历年考研真题长难句解析荟萃(80)

1. One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that,unlike the rises in the 1970s,it has not occurred against the background of general commodityprice inflation and global excess demand.

【译文】 油价上升不会导致失眠的另一个原因是,与20世纪70年代不同,这一次油价上涨之时并没有出现普遍物价暴涨、全球需求过旺。
【析句】 本句的主句是One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that。比较复杂的是is后接一个由that引导的表语从句,其it是指油价上涨。
【讲词】 lose sleep意为“失眠”,lose sleep over意为“因……而失眠”。
against the background of表示“在……背景(情况)下”。He always paints ships against a background of stormy skies.(他常以暴风雨为背景画船。)We must try to understand the ethnic relations against the background of social changes at the time.(我们在认识种族关系时必须关注当时的社会变化。)
   2. Since the dawn of human ingenuity,people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous,boring,burdensome,or just plain nasty.
【译文】 从人类最初有了智慧至今,人们一直在设计更加巧妙的工具来从事危险、枯燥、繁重或实在不堪忍受的工作。
【析句】 该句是一个复杂单句,前面是since引导的一个时间状语,这个地方的 dawn取其比喻义,表示早期。后面主句中有一个定语从句that is dangerous,boring, burdensome,or just plain nasty用来修饰work。
【讲词】 ingenuity意为“机灵,才智,独创性”,例如:The boy showed ingenuity in making the toys.(男孩在制作那些玩具时表现出其聪明才智。)
to cope with等于to handle with或to deal with,都是“处理,对付,应付”之意。She must be under great pressures when she tried to cope with the situation.(就会那样的局面,她肯定面临了很大的压力。)
burdensome(繁重的,烦累的,难以承担的)由名词+some构成,类似的单词如: troublesome(麻烦的),worrisome(令人担忧的),winsome(迷人的),wholesome(卫生的,健康的)。
