一、拆分英语长难句三原则
1. 并列转折原则
长难句由于句子较长，多表现为并列结构。可以破折号、分号、并列连词and或or、转折连词but、yet、while等为切入点，将各个长句断为分句。
2. 主句从句原则
各种从句的交替出现是长难句的显著特点之一，我们可以从各种从句的标志性引导词入手(定语从句的关系代词或副词
who，whom，whose，which，that，as，when，where，while，how;名词性从句的关系代词或关系副词
who，whom，which，what，that，whether，when，where，why，how等;状语从句的
when，as，since，until，before，after，where，because，though，although，so
that等)将各个分句断为主句和从句。
3. 短语成分原则
无论是主句还是从句，都是由词和短语构成的。其中，介词短语或者不定式短语由于充当定语或状语的枝叶成分而成为我们解决的重点。常见的介词有on, in,
with, at, of, to,
by等;而不定式短语的标志词是to(后接动词原形)。找出并暂时去掉介词短语或不定式短语能帮助我们迅速抓住句子的主干，而将其妥善还原，则有利于对句子的正确理解。
二、长难句举例

or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that inpidual different from
others.
(2)And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also
much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to the next job

(2)Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war from the premise

(3)It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise
moment when the speaker reestablishes eye contact; if they are not looking , the

contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation.

(1)And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment
during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given
that many passengers want to work during flights.
(2)It sounds like “learning to drive a car”, that is, it sounds as if there

computer.
(3)A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this
