历年考研真题长难句解析荟萃(125)
1. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening,suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day.【译文】 多数人似乎在入睡初期做更多不好的梦,而在快睡醒前会逐渐做开心一些的梦,这说明人们会在梦里排解白天的负面情绪。
【析句】 Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night是句子的主干,后面跟了两个现在分词结构progressing toward…和suggesting that …,都是作伴随状语,但是第一个现在分词结构的逻辑主语是most people,而第二个的逻辑主语是suggesting前面的所有句子成分。另外,在suggesting的宾语从句中,过去分词结构 generated during the day 作后置定语,修饰前面的feelings。
【讲词】 progress作动词表示“进展”。Our company cannot progress until we employ more people.(我们公司只有雇用更多的人才能发展。)
generate的意思是“产生,形成,生成”:computergenerated imagery(计算机生成的图像)。
When coal burns,it generates heat.(煤在燃烧时产生热量。)
The situation generated widespread dissatisfaction with the peace process.(这种形势导致人们对和平进程普遍感到不满。)
2. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don’t always think about the emotional significance of the day’s events—until,it appears,we begin to dream.
【译文】 因为我们的意识为日常琐事所占据,所以我们不会总是考虑白天发生的事情对情绪的影响,直到我们开始做梦,这种影响似乎才出现。
【析句】 本句是一个表示关系的复合句,Because引导原因状语从句,主句是we don’t always think about the emotional significance of the days events。破折号后面的until引导一个时间状语从句,其中it appears 是插入语。
【讲词】 occupy除了常见的意思“占领”以外,还表示“占用”。
As I was full occupied with my own thinking,I did not hear the teacher calling my name.(我一门心思想着事,没有听到老师叫我的名字。)
I was occupied with preparing for the postgraduate examinations.(我一门心思准备考研。)
significance意为“意义,含义,重要性”。
It was not until the early 18th century that the significance of the event was generally realized.(直到18世纪初,人们才普遍认识到这一事件的意义。)
Proper methods are needed to determine the significance of these changes.(需要恰当的方式才能确定这些变化的重要性。)
