新航道考研英语长难句100句解析经典
长难句是英语考试中必考的内容,许多同学之所以英语成绩不高,正是因为阅读习惯和思维方式受到句子长度和难度的干扰,这也是出题者的意图所在。
下面给大家介绍几种常见的英语长难句,方便大家复习。
1.含有分隔结构的句子
分隔结构在英语表达中经常出现,它的作用主要是调整语气、补充信息以及平衡句子结构。
在阅读长难句中出现较多的分隔形式是插入语。
插入语有很多不同的类型,可以是一个词,比如形容词(strange,etc)、副词(personally,honestly,fortunately,luckily,etc);可以是短语,比如形容词短语(worststill,sureenough,etc)、介词短语(ofcourse,inshort,asamatteroffact,bytheway,etc)、分词短语、动词不定式(tobesure,totellyouthetruth,etc);也可以是句子,比如ifImaysayso,ifyoudon'tmind,thatis(tosay)等都是非常常见的插入语。
通常,去掉句中这些插入成分不会影响句子的完整性。
如:
Isay/hear,Ithink/hope/believe,youknow/see,what'smore,I'mafraid,doyouthink/suppose等。
如:
Hisjourneytothee-mailhellbeganinnocentlyenoughwhen,aschairmanofComputerAssociatesInternational,asoftwarecompany,hefirstheardhowquicklyhisemployeeshadacceptedtheirnewelectronic-mailsystem.这是一个典型的含有多个插入语的长句。
aschairmanofComputerAssociatesInternational是he的同位语,asoftwarecompany是ComputerAssociatesInternational的同位语,它们将从属连词when引导的时间状语从句的主语分隔开了。
去掉这些插入语后,这句话的意思就很清楚了。
2.被从句拉长的简单句
这些句子较长,有时甚至出现一个从句套另一个从句、环环相扣的情况。
遇到这种情况时,考生在阅读过程中经常会遗忘前面刚刚读过的内容,往往读了几遍,还搞不清整个句子的结构。
如:
Probablythereisnotoneherewhohasnotinthecourseofthedayhadoccasiontosetinmotionacomplextrainofreasoning,oftheverysamekind,thoughdifferingindegree,asthatwhichascientificmangoesthroughintracingthecausesofnaturalphenomenon。
事实上,无论多长多复杂的句子,都是由主干和修饰成分这两部分组成的。
主干是整句话的主体框架,主要指主谓宾结构(Heplaysbasketball)或主系表结构(Thisisanapple)。
修饰成分可以是单词,可以是短语,也可以是从句,无论是何种形式,它在句中都只起到修饰和补充主干的作用。
因此,对于这种类型的长句,我们要做的首先是确定主干,然后理清从句结构,再按照所确定的各个成分想想句子的大意,再联系上下文看是否与语境相吻合。
如果前后文理不通,则可能是分析有误,这时就需要对句子结构重新进行分析。
用上述的方法简化上述的那句话,就会发现,句子的主干是thereisnotone,后面都是修饰成分。
定语从句whohasnot...naturalphenomenon修饰先行词one,在这个定语从句中,oftheverysamekind...asthat...作为后置定语修饰acomplextrainofreasoning;句中有一个让步状语thoughdifferingindegree作为分隔结构,把theverysame...asthat分隔开;asthatwhich...中的that是先行词,被which所引导的定语从句修饰。
在考研英语阅读中,常用来拉长简单句的就是定语从句和状语从句。
尽管很多考生对这两种从句并不陌生,但仍然被它们迷惑,分不清单词、短语和从句之间的相互关系。
比如分不清定语从句所修饰的先行词是哪一个,或者一个从句究竟该在哪里结束。
出现这种情况并不完全是因为对语法不够熟悉,而是因为忘记了一个重要的原则--在没有列举的情况下,以句号为标记的一句话中一般只能有一个谓语动词。
因此,从句应该在其后的第一个谓语动词和第二个谓语动词之间结束。
如果从句中出现连词and等,则有可能连接了两个谓语动词,那么从句就应该在第二个和第三个谓语动词之间结束,以此类推。
3.多个并列句构成的长句
这是一种相对简单的情况,我们首先要做的就是找到并列连词(and,so,but,or,etc),然后将长句分解成多个分句,理清各分句的内部结构和句意,然后再综合考虑全句,即可明了整句话想表达的意思。
如:
Inthe1970shewasasurgeonatYale,hadawonderfulwifeandfivebeautifulchildren,buthewasterriblyunhappy.需要注意的是,这种类型的句子中常出现省略现象,比如在本例中,第二个并列句即had前面就省去了andhe。
4.复合从句
对于复合从句,要首先找出从属连词并确定主句,接着按照简单句的分析方法,梳理各分句的结构和意义,然后确定各从句的性质,也就是明确每个从句在句中分别修饰哪些词语或结构,最后综合整体考虑全句大意。
如:
IntheearlyindustrializedcountriesofEuropetheprocessofindustrialization-withallthefar-reachingchangesinsocialpatternsthatfollowed-wasspreadovernearlyacentury,whereasnowadaysadevelopingnationmayundergothesameprocessinadecadeorso。
在这个句子中,首先确定连词whereas(而)表示对比,确定主句并找出主干结构,也就是theprocessofindustrialization-wasspreadovernearlyacentury,破折号中间的短语是附加成分,修饰主语中心词process,其中socialpatterns后面thatfollowed是一个定语从句。
最后需要提醒的是,在进行长难句分析时,还应特别注意以下几点:
(1)是否有省略、倒装等现象;
(2)明确替代词的所指对象;
(3)判断并列成分的层次;
(4)句首的并列连词and、or、but、for通常起承上启下的作用,不要将它们归入后文的句法分析;
(5)在有多个从句的复合句和并列句中,要准确判断状语(单个词、短语或从句)究竟是全句的修饰语还是某个从句或词语的修饰语。
