历年考研真题长难句解析荟萃(118)

1. Instead of each province having its own list of approved drugs,bureaucracy,procedures and limited bargaining power,all would pool resources,work with Ottawa,and create a national institution.
【译文】 与其各省自行制定药品采购清单,拥有自己的机构、程序和有限的议价能力,倒不如集中各自掌握的资源,与渥太华一道成立一个全国性的机构。
【析句】 句子的主句是all would pool resources,work with Ottawa,and create a national institution。instead of引导了一个介词短语,作全句的状语。instead of意为“代替;宁愿”,如果直译句子肯定不通,因此在翻译时可对句子结构等进行适当的调整。
【讲词】 pool在句中作动词,意为“汇聚;集中”。Let’s pool our resources to finish the project quickly.(让我们集合我们的资源以尽快完成这个项目。)在北美,人们为了节省汽油,上班时会car pool,即拼车上班。
2. Basic economics suggests the greater the potential consumers,the higher the likelihood of a better price.

【译文】 基础经济学理论说明,潜在的消费者越多就越有可能争取更优惠的价格。
【析句】 这是一个简单句,但是由于用了不大常用的词likelihood,句子显得有些费解。改写一下,可能意思更明了:Basic economics suggests that it is more likely to negotiate a better price with more potential consumers。
【讲词】 likelihood意为“可能,可能性”。
Do you think there is any likelihood of his agreeing to it?(=Do you think it is possible that he will agree to it?你认为他有同意此事的可能性吗?)
WHO,the world health organization, warns that the likelihood of a human flu epidemic is very high.(世界卫生组织警告说,爆发人流感的可能性非常高。)
