长难句在考研英语的试卷可谓无处不在,在上一次的讨论中,我们发现,很多英语中的很多句子都是可以化成一个句子:I love you. 也就是说,世界上的千言万语都汇成了这一话:我爱你。这是不是在提醒我们要经常说这三个字呀?还记得上一次我们拿那篇可谓前无古人,后无来者考试试卷中例子分析吗?还记得看句子的具体方法吗:抓主干,找主句的的主谓。逐一分析,我们继续:
Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of double effect, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.
这句话超长,我们利用以前的知识,先过滤掉一些信息,比如一眼看到的从句:Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide,,比如前面说过的插入语 a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen ,这么,就剩下了: the Court in effect supported the medical principle of double effect, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect. 再试着过滤一些信息,比如隐藏的从句that an action having two effects is permissible ,比如熟悉的if 从句:if the actor intends only the good effect,那么二次过滤后,就剩下了:the Court in effect supported the medical principle of double effect, a centuries-old moral principle,接下来第三次过滤:the Court in effect supported the medical principle of double effect, a centuries-old moral principle,去掉in effect,medical ,of double effect, ,就只剩下了the Court supported principle,a centuries-old moral principle.而这个 a centuries-old moral principle是什么呢?它不就是对前面这个principle的再次解释,这不就是我们所谓的同位语,那么这句话是不是就只剩下了the Court supported principle这个主干呢?是不是一个很典型的主谓宾呢?是不是咱们说一千到一万的:我爱你!
所以,归纳一句话:抓主干,找主句的主谓,就找I love you.
现在,同学们对这些长句子是不是有点感觉呢,接下来的几个句子留给大家思考,我们下次继续讨论!但在下一次的讨论中,我们会继续深入,会将各个成分给大家逐一分析,但我们的原则始终是抓主干,找主句的主谓,就找I love you。我们会以这样的方式来进行:
Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago,
1 2 3 4 5
todays peopleespecially those born to families who have lived in the U.S. for many
6 7
generationsapparently reached their limit in the early 1960s.(2008年Text3)
7 8 9
1状语2状语3表语4状语5状语6主语7状语8谓语9状语
【参考译文】虽然现在人们比140年前高了2英寸,特别是那些出生在已移民美国很多代的那些人,但是明显的,在二十世纪60年代早期,已经到达了他们的身高的极限。
