难句剖析:
难句1
It's not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.
[分析] 此句主干是"It's not obvious...",其中It是形式主语,how the capacity...suits one to answer questions...是真正的主语,不定结构to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns 作capacity的定语,that引导的定语从句that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers作questions的定语。
[译文]设想物体、判断数字类型的能力如何使一个人能够回答难倒了一些最杰出的诗人和哲学家的问题,这种关系并不明显。
难句2
In his article "How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?", Sternberg notes that traditional test best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success.
[分析]此句主干是"...Sternberg notes that..." ,that引导的宾语从句的主干是traditional tests bestassess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge,句末的components...作creativity and practical knowledge的同位语,说明它们的作用,形容词结构critical to problem solving and life success后置作components的定语。
[译文]在其名为《智商测试有多智能》这篇文章中,斯顿伯格指出,传统的测试最恰当地评估了分析能力和语言表达能力,但没有测量创造力和实践能力,这些也是解决问题、在生活中取得成功的关键因素。
难句3
Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under lowstress conditions, but under high stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership-that is, it predicted the opposite.
[分析]此句主干是"Research has found that...",found之后的that引导的宾语从句的主干是IQ predicted leadership skills when...,but under...IQ was negatively correlated with leadership,句末破折号之后的部分对前面but之后的部分进行解释。
[译文]研究发现,如果在低压力状况下进行智商测试,那么这种测试就可以预测领导才能,但是,在高压力状况下,智商测试所得的结果与领导才能的关系则为负相关,也就是说,它预测的结果与事实是相反的。
难句4
Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test taking skill also matters, whether it's knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.
[分析]此句是一个复合句,开始是主句:anyone...will testify that...,其中定语从句who has toiled through SAT作anyone的定语,宾语从句testtaking skill also matters作testify的宾语;whether引导一个让步状语从句whether it's knowing...or...。
[译文]任何经历过学术水平测验考试的人都会认为,应试技巧也很重要,无论是知道何时应该进行推测还是知道应该忽略什么题目。
