攻克考研英语长难句是英语复习的一大要务,之于翻译阅读都很有必要。长难句的理解和掌握还需要实战,在不断的学习、分析和练习中去提升,每天看一看,日积月累,增长词汇量的同时提升你的翻译阅读能力,下面来看今天的长难句分析。
2017考研英语长难句分析每日一句(659)
The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn't help
that building a big, powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations
and people striving to assert themselves.
译文:大坝给人们的教训是:大的未必就美。这并没有阻止修建高大雄伟的大坝成为那些力争得到自我肯定的国家和人民的成就标志。
点睛:第一句是个复合句,其主语是lesson,that引导的是表语从句。第二句中it是句子的形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句。在that从句中,主语是动名词短语building
a dam,而句末的分词短语striving to assert themselves作后置定语,修饰nations and people。
考点归纳:注意该句中与help相关的表达。
*it helps或it doesn't help是非常口语化的表达方式,前者意为“有所帮助,起到作用”,后者意为“帮不上忙,不起作用”。
It helps to remember that I can always look to your help.
一想到能指望你帮我,实在让我感到宽心。
It doesn't help to have assumed such an attitude.
抱着这种态度没有什么作用。
*与help相关的习惯用语还有:
1)be helped up with(口)为…所累
I couldn't run to catch the bus, as l was helped up with a lot of
parcels.
我因为拿着许多大包没法跑去赶公共汽车。
2)cannot help but不能不,不得不
l cannot help but be sorry.
我不能不感到遗憾。
3)cannot help doing不禁,忍不住,不得不
l cannot help crying.
我忍不住哭了。
4)cannot help oneself doing情不自禁,不能自制
Hearing this story,l can't help myself weeping.
听到这个故事,我忍不住哭了。
