面要用介词to,不能使用of
参考译文:
他的方法对于解决17世纪晚期和18世纪早起困扰作家们的问题非常使用。
- This is not just because of the
importance of English-speaking countries such as the USA in scientific
research; the scientists o
- many non-English-speaking countries
find that they need to write their research papers in English to reach a
wide international audience.
分析:
这个句子是一个并列复合句,两个并列句被分号隔开。第一个分句中的such as the USA是对English-speaking countries的举例
说明。第二个分句的主语为the scientists(后面的of many non-English-speaking countries作scientists的后置定语),谓语
是find,宾语是that引导的从句they need to write their reasearch papers in English to reach a wide international audience。
参考译文:
这不仅仅是因为说英语的国家在科学研究领域方面的重要性,例如美国;更因为许多非英语国家的科学家们发现,为了拥有广泛的国际读者它们需要用英语撰写研究论文。
- The m&#111nkey projects demonstrate that,
compaered with control animals that eat normally, caloric-restricted
m&#111nkeys have lower body temperatures and levels of the pancreatic
hormone insulin, and they retain more youthful levels of certain
hormones that tend to fall with age.
分析:
这个句子是一个复合句。主句是The m&#111nkey projests demonstrate that ...,that后面是一个宾语从句,这个宾语从句由两个并列
句构成:caloric-restriected m&#111nkeys have ... 和 they retain ... 。第一个并列句中包含了一个修饰animals的定语从句that eat
normally。 第二个并列句中也包含了一个定语从句that tend to fall with age,这个从句修饰的是certain hormones。
参考译文:
猴子项目表明,同饮食正常的对照猴子相比,热量受阻的猴子提问较低、胰腺胰岛素水平也较低。而这些猴子的某些激素却保
持在更年轻的状态——这些激素水平随着年龄增长而下降。
- European countries are becoming
increasingly concerned by major threats to European forests, threats
which know no frontiers other than those of geography or climate: air
pollution, soil deteriortation, the increasing number of forest fires
and sometimes even the mis management of out woodland and forest
heritage.
分析:
这个句子的主干部分是:European countries are becoming increasingly concerned by major threats。主句中to European forests
作后置定语修饰major threats,而threats which ... forest heritage作major threats的同位语,这个同位语中又包含了一个定于从句
which know ... forest heritage,用于修饰先行词threats。
★定语从句中有两个短语需要大家了解:no frontier意为“无限,无止境”;other than意思是“除了”。
参考译文:
欧洲国家越来越关注欧洲森林受到的主要威胁,除了地理和气候之外,还有很多威胁,比如:空气污染、土壤退化、越来越多
的森林火灾,有时候甚至还有我们对林地和森林遗产的管理不妥。
- In the Glass and Singer study, in
which subjects were exposed to bursts of noise as they work on a task,
some subjects heard loud bursts and others heard soft bursts.
分析:
这个句子由连词and连接的两个并列句构成:some subjuects heard loud bursts和others heard soft bursts。介词短语in the Glass and Singer study置于句首充当状语,其后which引导的定语从句修饰先行词study,in which在定语从句中充当状语成分。在这个定语从句中又出现一个as引导的时间状语从句:as they work on a task。
参考译文:
在格拉斯和辛格的研究中,实验对象在专心完成一项任务时被暴露于突发的噪声中,有些人听到的噪音是响亮的,然而有些人听到的噪音却是柔和的。
