第021句
There was no sign that Mr. Johnson, who keeps a firm control on the party despite from having **resigned ** leadership of it, would intervene personally.
譯文:約翰遜先生雖然已辭去領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù),但一直控制著政黨,然而并沒有跡象表明他會親自干預(yù)政權(quán)。
點(diǎn)睛:that引導(dǎo)的足sign的同位語從句,用于具體說明sign。who引導(dǎo)的是以Mr. Johnson為先行詞的定語從句,其中despite from...為該從句的狀語。
考點(diǎn)歸納:同位語從句的常見用法如下:
- 直接跟在名詞之后,由that引導(dǎo),that不可省略。
There is no doubt that you are a scholar.
毫無疑問,你是位學(xué)者。
- 有時不直接跟在名詞之后。
The news got about that you had won a car in the lottery.
有消息傳開說你彩票中獎得了一輛汽車.
- 可由連接代詞或連接副詞引導(dǎo)。
You have no idea how worried your parents were.
你不知道你父母有多擔(dān)心。
第022句
So involved with their computers do the children become that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games.
譯文:孩子們太沉迷于電腦,使得計(jì)算機(jī)夏令營的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)們不得不常常強(qiáng)迫他們停下來做運(yùn)動、玩游戲。
點(diǎn)睛:由于so位于句首,句子后面用助動詞do構(gòu)成了部分倒裝的形式。在that引導(dǎo)的從句中,at summer computer camps作leaders的后置定語,for sports and games作break的目的狀語。
考點(diǎn)歸納:當(dāng)一些含限定或否定意義的副詞和副詞短語,為了表示強(qiáng)調(diào)而置于句首時,句子要主謂倒裝,常見的此類副詞和副詞短語有:
hardly ever on no account
hardly...when only by
in no circumstances only in this way
neither / nor only then
never scarcely ever
no sooner...than not only
seldom not until
so nowhere
第023句
Continued exposure to stress has been linked to worsened functioning of the immune system, leaving a person more liable to infection.
譯文:持續(xù)處于壓力之下和免疫系統(tǒng)功能的弱化存在著某種關(guān)聯(lián),免疫系統(tǒng)功能的弱化使人更容易受到感染。
點(diǎn)睛:動詞過去分詞continued和worsened分別為名詞exposure和動名詞functioning的定語,表示一種被動關(guān)系。現(xiàn)在分詞短語leaving…作句子的伴隨狀語,其中more liable to.…作person的補(bǔ)語,表示“更容易…”。
第024句
The ideal listener stays both inside and outside the music at the moment it is played and enjoys it almost as much as the composer at the moment he composes.
譯文:理想的聽眾在音樂演奏的時候既融入其中,又置身其外,幾乎就像作曲家作曲時那樣享受音樂。
點(diǎn)睛:兩個at the moment引導(dǎo)的都是時間狀語從句。stays和enjoys為句中并列的謂語動詞。比較結(jié)構(gòu)as much as.比較了聽眾和作曲家對音樂的欣賞程度。句中的兩個it指代的都是music.he指代的是composer。
第025句
One sign that you are making progress in an art such as painting or photography is that you begin to realize how much there is to learn.
譯文:你在諸如繪畫或攝影這樣的藝術(shù)上取得進(jìn)步的標(biāo)志之一是:你開始意識到有很多東西要學(xué)習(xí)。
點(diǎn)睛:該句中兩個that所引導(dǎo)的從句有所不同:第一個that引導(dǎo)的是sign的同位語從句,其中such as…用以舉例說明art的具體形式。第二個that引導(dǎo)的是表語從句,其中how much引導(dǎo)的是realize的賓語從句。
