历年考研真题长难句解析荟萃(131)

1. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta,Georgia,which has just been published in Nature,suggests that it is all too monkey,as well.
【译文】 但是由佐治亚州亚特兰大埃里莫大学的Sarah Brosnan 和Frans de Waal进行的一项研究表明猴子也具有“猴之常情”,该成果刚在《自然》上发表。
【析句】 本句的主干是a study… suggests that…,其中主语study有两个定语:一个是介词结构by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal…,另一个是which引导的非限定性定语从句。谓语动词suggests后面的that 引导一个宾语从句。
【讲词】 suggest基本意思表示“建议”,所跟的从句常用虚拟语气。
It was suggested that English should be the only language spoken in the European Parliament.(有人建议欧洲议会只使用英语。)在suggest后面的从句中,英国人一般会用should+动词原形,而美国人只用动词原形。当然suggest后面跟从句并不一定表示“建议”。
I never suggested that anyone has lied or should lie.(我从没有表示过有人说过谎,或者应该说谎。)suggest还可以表示“暗示,唤起”。
The arrangement of these pillars strongly suggests unity and support.(这些柱子的排列强烈暗示团结和支持。)
His silence could only suggest disapproval.(他的沉默只能暗示反对。)另外,suggest有“要求;提醒”的意思。
Such a crime suggests punishment.(对这样一桩犯罪应该给予惩罚。)
    2. However,when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.

【译文】 但是,当两个猴子被放在隔开但相邻的两个房间里,能够互相看见对方用石头换回来什么东西时,猴子的行为就会变得明显不同。
【析句】 本句是一个复合句,开始是when引导的时间状语从句,其中包含so that 引导的目的状语从句,而observe后面又是what引导的宾语从句;最后是主句their behavior become markedly different。
【讲词】 so that是一个连接词,在英语中十分常见,可以表示目的。
How do you raise your children so that they will have healthy relationships?(你怎样培养孩子,以便使他们能够建立健康的个人关系呢?)
markedly意为“明显地,显著地”,其形容词形式为marked。
He showed a marked lack of interest.(他表现出明显的兴趣不足。)
