14、裁剪機(jī)構(gòu)40.quickwitted才智敏捷難句精解①Ahistyoflongefftlesssuccesscanbeadreadfulhicapbutifproperlyhleditmaybecomeadrivingfce.▲該句是一個并列句,由前后兩個轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的分句組成,其間的連詞為but。but與后一個分句之間又插入一個由if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語ifproperlyhled,該狀語原來是一個if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句,即ifit(ahist

15、yoflongefftlesssuccess)isproperlyhled,其中的itis由于和該分句的主句部分主謂語一致而被省略掉了?!鞅揪浣Y(jié)構(gòu)比較簡明,只需注意but與itmaybecomeadrivingfce之間的if結(jié)構(gòu)是一個插入語,并且是一個省略了主語和系動詞的被動語態(tài)。此外hicap意為“不利條件”。②Itsscientistswerethewldsbestitswkersthemostskilled.AmericaAme

16、ricanswereprosperousbeyondthedreamsoftheEuropeansAsianswhoseeconomiesthewarhaddestroyed.▲前一句中itswkersthemostskilled是一個伴隨狀語,省略了其中的being,補(bǔ)齊成分后應(yīng)為itswkersbeingthemostskilled。后一句中beyondthedreamsoftheEuropeansAsians作prosperous

17、的狀語,beyond為介詞,是“超越,超出”的意思。而whoseeconomiesthewarhaddestroyed作定語從句修飾theEuropeansAsians,原形是thewarhaddestroyedtheeconomiesoftheEuropeansAsians?!髯⒁鈈eyond一詞的意思,它表示“在……之外”。③FawhileitlookedasthoughthemakingofsemiconductswhichAme

18、ricahadinventedwhichsatattheheartofthenewcomputeragewasgoingtobethenextcasualty.▲該句帶有一個表語從句,其表語從句中又套有兩個并列的定語從句。全句主句部分的主謂結(jié)構(gòu)是itlooked...,asthough(即asif好像)引導(dǎo)的從句是looked(看上去)的表語。表語從句中主語為themakingofsemiconducts,謂語為wasgoingtobe

19、,而逗號之間的兩個which從句是themakingofsemiconducts的非限定性定語,同時又是插入語?!髯⒁饫斫鈚henextcasualty的含義,casualty本意為“傷亡”,此處是“被國外產(chǎn)品擊敗的美國本土產(chǎn)業(yè)”。④Theirsometimessensationalfindingswerefilledwithwarningsaboutthegrowingcompetitionfromoverseas.▲英語的句式詞匯一

20、般都比較簡練,如果將本句用中國人習(xí)慣的語式講出應(yīng)該如下:TheirsometimessurprisingfindingsaboutthecausesofAmericansindustrialdeclinearefullofthewarningsaboutthegrowingcompetitionfromoverseasnations.△sensational即surprising。另外注意本句的中心意思在句末的thegrowingcom
