长难句是考研英语复习考生最难掌握的语法难点之一,对于长难句的掌握程度直接关系着考生在阅读理解和翻译题等题型的得分。考生需要在考研英语复习过程中多对常见的长难句结构进行解构和练习,下面跨考考研小编就带大家一起分析下历年考研英语真题中的经典长难句,以帮助大家进行理解。 It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words,all we can do is articulate our reactions to it,and not grasp music itself. 1.重点词汇及短语:
describe…with… 用……描述……
articulate 【生义】v. 清楚地表达,描述【熟义】adj. 明晰清楚的
reaction n. 反应
grasp v. 理解,领会(尤指复杂的事情或观点) 2.句子成分分析:本句为主从复合句,主干是It is also the reason...。why引导定语从句,解释说明the reason。定语从句中包含了一个时间状语从句when we try to describe music with words。关系副词why引导限定性定语从句,修饰先行词reason, 在定语从句中充当原因状语。
例如:He didn’t tell me the reason why he was so upset.从句引导词选用关系副词why还是关系代词that/which,取决于先行词reason在从句中充当的成分:先行词reason在从句中作副词性成分,应该用why。
例如:Please tell me the reason why he was late.(先行词reason在从句中作原因状语);先行词reason在从句中作名词性成分,应该用that/which。例如:Please tell me the reason that/which made him late.(先行词reason在从句中作主语) 3.参考译文:这也是为什么当我们试图用语言描述音乐时,我们只能表达出自己对音乐的感受,而无法领悟音乐本身。
