考研英语题目练习中可能会遇到一些看不懂的句子,并非是句子中有生僻的词汇,而是我们对句子语法结构不够了解。遇到不懂的句子要静下心来分析其语法结构,问题也就迎刃而解了。
先不要看解析,看看太奇小编今天推荐的这几个句子能否看懂。
1. Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent,he shows that the slaves’preference,revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent,was very much for stable monogamy.
难句类型:插入语
译文:虽然古特曼承认,由于奴隶买卖而造成的被迫离散甚为频繁,但他还是证明,奴隶的偏爱——在那些奴隶买卖并不频繁的种植园上被最为显著地揭示出来——在很大程度上侧重于稳定的一夫一妻制(monogamy)。解释:本句中插入语的使用revealed most clearly on plantations where sale wa infrequent, 后半个分句中的主语that slaves' preference与系动词was离得太远,造成阅读的困难。
2. Gutman argues convincingly that the stability of the Black family encouraged the transmission of-and so was crucial in sustaining-the Black heritage of folklore,music,and religious expression from one generation to another,a heritage that slaves were continually fashioning out of their African and American experiences.
难句类型:复杂修饰、插入语
译文:古特曼人令人信服地论辨道,黑人家庭的稳定有助于包括民间传说、音乐、及宗教表达在内的黑人文化遗产一代一代传递下去,因而在维持文化遗产方面也起着至关重要的作用,而对于这种文化遗产,黑奴们不断地从其非洲和美洲的经历中予以丰富发展。
解释:由that引导的宾语从句中,encouraged的宾语the transmission of the Black heritage被同时表示并列和转折的and so 分开,给读者造成了阅读上和理解上的困难。最后一个逗号后面的部分是修饰前面的black heritage的同位语。
