導語:對于每一個英語句子的翻譯, 并不只是使用一種翻譯方法, 而是多種翻譯方法的綜合運用。那么在掌握了一定程度的翻譯技巧以后,就要開始足量的翻譯練習,才可以在翻譯的路上走遠哦。小編為大家整理了一些英語句子翻譯練習,隨其附上的還有相應(yīng)的譯文和答案哦
英語句子翻譯練習 篇1
1. That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted. (難度系數(shù)5,下同)
2. 譯文:那種性別比例能在最大程度上增加一個個體所能擁有的后代數(shù)量,并因此能在最大程度上增加所傳遞到后代身上去的基因復制品的數(shù)量。 難句類型:倒裝、省略
a本句的正常語序應(yīng)當是:That sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendnts an individuall will have and hence the number of gene copies transmited will be favored.但是因為主語That sex ratio之后的以which引導的修飾它的定語從句,如果按照以上語序,則有頭重腳輕之感。所以原文將此長長的從句倒裝成謂語will be favored之后。
b在which引導的從句中,有兩處省略:第一處在maximize 的第一個賓語the number of descendants that an individuall will have中, an individuall will have是修飾descendants的定語從句,但是,因為descendants在從句中作have的賓語,所以引導詞 that 可以省略。第二處省略是在第二個 the number of 之前,省略了與前面一樣的成分 that sex ratio which maximizes. And hence在此表示后面的成分作為前面“最大化一個個體的后代的數(shù)目的”結(jié)果。 意群訓練:That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted. 2. (This is)A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower .(5++)
難句類型:復雜+倒裝+省略;
(這是一種)照亮現(xiàn)實的欲望,此欲望從來就不會唐突的取代后面的那種欲望,后者是我們可以將其部分的理解為一個兼任小說加和科學家的人想要去準確并具體的記錄下一朵花的結(jié)構(gòu)和文理的那種意義上的欲望。
A、 這句話讀起來別扭的第一個原因,是因為它根本就不是一個句子。句首省略了this is 。這種用一個詞代替一個句子的方式如果在書面語中出現(xiàn),只能出現(xiàn)在高級英語中,因此我們以前的英語學習中從未遇到過。其形式類似于我們中文的“精彩”是“這句話真是精彩”的省略形式。
B、 desire后跟著兩個大的修飾成分,一個是to throw over reality a light,其中的a light 是被倒裝到了over reality 之后,正常應(yīng)是throw a light over reality.不過這個便裝部分與throw距離不遠,讀者看得還算懂。關(guān)鍵是第二個修飾成分。注意:從that開始直到句尾結(jié)束的長長的定語從句不是修飾其前的light的,而是修飾一開始的desire的。
C、 第二個修飾成分中又來了一個倒裝,由于作者為了強調(diào)never,所以將其提前,引發(fā)了定語從句中的倒裝:正常語序應(yīng)該是that might never be given away,倒裝后系動詞was被提前,given因為在情態(tài)動詞might之后所以變成了原型give。A give way to B,是A讓位于 B,而A be given way to B, 則是A取代 B。on the part of 之后的部 分修飾后面的 desire,what 引導的從句現(xiàn)場閱讀時可以看成一個名詞。What 從句中的不定式 to recored exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower中又有一個避免頭重腳輕的倒裝,正常語序應(yīng)該是to recored the structure and texture of a flower exactly and concretely。D、 就算能夠看懂這句話的結(jié)構(gòu),可能仍然理解不了意思。本句的意思是,哈代(注:人名老的沖動是一種簡單的、說明現(xiàn)實的欲望,新沖動是一種即是小說家又像科學家的仔細研究一個東西的特點那樣的欲望(新沖動),前一種欲望是永遠也不能取代后者的。
意群訓練:(This is )A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower .
3. Hardy’s weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones. (3)
難句類型:復雜修飾、省略、抽象詞
譯文:哈代的缺陷一方面緣起于他的某種明顯的無能,無法控制好那結(jié)不盡相同的創(chuàng)作沖動的穿梭往來;另一方面緣起于他不愿意去培養(yǎng)和維持那些富于生機活力和風險性強的創(chuàng)作沖動。
解釋:介詞from的賓語有兩個并列的部分,由and所連接,在and之后的第二個from前, 省略了前面一樣的謂語動詞derive。本句之所以難,有兩個原因,一是 derived from 后面的成分太長,初學者難以一下子看下來;二是作為一篇文科文章,用詞抽象,難以迅速理解。
意群訓練:Hardy's weakenss derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energyetic and risky ones.
4. Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics,since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness. (5)
難句類型:復雜修飾、省略、抽象詞
譯文:弗吉尼亞.伍爾夫(Virginia Woolf)在創(chuàng)作《黛洛維夫人》(Mrs. Dalloway)時有關(guān)其創(chuàng)作意圖的這番發(fā)人深思的陳述,迄今為止一貫為文學評論家們所忽略,因為它突出反映了她諸多文學興趣中某一方面,而這一方面則與人們對“詩性”小說家(poetic novelist)所形成的傳統(tǒng)見解大相徑庭。所謂的“詩性”小說家,所關(guān)注的是審視想入非非和白日夢幻的諸般狀態(tài),并致力于追尋個體意識的通幽曲徑。
解釋:本句逗號以前只有復雜修飾的長主語有些難,但總的來講比較好懂,since 引導的原因狀語從句較難。
A、 since 之后的it指前面的statement,highlight的賓語an aspect之后有兩個修飾成分,一個是of her literary interests, 另一個是以that引導的定語從句that is very different from the traditional picture of the poetic novelist,都是修飾an aspect的。Novelist后面又有由and 連接的兩個介詞結(jié)構(gòu)concerned with doing 修飾novelist.
B、 句中有兩處省略,一是在her literary interests that is very different from 當中,修飾interests的定語從句中引導詞+be that is 一起省略了。第二處在and之后,由于concerned with與前面的concerned with 重復,所以 concerned被省略。
C、 本句另外一個難懂的地方,就是使用了大量的抽象詞。這是文學市評論題材的文章的一個特點。
意群訓練:Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics,since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.
5. As she put it in The Common Reader , “It is safe to say that not a single law has been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wrote ; and yet , as we read him , we are absorbing morality at every pore .” (5-)
抽象詞、抽象詞組、比喻 就像她在《致普通讀者》一書中所表達的那樣,“盡管可以毫無疑問的說,沒有任何法律被指定出來,也沒有任何高樓大廈被建立起來是因為喬叟說了什么或者寫了什么;然而,當我們讀它的書的時候,我們身上每一個毛孔都充滿了道德” 這句話不但用了詞抽象,還用了比喻的修辭手法。是指沒有因為喬叟的言論而產(chǎn)生任何實際的行為規(guī)則或政治機構(gòu),但我們受其影響之深,以及其影響力之大。
意群訓練:As she put it in The Common Reader , “It is safe to say that not a single law has been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wrote ; and yet , as we read him , we are absorbing morality at every pore .”
6. With the conclusion of a burst activity , the lactic acid level is high in the body fluids , leaving the large animal vulnerable to attack until the acid is reconverted , via oxidative metabolism , by the liver into glucose , which is then sent (in part )back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis (4+)
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語、專有名詞
譯文:隨著爆發(fā)出來的運動的結(jié)束,再體液中乳酸含量會變得很高,使得大型動物處于容易受到攻擊的狀態(tài),直到乳酸通過有氧新陳代謝,被肝臟轉(zhuǎn)化成(convert into)葡萄糖,而葡萄糖接下來又會(部分)傳送回肌肉中重新合成糖原 。
解釋:本句中修飾成分極多,以分詞修飾和介詞結(jié)構(gòu)修飾為主,作各種類型的狀語。前面的狀語和主句還好理解,從leaving開始句子變難;leaving 引導的.直到句末的結(jié)構(gòu)來做整個句子的狀語;分詞中又包含了三個狀語,其中的兩個 via oxidative metabolism by the liver又起到了插入語的作用,把be converted into拆成兩段。本句的另外一個特征是其中充斥著專有名詞。其中的body fluids, oxidative和resynthesis通過字面的意思或者根據(jù)詞頭、詞根我們還是應(yīng)該猜出其意思的, lactic acid, metabolism 和 muscle 這三個詞在生物類文章中極其常用,大家應(yīng)該背下來;而 glycogen 這種東西則沒辦法,只能作一個首字母提煉。但是請記住,GRE 和 GMAT 文章中只要出現(xiàn)了這種專有名詞,出題者是一定會在文章中把它在文章中所乃至的詞義解釋清楚的,所以讀者遇到文章中做了解釋的專有名詞,應(yīng)該力求把解釋看懂。
意群訓練:With the conclusion of a burst activity , the lactic acid level is high in the body fluids, leaving the large animal vulnerable to attack until the acid is reconverted , via oxidative metabolism , by the liver into glucose , which is then sent (in part )back to the muscles for glycogen resynthesis .
7. Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent,he shows that the slaves’
preference,revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent,was very much for stable monogamy. (3+)
難句類型:插入語
譯文:雖然古特曼承認,由于奴隸買賣而造成的被迫離散甚為頻繁,但他還是證明,奴隸的偏愛——在那些奴隸買賣并不頻繁的種植園上被最為顯著地揭示出來——在很大程度上側(cè)重于穩(wěn)定的一夫一妻制(monogamy)。解釋:本句中插入語的使用revealed most clearly on plantations where sale wa infrequent, 后半個分句中的主語that slaves' preference與系動詞was離得太遠,造成閱讀的困難。
意群訓練: Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent, he shows that the slaves’ preference,revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent,was very much for stable monogamy.
8. Gutman argues convincingly that the stability of the Black family encouraged the transmission of-and so was crucial in sustaining-the Black heritage of folklore,music,and religious expression from one generation to another,a heritage that slaves were continually fashioning out of their African and American experiences. (4)
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
譯文:古特曼人令人信服地論辨道,黑人家庭的穩(wěn)定有助于包括民間傳說、音樂、及宗教表達在內(nèi)的黑人文化遺產(chǎn)一代一代傳遞下去,因而在維持文化遺產(chǎn)方面也起著至關(guān)重要的作用,而對于這種文化遺產(chǎn),黑奴們不斷地從其非洲和美洲的經(jīng)歷中予以豐富發(fā)展。
解釋:由that 引導的賓語從句中,encouraged的賓語the transmission of the Black heritage被同時表示并列和轉(zhuǎn)折的and so 分開,給讀者造成了閱讀上和理解上的困難。最后一個逗號后面的部分是修飾前面的black heritage的同位語。
意群訓練:Gutman argues convincingly that the stability of the Black family encouraged the transmission of-and so was crucial in sustaining-the Black heritage of folklore,music,and religious expression from one generation to another,a heritage that slaves were continually fashioning out of their African and American experiences.
9. This preference for exogamy,Gutman suggests,may have derived from West African rules governing marriage,which,though they differed from one tribal group to another,all involved some kind of prohibition against unions with close kin. (3+)
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
譯文:古特曼表示,這種對于外部通婚的偏愛很有可能緣起于西部非洲制約著婚姻的規(guī)定,盡管這些規(guī)定在一個和另一個部落群體之間不盡相同,但都涉及到某種對近親聯(lián)姻(union with close kin)的禁止。 解釋:本句有兩個插入語,第一個插入語Gutman suggests割裂了主句的主語和謂語。West African rules后跟著兩個修飾成分,第一個是分詞修飾(governing
marriage), 第二個是以which引導的非限定性定語從句,從句中出現(xiàn)了第二個插入語though they differed from one tribal group to another,又割裂了從句引導詞與謂語之間的聯(lián)系。
意群訓練:This preference for exogamy,Gutman suggests, may have derived from West African rules governing marriage,which,though they differed from one tribal group to another,all involved some kind of prohibition against unions with close kin.
10. His thesis works relatively well when applied to discrimination against Blacks in the United States,but his definition of racial prejudice as "racially-based negative prejudgments against a group generally accepted as a race in any given region of ethnic competition," can be interpreted as also including hostility toward such ethnic groups as the Chinese in California and the Jews in medieval Europe.(4+)
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語、抽象詞
譯文:該社會學家的命題當被應(yīng)用于針對美國黑人的歧視時,相對而言尚能適用,但他對種族偏見所下的定義——即“以種族為基礎(chǔ)的、針對某個群體的消級的先入之見,而該群體在任何特定的種族競爭地區(qū)則被普遍認作一種族”——可被理解成同樣也襄括了針對加利福尼亞州的中國人以及中世紀的猶太人這樣一些種族群體的敵視態(tài)度。解釋:本句長度驚人,插入部分比較長,再加上不乏抽象詞,所以較為難懂,在表示轉(zhuǎn)折的后半個分鐘中,長長的插入語 as raciallybased negative prejudgments against a group generally accepted as a race in any given region of thnic competition作為主語his definition of racial prejudice 的同位語,使分句中的主謂相隔千山萬水。除此之外,本句用詞抽象,語義難以理解,對讀者的詞匯功底要求較高。考試現(xiàn)場如無法讀懂,宜用合理化原則中的取非讀法,but之前的分句說的是其論點對美國黑人的種族歧視是較為管用,轉(zhuǎn)折后的內(nèi)容就應(yīng)該說其理論對華人和猶太人相對無用。 意群訓練:His thesis works relatively well when applied to discrimination against Blacks in the United States,but his definition of racial prejudice as "racially-based negative prejudgments against a group generally accepted as a race in any given region of ethnic competition," can be interpreted as also including hostility toward such ethnic groups as the Chinese in California and the Jews in medieval Europe.
11. Such variations in size,shape,chemistry,conduction speed,excitation threshold,and the like as had been demonstrated in nerve cells remained negligible in significance for any possible correlation with the manifold dimensions of mental experience.(5)
難免類型:復雜修飾
譯文:類似于這些已經(jīng)被在神經(jīng)細胞中證明的在大小、形狀、化學過程、產(chǎn)生的速度、興奮閾值及其類似的方面上所發(fā)生變化,當他們被用來與大腦的體驗以可能的方式聯(lián)系起來的時候,他們在重要性上仍然是微不足道的。解釋:即使是初練難免的人其實也很熟悉such thing as something這樣的語言方式,可是當中間的小東西thing 居然變成了一個長達十二個單詞的大東西的時候,實在令人搞不清后面的as 及其后的something 到底為哪方神圣。再加上以such as 為中心的長主語距離系動詞remain太遠,更增加了本句的難度。請讀者反復閱讀,直到讀出這樣的感覺:順序閱讀原文時,原文似乎就是幾大塊,就好像是such things as a remain negligible in a certain sense.
意群訓練:Such variations in size, shape, chemistry, conduction speed, excitation threshold, and the like as had been deomnstrated in nerve cells remained negligible in significance for any possible correlation with the manifld dimensions of mental experience.
12. It was possible to demonstrate by other methods refined structural differences among neuron types ; however , proof was lacking that the quality of the impulse or its condition was influenced by these differences , which seemed instead to influence the developmental patterning of the neural circuits .(5)
有可能通過其他方法來證明神經(jīng)元種類間的細微的結(jié)構(gòu)差異;可是,這樣的證據(jù)是缺乏的,即神經(jīng)沖動的性質(zhì)或者狀態(tài)是受這些差異所影響的,而這些差異看起來卻能影響神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)育模式。難免類型:復雜修飾、倒裝 。
解釋:與很多人的印象相反,lack從來就不能作形容詞,它只有動詞或名詞的詞性。其形容詞的形式是lacking,意思是缺乏的、不足的。本句的在 however 之前和之后的兩個分句,是兩個倒裝結(jié)構(gòu),前一個是小倒裝,正常語序是:to demonstrate refined structural differences among neuron types by other methods: however后面是個大倒裝,lacking之后的that引導的同位語人名是修飾主語proof的,但是因為它太長,所以為了避免頭重腳輕,被放到lacking之后,正常的語序應(yīng)該是proof that the quality of ..was lacking
意群訓練:It was possible to demonstrate by other methods refined structural differences among neuron types; however, proof was lacking that the quality of the impulse or its condition was influenced by these differences, which seemed instead to influence the developmental patterning of the neural circuits.
13. Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly disproved,the doctrine was generally abandoned in favor of the opposing view,namely,that nerve impulses are essentially homogeneous in quality and are transmitted as "common currency" throughout the nervous system. (4)
盡管在神經(jīng)能量上存在著質(zhì)的不同,這一點從來都沒有在嚴格的意義上被反對過,但是以上教條通常被拋棄掉,而轉(zhuǎn)向相反的觀點,即:神經(jīng)沖動從根本上本質(zhì)相同,而且被當作“一種普通流”在整個神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)中傳播。
難句類型:復雜修飾、雙重否定
解釋:前半個分句中有一個雙重否定,was never rigidly disproved,這種表示法用中文說出來還是比較好懂的,原因是我們熟悉中文的這種表示法,但在英文中出現(xiàn),因為在以前的學習中見得少,所以感覺上很別扭。因此,同學們的任務(wù),就是通
過反復閱讀此類句子來熟悉這樣的英語。其實在英文表達中,很多雙重否定與中文表達是樣的,表示肯定;如not unlimited就等于limited。但是值得讀者注意的是在GRE和GMAT 這兩種對考生的邏輯有苛刻要求的考試中,如果這種雙重否定中所涉及的概念不是 dichotomous(即二分法的詞匯,比如上面例子中的 limited 和 unlimited),則雙重否定不一定表示肯定;比如本例中的not disprove, 不能理解為agree, 不反對者中,的確有人會同意,但通常心存疑慮,隨大流者居多。不但如此,大雙重否定中加上限定詞以后,在否定的范圍上也有所變化,如本句的be never rigidly disproved,沒有完全被反對,不能理解為從來都被嚴格支持的,而應(yīng)該理解成從來都可能有人支持的。綜上所述,對雙重否定的句子,簡單的把其置換為肯定,不是最精確的理解。而最好的辦法,就是通過多讀、多練來熟悉其語言表達及其邏輯方式,按照其字面的表達理解成沒有完全否定,然后大腦中反應(yīng)出其目前的生存狀態(tài)是一個仍未消失的狀態(tài);這種理解才是在考試現(xiàn)場既快速又精確的理解。運用前面所說的用合理化原則中的取非讀法,可以很容易的讀出作者在后半個分句中想說前面的那種觀點被反對了。但是,初學者會對這個分句中的something be abandoned in favor of something else這種語言表達感到突然,如果理解成因為喜后者而拋棄了前者,雖然也能說得通,但是其實原文從來沒有這種因果關(guān)系,in favor of強調(diào)的是這兩種動作的同時性;拋棄了前者,而轉(zhuǎn)向后者, namely之后的內(nèi)容是前面的opposing view的同位語。
意群訓練:Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly disproved, the doctrine was generallyabandoned in favor of the oppsing view, namely, that nerve impulses are essentially homogeneous in quality and are transmitted as "common currency" throught the nervous system.
14. Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size,number,arrangement,and interconnection of the nerve cells,but as far as psycho neural correlations were concerned,the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences. (4 -)
盡管其他實驗顯示在神經(jīng)細胞的大小、數(shù)量、排列和相互連接上有一些小的差異,但是就心理-神經(jīng)的關(guān)系而言,這些感官區(qū)域彼此之間的明顯的相似性看起來比起微小的差異更為令人注目。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
解釋:在前后兩個分句之間有一個插入語as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned。在后面的分句中,主語the obvious similarities之后的、修飾主語的成分較長、以至于有很多讀者看到相隔很遠的more remarkable than時一下子反應(yīng)
不過來是什么比后者更明顯。其簡化形式應(yīng)為:similarities seemed more remarkable than differences。意群訓練:Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size, number, arrangement, and interconnection of the nerve cells, but as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned, the obvious similarities of these sensory fileds to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences.
15. Although some experiments show that,as an object becomes familiar,its internal representation becomes more holistic and the recognition process correspondingly more parallel,the weight of evidence seems to support the serial hypothesis,at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar. (4+)
雖然某些實驗表明,隨著一個物體變得熟悉起來,其內(nèi)心再現(xiàn)圖像亦更具整體感,辨認過程相應(yīng)地更趨于平行,但證據(jù)的砝碼似乎在支持序列假設(shè)(serial hypothesis),至少是對于那些不甚簡單、不甚熟悉的物體來說。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語、省略
解釋:在Although引導的分句中,謂語shows后面跟著一個長長的賓語從句,從句中先出現(xiàn)一個插入語as an object becomes familiar,之后的內(nèi)容是由and 連接的兩套并列的主謂賓。其實and前后就是兩個句子,只不過作者省略了后面的句子中與前面相同的引導詞that和謂語 become。句子中有一個生詞 holistic,其實即使不認識,也能用合理化原則猜出它是后面 serial 的反義詞、parallel 的同義詞,大約是統(tǒng)一、完整或同時的意思;其實只要能理解到其是與serial相反的意思即可。
意群訓練:Although some experiments show that,as an object becomes familiar,its internal representation becomes more holistic and the recognition process correspondingly more parallel,the weight of evidence seems to support the serial hypothesis,at least for objects that are not notably simple and familiar.
16. In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement,historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods. (3+)
在很大程度上,由于女權(quán)主義運動(feminist movement)的緣故,史學家近年來匯聚了大量的注意力,來更為準確地確定婦女在各個歷史時期的地位。 Focus A on B;
難句類型:倒裝
解釋:focus A on B指把 A集中于B,本句中介詞on的賓語determining/more accurately the status of women invarious periods中有一個小倒裝,正常語序應(yīng)該是determining the status of women in various periods more accurately。
意群訓練:In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement, historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods.
17. If one begins by examining why ancients refer to Amazons , it becomes clear that ancient descriptions of such societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical fact –real Amazonian societies – but rather to offer “moral lessons” on the supposed outcome of women’s rule in their own society . (4)
如果我們先研究一下為什么古人會提到亞馬遜人,下面的一點就變得清晰了,那就是古希臘對于這種社會的廟睡不是太多的被用來表達觀察的歷史事實——真正的亞麻遜社會的——而是為了對于婦女在其社會中的統(tǒng)治的預期后果提供一種“道德教導”。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語、抽象詞
解釋:有兩個詞匯需要先解釋一下:something be meant to represent 是use something to mean 的被動語態(tài)。mean在這里不是常用的"……的意思是"的意思,而是表示做某事所表達的目的、意圖,其英文釋義為:to serve or intend to convey,
show, or indicate。句中的結(jié)構(gòu)為: something be meant not so much to,,, but rather to, 實際是把be meant to和not rather 的兩個固定搭配套在一起,意思是:不是為了...而是為了...另外,suppose的意思很抽象,不容易理解。此詞既有據(jù)信、被認為的意思,也有預期的意思,還有表示貶義的假想的被想當然的意思。本句的supposed用法極其特殊,在此處的意思,用以上任何一個釋義來理解居然都可以成立,既是在說一個預期的社會狀態(tài),又是在說一個虛構(gòu)出來的、本來不存在的社會狀態(tài),其用法類似于中文中的一語雙關(guān),是文章作者自以為文筆精妙之處。意群訓練:If one begins by examining why ancients refer to Amazons, it becomes clear that ancient Greek descriptions ofsuch societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical fact- real Amazonian societies- but rather to offer"moral lessons" on the supposed outcome of women's rule in their own society.
18. Thus, for instance, it may come as a shock to mathematicians to learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom is not a literally correct description of this atom,but only an approximation to a somewhat more correct equation taking account of spin,magnetic dipole,and relativistic effects;and that this corrected equation is itself only an imperfect approximation to an infinite set of quantum field-theoretical equations. (5)
因此,舉例來說,對數(shù)學家而言,了解到下述情形可能會令其驚愕不已,即薛定諤(Schrodinger)的氫原子方程式并非是對該原子作出的一種絕然正確的描述,而僅僅是個近似值,趨近于一個在某種程度上更為正確的將自旋、磁性偶極子、以及相對論效應(yīng)考慮在內(nèi)的方程式;而這個得以糾正的方程式就其本身而言也只是一個不完美的近似值,趨近于無窮無盡的一整套量子場論方程式。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語、省略
解釋:讀到此句時,數(shù)學家不見得震驚,暈倒的考生恐怕不在少數(shù)。不但句子結(jié)構(gòu)復雜,而且羅列了大量的專有名詞。對于不是理科的同學來講,在閱讀這篇文章的現(xiàn)場清楚地明白應(yīng)該讀到什么程度遠比研究這些生僻的專有名詞更重要。其實是否知道薛定鄂方程對讀者來說并不見得重要,GRE 考試的出題者也不見得知道它;關(guān)鍵是要讀懂句子的主要意思;數(shù)學家不能理解不精確和近似值的偉大意義。不過在本書中,出現(xiàn)的句子均以閱讀訓練為目的,所以讀者仍要把句子的結(jié)構(gòu)讀清楚。主句中的主語it是一個開工主語,其具體的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是從to learn開始一直到句子結(jié)束的長達八行的不定式,但是此不定式實在太長,如果放在句首則句子無法平衡。Learn 后面帶著兩個以 that 引導的賓語從句,中間以分號和 and 分開,可以把分號以后的句子看成是and it may come as a shock to mathematicians to learn that的省略形式。
意群訓練:Thus, for instance, it may come as a shock to mathematiians to learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom is not a literally correct description of this atom, but only an approximation to a somewhat more correct equation taking account of spin, magnetic dipole, and relativistic effects; and that this corrected equation is itself only an imperfect approximation to an infinite set of quantum field-theoretical equations.
19. The physicist rightly dreads precise argument,since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed,whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions. (5+)
物理學家恐懼于那些精確無誤的論據(jù)不無道理,因為某種只有在它是精確無誤的條件下才令人置信的論據(jù),一旦它賴于建立其上的假設(shè)稍有變化,便會失去它一部的作用;而與此相反,一個盡管并不精確無誤但卻令人置信的論據(jù), 本假設(shè)(underlying assumption)稍微受干擾的情況下,仍然有可能是站得住腳的。
難句類型:復雜修飾
解釋:本句在文章中就是一個自然段,雖然長度比不上前面第一章中所舉的那個長達10行的例子,但是難度絕不在那句話之下。本句堪稱句子的大雜燴,連主句帶從句居然一共有八個。從大往小說,由 whereas 連接了兩個大句子,whereas 后面的句子中的主語an augument之后又跟了一個定語從句that is convincing though imprecise, 修飾augument。whereas
前面共有六個句子,由the physicist作主語的主句;由since引導的原因狀語從句,修飾since從句中主語an augument的由that引導的定語從句,此定語從句中的條件狀語從句only if it is precise; since從句中的條件狀語從句if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed,以及修飾此從句中的主語assumptions的定語從句on which it is based一共八個句子,從句套從句,實在令人嘆為觀止。然而,在考試現(xiàn)場去數(shù)句子的數(shù)目,是只有呆子才會干的事,讀者們惟一要干的事就是反復閱讀這句話,什么時候練到不必去想其語法結(jié)構(gòu)就能按原文順序讀懂,才算初步掌握;再進一步把它讀順,直到你看不出這個句子有什么特別的地方,看上
去還挺舒服就算訓練成功。
意群訓練:The physicist rightly dreads precise argument, since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed, whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions.
20. However,as they gained cohesion,the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a women’s group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres,who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon. (4-)
起初,藍襪女們確實模仿了法國沙龍女主人,將男性襄括到其小圈子中來。然則,隨著她們獲得的凝聚力,她們漸趨將自己視作一女性團體,并擁有了一種婦女團結(jié)意識,而這種意識在法國沙龍女主人身上則蕩然無存,因為她們每個人在其自己的沙龍中自視甚高而彼此孤立隔絕開來。
難句類型:復雜修飾
解釋:本句讀到表示并列的連詞 and 開始變難。and 之后的不定式與前面的不定式是并列的,to 的前面省略了一個與前面一樣的謂語came。 lacking之后的分詞作定語修飾a sense of female solidarity其后的由who引導的定語從句又修飾逗號前面的salonnieres此從句中又有一個定語從句that each salonniere held in her own salon修飾其前的 primacy,但是由于引導詞that在從句中作賓語,因此被省略。
意群訓練:However, as they gained cohesion, the Bluestocking came to regard themselves as a women's group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres, who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon.
21. As my own studies have advanced,I have been increasingly impressed with the functional
similarities between insect and vertebrate societies and less so with the structural differences that seem,at first glance, to constitute such an immense gulf between them. (5)
隨著我的研究不斷深入,我對昆蟲和脊椎動物群落之間的功能類似性印象愈來愈深刻,而對結(jié)構(gòu)上的差異印象愈發(fā)淡漠,雖然這些結(jié)構(gòu)上的差異初看上去似乎構(gòu)成了二者間一條無法愈越的鴻溝。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語、省略
解釋:本句子的中間一段impressed with the functional similarites between insect and vertebratesocieties and less so with the structural differences容易令人看暈,其中的insect and vertebrate societies and less so with由兩個and連接了三個部分,然而它們其實不是同一層次的并列,第一個and實際上是between insect societies and vertebrate societies的一部分,是并列的,而and之后的less so with其實是對于一個完整的表達方式I have been increasingly less impressed with的省略形式,去掉了與前面重復的成分。 后面修飾的structural differences的定語從句that seem, at first glance, to constitute such an immense gulf between them中,又出現(xiàn)了一個別扭的插入語at first glance,把應(yīng)該連在一起的seem to 粗暴地分開,令人不熟悉此類難句的人倍感不適。
意群訓練:As my own studies have advanced, I have been increasingly impressed with the functional similarities between insect and vertebrate societies and less so with the structural differences that seem, at first glance, to constiture such an immense gulf between them.
22. Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances , its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise.(4)雖然小說無疑起源于政治情狀,但其作者則是以非意識形態(tài)的方式對這些政治情狀作出反應(yīng)的,而將小說和故事主要地當作意識形態(tài)的工具來探討,會在相當程度上阻礙小說事業(yè)。
難句類型:復雜修飾
解釋:本句從句子的結(jié)構(gòu)上來講,惟一的難度在于 and 之后的句子的主語 talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments ofideology太長,以至于看到謂語circumvent的時候已經(jīng)搞不清楚主謂了。更的難度恐怕還在于對兩個詞匯的理解 circumvent 和 enterprise。我們以前所背過的 circumvent 有兩個詞義,一個是規(guī)避,一是以計謀戰(zhàn)勝,但是這兩種意思放到此處都顯然不通;其實 circumvent 有一個我們沒有背過的最常用的意思是包圍、限制或陷害;至于 enterprise 常用的意思是企業(yè),這里的指事業(yè)。
意群訓練:Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances,its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological,and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideologycircumvents much of the fictional enterprise.
23. Is this a defect,or are the authors working out of,or trying to forge,a different kind of aesthetic? (3)
這究竟是一種缺陷呢,還是這些作者想要按照一種與眾不同的美學體系進行創(chuàng)作,抑或是試圖創(chuàng)立一種與眾不同的美學體系?
難句類型:插入語
解釋:本句的句子既短,意思也不難理解,但插入語(or trying to forge)的干擾作用卻極強。意群訓練:Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to forge, a different kind of aesthetic?
24. In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism ; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted , a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression ?
(5)不僅如此,有些黑人小說(比如 JT 的甘蔗)的風格接近與表現(xiàn)主義和超現(xiàn)實主義;這種技巧是否為流行的主題提供了一個和諧的對應(yīng)呢?這種主題刻畫了黑人注意與之相抗爭的命運,這是一個通常用更為自然主義的表現(xiàn)手法所表達的主題。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
解釋:在本句中有三個詞需要先解釋一番:verge on這個詞組是接近于、瀕于的意思,hero在文學作品中是主人公的意思,pit作動詞時,除了挖坑、窖藏之外,還有使競爭、使斗爭的意思,其英文釋義為:to set as gamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight, to set into opposition or rivalry usually used with against.在此用的是后一種語義的被動語態(tài)fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主動語態(tài)則是:pit black heros againt fate。另外本句的結(jié)構(gòu)復雜,分號之后是一個一般疑問句,但是由于修飾成分過多,過長,使得讀者看不清楚這個句子在問什么。其實如果沒有最后的那個prevalent theme的同位語a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression,本句會易懂得多。
意群訓練:In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer's Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?
25. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels,bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.
(4)注意:bring A to B ——〉bring to B A《黑人小說》考察了極為廣泛的一系列小說,在此過程中讓我們注意到了某些引人入勝但卻鮮為人知的作品,如詹姆斯。韋爾登。約翰遜(James Weldon Johnson)的《一個曾經(jīng)是有色人的自傳》(Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man)。
難句類型:倒裝
解釋:在以bringing開頭的作狀語的分詞中出現(xiàn)了倒裝,bring A to B被倒裝為bring to B A,其倒裝的原因仍是為了避免頭重腳輕,正常的語序應(yīng)該如下:bringing some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man to our attention in the process.
意群訓練:Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.
26. Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated,to pass through,they absorb some of the longer-wavelength,infrared emissions radiated from the Earth’s surface,radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space. (4)
雖然這些分子允許可見波長(visible wavelength)的輻射——陽光的絕大部分能量就匯集于此——不受阻擋地穿透,但它們卻會吸收某些較長波長(longer-wavelength),亦即從地球表面輻射出的紅外發(fā)射(infrared emission),這種輻射若不是二氧化碳的緣故就會被重新輸送回太空。
難句類型:復雜修飾、抽象詞
解釋:前面的分句中有一個不算很長的插入語,但是因為它插入的位置正好在固定搭配allow something to do somthing中間,將allow 和to分得很遠,所以讀起來讓人感覺很不舒服。后面的分句中的最后一行radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space是其前面的infrared emissions的
同位語。其中的otherwise是副詞作狀語,表示如果后面的分句所說的they absorb some of the longer-waverlength, infrared emissions不發(fā)生時的后果。
意群訓練:Although these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated,to pass through,they absorb some of the longer-wavelength, infrared emissions radiated from the Earth's surface,radiation that would otherwise be transmitted back into space.
27. The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints—ways of feeling,thinking,and acting that "come naturally" in archetypal situations in any culture.
這些人類學家所歸諸于生物進化的作用,不是規(guī)定人類行為的種種細節(jié),而是將各種限制強加于人類——即在任何文化的典型情景中都會“自然表露”的情感、思維、以及行動方式。
難句類型:復雜修飾、省略
解釋:盡管我們很熟悉the role of something的這種表達,但本句中the role of被作者勝利很活。首先,在role后面有一個省略了引導詞that的定語從句(因為role 在從句中作ascribe的賓語),這樣就把role 和系動詞is隔得很遠。其次,but前面的句子的主要結(jié)構(gòu)The role is not of doing something其實是The role is not the role of doing something的省略形式,因為后面的 the role 與前面的完全重復,如果不把它省略掉,誰看到都要覺得啰嗦。因為同樣的道理,but 之后的 one of imposing constraints實際上是is one role of imposing constraints的省略形式。
意群訓練:The role those anthropologists ascribe to evolution is not of dictating the details of human behavior but one of imposing constraints— ways of feeling, thinking,and acting that "come naturally" in archetypal situations in any culture.
28. Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the “details” versus “constraints” distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior? (5)
以下哪一個選項最有可能為文章中所談到的與人類行為有關(guān)的“人類行為細節(jié)”相對“人類所受限制”之間的差異,從人類形態(tài)的角度上提供了一個合適的類比?
難句類型:復雜修飾、抽象詞
解釋:本句子在所有 GRE 或 GMAT 閱讀題的題干中是最難讀懂的題干之一。本句不但結(jié)構(gòu)復雜,而且用詞抽象,使得讀者 如果想根據(jù)語義來搞清楚誰修飾誰,也變得極為困難。分析如下:本句的主干是Which of the following provides an analogy
for the details versus constraints distinction?. Versus是一個介詞,等于against,即體育比賽的VS。其他的所有成分均是一些修飾成分。其中一個對答題最重要的限制條件是from human morphology, 說明這種類比的比較雙方所比的必須是人類形態(tài)上的特征。
意群訓練:Which of the following most probably provides an appropriate analogy from human morphology for the "details" versus "constraints" distinction made in the passage in relation to human behavior?
29. A low number of algal cells in the presence of a high number of grazers suggested,but did not prove, that the grazers had removed most of the algae. (3+)在存在大量食草動物的同時卻只有少量的水藻花粉囊,這暗示出——但沒能證明——食草動物已吞噬了大部分水藻。
難句類型:插入語
解釋:本句主語很長,而且謂語suggested與that引導的賓語從句間插入語but did not prove隔開,造成閱讀障礙。當
suggest與but did not prove連在一起使用的時候,其意思不是建議,而是指一種基于主觀臆測的推理,中文翻譯成“暗示”。其英文釋義為:to call to mind by though or association the explosion suggested sabotage。GRE、GMAT及LSAT文章中,常用suggest,but do not prove來描述一種沒有真憑實據(jù)、可能有問題的理論,然后在后面的敘述中把它否定掉。
意群訓練:A low number of algal cells in the presence of a high number of grazers suggested,but did not prove, that the grazers had removed most of the algae.
30. Perhaps the fact many of these first studies considered only algae of a size that could be collected in a net (net phytoplankton), a practice that overlooked the smaller phytoplankton (nannoplankton) that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on , led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subsequent research.
(5)可能這樣一個事實,那就是很多這樣的最初的研究只是考慮了那些能夠用網(wǎng)撈起來的大小的水藻,這樣一個忽視了更小的浮游生物(而這些浮游生物我們現(xiàn)在知道是捕食者主要的食物)的做法,導致了在接下來的研究中對于捕食者的作用的貶低。
難句類型:復雜修飾、插入語
解釋:句子的結(jié)構(gòu)繁雜。句子的主語令人吃驚地長,在最后一個逗號后的led以前,全是主語!其實句子的主干簡單,就是the fact led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers。但是本句的主語the fact后面的修飾成分長得嚇人,先是個定語從句;定語從句中又套了一個定語從句。然后逗號后面的a practice引導的部分是前面的主語的同位語兼任插入語,practice后面
的修飾它的一大堆東西又是定語從句套著定語從句。本句是典型的層層修飾結(jié)構(gòu)。
意群訓練:Perhaps the fact that many of these first studies considered only algae of a size that could be collected in a net(net phytoplankton), a pratice that overlooked the smaller that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on, led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subsequent research.
31. Studies by Hargrave and Geen estimated natural community grazing rates by measuring feeding rates of individual zooplankton species in the laboratory and then computing community grazing rates for field conditions using the known population density of grazers. (5)
由哈格雷夫(Hargrave)和吉恩(Geen)所進行的研究,對自然條件下的群落捕食速率進行了估計,其手段是通過測量出實驗室內(nèi)單獨的浮游動物種類的捕食速率,然后利用已知的食草動物種群密度,計算出實地狀況下的群落捕食速率。
難句類型:復雜修飾
解釋:本句對閱讀者的句子的復雜的結(jié)構(gòu),而且對讀者的詞匯能力也提出了更高的要求。 By以前結(jié)構(gòu)無需解釋,by以后有兩個作介詞賓語短語的動名詞結(jié)構(gòu),measuring和后面表示并列和順接的and then之后的computing,說的是計算方法;前一個measuring說的是先算出實驗室中浮游動物品種的單位捕食速率,后面的computing
前其實省略了一個by,而且在這個動名詞結(jié)構(gòu)中還包括一個分詞結(jié)構(gòu)using the known population density of grazers,用已知的捕食者的種群密度計算出其野外的群體捕食速率。整個的by以后的計算過程簡單了就是:實驗室單位速率×野外密度=野外群體速率.另外本句中的詞匯也頗有迷惑性;雖然沒有太難的單詞,但是很多單詞都是同義詞和反義詞,容易讓人讀混;(斜線分隔同義詞,冒號分隔反義詞) estimate/measure/compute; feeding rates/grazing rates; zooplankton/grazers; natureal/field; laboratory community; individual
意群訓練:Studies by Hargrave and Geen estimated natural community graz-ing rates by measuring feeding rates of individual zooplankton species in the laboratory and then computing community grazing ratesfor field conditions using the known population density of grazers.
32. In the periods of peak zooplankton abundance,that is,in the late spring and in the summer,Haney recorded maximum daily community grazing rates,for nutrient-poor lakes and bog lakes,respectively,of 6.6 percent and 114 percent of daily phytoplankton production. (3+)
在浮游動物數(shù)量激增的高峰期,亦即在春季后期以及夏季,哈尼記錄了最大程度上的每日群落食草比率,對于營養(yǎng)物不充足的湖和沼澤湖而言,分別為每日浮游植物繁殖量的6.6%和114%.
難句類型:插入語
解釋:句中有兩組插入語,每組兩個插入語,尤其是第二組,把rate of從中間劈開。不過因為句義尚好理解,所以本句只是有一點別扭,但不算太難。
意群訓練: In the periods of peak zooplankton abundance, that is, in the late spring and in the summer, Haney recorded maximum daily community grazing rates,for nutrient-poor lakes and bog lakes,respectively,of 6.6 percent and 114 percent of daily phytoplankton production.
