历年考研真题长难句解析荟萃(149)

1. Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are f-ans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks,yet “some Americans fear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immun-e to the nations assimilative power.”
【译文】 罗德里古兹指出,尽管世界边远乡村的孩子崇拜阿诺德?施瓦辛格和加斯?布鲁克斯,然而“有些美国人却担心生活在美国的移民不知何故不受这个国家同化力量的影响。”
【析句】 这是一个复合句,yet在句中起转折作用。
【讲词】 note意为“注意,记录,作笔记”,作动词表示口头或书面表达他所注意到的事件或观点,因而有时可以译成“指出,写到,注意到,说”等。He noted that many issues had been discussed at the conference.(他说会上讨论了许多议题。)
immune意为“免疫的;免除的;豁免的”。
The criminal was told he would be im-mune from punishment if he helped the police.
(罪犯被告知,如果他协助警方就可以免受惩罚。)
Small businesses started by the unemployed urban dwellers are immun-e from taxes for a certain period of time.
(城市失业人员经营小本生意在一定时间里可以享受免税待遇。)
The operation of the company will be immune to any outsid-e interference.
(公司的运营不会受外界的干扰。)
2. Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Ind-eed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when view-ed against Americas turbulent past,todays social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.
【译文】 美国是否存在分裂社会的问题和极度愤怒的群体?确实存在。美国太大了,什么都会存在。但是,尤其是与美国动荡的过去相比,今天的社会指数根本就不说明存在着黑暗和恶化的社会环境。
【析句】 此句的难点在于对一些词语的理解。a bit of everything是一种口语化的表达,意为“什么都有一点”。
【讲词】 divisive意为“区分的,分裂的”,divisive issues意为“分裂社会的问题”。
pocket除了“口袋”之意,还可以表示“孤立的地区,保护区:被隔离的或被保护的小地区或集团”,在句中应该理解为“社会群体”。
seething意为“火热的,沸腾的”,例如:a seething revolutionary struggle(火热的革命斗争),a seething flood(滚滚的洪水)。
seething anger意为“极度的愤怒”。
to be viewed against意为“对着……观察;与……相比;鉴于”。
Viewed against his family background,he must have worked hard to become what he is today.
(鉴于他的家庭背景,他一定非常努力才有了今日的成就。)
