震撼了我,生命是照亮天空灿若星子的烟花,短暂且急促,没有日子可以改写,可以重来,

改版前不得不说的废话:
针对08年研英翻译复习的本节目暂时告一段落了,但是并不代表此后的节目与之前的脱了钩。
改版后的“不得不恋”是对08年的补充和开拓,各位朋友可以翻看去年的节目对比着练习,
不一定要多多益善而是择优选用。今天介绍的关于长句翻译的步骤可以参看本节目第一、二期

长难句在考研阅读、完型填空和翻译中的出现频率很高,无论句子有多长、结构有多复杂,它都由
一些基本的成分组成的。从结构来说,英语句子中,除了谓语之外,其它的成分均可以由从句或者
非谓语动词来充当。从句子本身是一个完整的句子,因此,从句与从句之间的关系可能包孕、套嵌,
也可能并列,平行。从功能来说,英语有三大复合句,即:①名词性从句,包括主语从句、宾语从句、
表语从句和同位语从句;②形容词性从句,即我们平常所说的定语从句;③状语从句。非谓语动词可以
有自己的时态和语态(过去分词除外),也可以跟自己的逻辑主语、宾语、状语等成分,构成一个非
谓语动词结构。由于非谓语动词和从句的这些特点,使英语句子从理论上讲可以无限延长。
英语长句的分析方法:去枝叶,留主干。
1) 划出句子中的定语从句和状语从句;
2)划出所有介词短语(位于be动词后的除外);
3) 名词性从句看作一个整体,找出句中所有的谓语结构、非谓语结构、介词短语和从句的引导词;
4) 非谓语动词结构看作一个整体;
5)找出全句的主语、谓语和宾语,即句子的主干;
6) 分析从句的结构和非谓语动词的内部结构。
长难句分析的步骤举例:
经典例题(2001年考研完型填空第二段)
In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord
Chancellor, will introduce a draft bill that will propose making payments to
witnesses illegal and will strictly control the amount of publicity that can be given
to a case before a trial begins.
分析:
第一,划出定语从句和状语从句: that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and
will strictly control the amount of publicity /that can be given to a case /before a trial begins.
第二,划出介词短语:In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press
第三,句子的结构分析:
(1)主干结构是主语(Lord Irvine含同位语the Lord Chancellor)+将来时谓语(will introduce)
+宾语(a draft bill);
(2)that引导的定语从句修饰draft bill,其中,will propose是第一个谓语,making payments to
witnesses illegal是一个动名词短语做宾语,在动名词短语内部,payments to witnesses做making的
宾语,illegal是宾补;第二个谓语是will strictly control, the amount of publicity是它的宾语。
that can be given to a case before a trial begins是孕含有一个时间状语从句(before a trial begins)
的定语从句,修饰publicity。

1) This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult
to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it
possible to combine few farmers with high yields.
2 )The world we live in is a hectic and chaotic place, often seemingly
random and without order, and for many of us ,the only way to have some
semblance of control over our lives is to schedule and plan our days away.
We plan for the future , we sane our pennies for a rainy day, we
become workaholics in preparation for days to come. We set goals and
create for ourselves strict regimes , which we adamantly abide by.
While this can all be integral to achieving our most desired dreams ,
it’s important to take the time to step back and smell the roses.
Seize the moment and live life in the now before it slowly slips
away from you. 3) Life is a series of moments, each an opportunity
for true happiness, and every moment that we don’t take advantage
of ,living life to its fullest , is a moment wasted. Seize the moment, my friends!
