考研英语长难句复习常见问题（1）

目前考研英语基础阶段复习中，考研辅导老师收集了一些学员共有的问题，学员们在此阶段除了复习词汇外，我们还建议学员复习长难句，分析句子，理解句子的意思，目前我们收集的基本是长难句方面的问题，本文给大家整理出这些问题，希望考生认真学习，从中总结长难句分析的方法：

1. A technological advancement is gauged by the power it gives or the energy it consumes and the cost that is involved.

解析：本句的难点在于后置定语，it gives，it consumes，that is involved，把这些后置定语直接作为形容词短语放在前面就行，同时注意短语is gauged by：以...为标准。那么我们来切分意群：A technological advancement /is gauged by /the power it gives /or the energy it consumes /and the cost that is involved.逐个意群翻译，最后组合为通顺的汉语。

整句翻译为：技术改进的标准在于它所给予(或付出)的能量，它所消耗的能源以及它涉及的价值。(或投入的成本)

2、He adds humbly that perhaps he was superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.

解析：本句主要考察宾语从句，定语从句，比较及并列结构。首先我们先切分意群，He adds humbly /that perhaps /he was superior to the common run of men/ in noticing things/ which easily escape attention, and /in observing them carefully.

注意以下词汇：humbly，卑谦地，谦逊地。Superior to高于，然后逐个意群翻译，组合成较为通顺的汉语：他谦虚的补充到：或许自己在注意到容易被人忽略的事情，并对其进行仔细观察方面优于他人。

3、These peculiar elements in the make-up of man provide a long history and tradition of wisdom accumulated in various forms of civilization from which culture grows and continue flowing.

解析：本句是定语从句：主语:These peculiar elements; 谓语：provide。有两个后置定语：in the make-up of man; accumulated in various forms of; 定语从句是from which 后面。切分意群：These peculiar elements /in the make-up of man /provide/ a long history/ and tradition of wisdom /accumulated in various forms of civilization/ from which culture grows and continue flowing.

意译为：这些组成人类的独特元素历史悠久，使人类拥有形式多样的文明传统的智慧，这种人类文化源远流长。

以上便是老师给大家总结的最近学员反映较多的问题，我们给大家总结了在分析理解这些句子时要注意的几个方面，总的来说，考生在基础阶段长难句的准备是首先把词汇基础搞好，再次要熟悉常见的十种语法，然后切分意群，最后把意群的意思组合成通顺的汉语，基本的翻译的流程就是这样，希望各位考生首先把基础提高，然后根据此方法进行练习，预祝大家快乐复习!
