历年考研真题长难句解析荟萃(96)
1. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor,lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth.【译文】 他们应该对报刊的读者来信及时做出反应,以防止动物权利的误导言论在毫无质疑的情况下横行,从而获得一副虚假的真理的面容。
【析句】 这是一个条件句,如果不熟悉lest这个词,理解句子会比较困难。
【讲词】 lest意为“惟恐,以免,免得”,例如:Be careful lest you fall from that tree.(要当心,以免从树上摔下来。)I was afraid lest he might come too late.(我怕他来得太晚。)
deceptive意为“骗人的;容易使人上当的”。Appearance can be deceptive.(外表可能是靠不住的。)
unchallenged意为“未受到挑战的;未受到质疑的;毫无疑问的”。He is an unchallenged political leader.(他是一位无可争议的领导人。)
2. Finally,because the ultimate stakeholders are patients,the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only wellknown personalities such as Stephen Cooper,who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research,but all who receive medical treatment.
【译文】 最后,由于最终的利益相关者是病人,因而医疗研究机构不仅应该积极争取像斯蒂芬?库柏这样的名人的支持——他敢于站出来谈论动物实验的价值——而且也应该争取所有接受治疗的病人的支持。
【析句】 本句是一个因果复合句,because引导一个原因从句,其后的句子成分是主句。在主句中,主语是the health research community,谓语是recruit,宾语是wellknown personalities和all。第一个宾语跟了一个同位语(Stephen Cooper),后面又跟了一个非限制定语从句。第二个宾语跟了一个定语从句,说明all。
【讲词】 ultimate意为“最后的,最终的,根本的”,也可以作名词,表示“顶点,极限”。Thats an absurdity carried to its ultimate.(这可是极端的荒谬。)
stakeholder意为“股东”,延伸指“相关的利益人(方)”:The stakeholders in the peace process should be encouraged to formulate a new constitution for the country.(应该鼓励和平进程的相关各方为这个国家起草一部新宪法。)
