1.Bycoincidence,oilpaintswerealsodevelopedatthistime,whichmadethecoloursusedinpaintingslookricheranddeeper.
[句式分析] 本句是主从复合句,which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个句子的内容;从句中madethecoloursusedinpaintingslookricheranddeeper是“make+宾语+宾补”结构,宾补是不带to的不定式短语;过去分词短语usedinpaintings作后置定语,修饰colours。
[自主翻译] 巧合的是,这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展,使得绘画中使用的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。
2.AmongthepainterswhobrokeawayfromthetraditionalstyleofpaintingweretheImpressionists,wholivedandworkedinParis.
[句式分析] 本句的主干是AmongthepaintersweretheImpressionists,介词短语Amongthepainters位于句首,引起全部倒装。
句中的两个who引导的定语从句分别修饰先行词thepainters和theImpressionists。
[自主翻译] 在那些突破传统绘画风格的画家中有在巴黎生活和工作的印象派画家。
3.Atthetimetheywerecreated,theImpressionistpaintingswerecontroversial,buttodaytheyareacceptedasthebeginningofwhatwecall“modernart”.
[句式分析] 此句是一个由but连接的并列句。
theywerecreated是定语从句,修饰thetime;whatwecall“modernart”在句中作介词of的宾语。
[自主翻译] 在印象派作品的创建初期,它们是存在争议的,但是如今它们已被人们接受而成为我们所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。
4.Ontheonehand,somemodernartisabstract;thatis,thepainterdoesnotattempttopaintobjectsasweseethemwithoureyes,butinsteadconcentratesoncertainqualitiesoftheobject,usingcolour,lineandshapetorepresentthem.
[句式分析] thatis为插入语;asweseethemwithoureyes为方式状语从句;usingcolour,lineandshapetorepresentthem为现在分词短语作方式状语。
[自主翻译] 一方面,有些现代艺术是抽象的,也就是说,画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来,而是集中展现物体的某些品质特性,用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。
