2016考研英语长难句解析（11）

考研网

His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the
obligation of revealing in as obvious a manner as possible the course of
reasoning which led him to his decision.
    词汇突破：
    analogous 类似于
    Obligation 义务
    Manner 方式
    Reason 推理
    Reveal 揭示(在这个句子中最好翻译为“展示”)
    Function 在这个语境中应该是“职责”
    句子主干：His function is analogous to that of a judge.
    (各位在问为什么要有that of; analogous是有比较含义的词，所以比较对象要工整!that=function)
    其他成分：who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a manner as
possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.定语从句
    微观分析：who=judge 或者就是前面的he,因为两人的职责是类似的所以指代谁都是一样的。
    这个部分的难点在于你要识别出revealing的宾语
    revealing the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.
    in as obvious a manner as possible做的是状语，回想一下昨天我们是怎么处理的：
    in a manner as obvious as possible
    用尽可能明显的方式;
    ( ，in the manner of a hero ,用一种英雄的方式)
    后面的which led him to his
decision修饰过程，你问我为什么不修饰reasoning，你自己翻译就知道不通顺了，这是语法解决不了的二义性，从语法上讲都是可以的时候就只有看语境了。
    参考译文：他的职责与法官相似，他必须承担这样的责任：用尽可能明了的方式来展示自己做出决定的推理过程。
