雅思阅读长难句分析：2


Whether the Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force.

要点：句子的框架是Whether …or… often depends on …。Whether … or 引导了主语从句作句子的主语，financing 这里根据上下文要译成“经费投入”；介词结构 of which is seen as the driving force 是宾语 the issue 的后置定语，of 介词结构中又包含了which 引导的介词宾语从句。

译文：政府究竟是以减少对技术的经费投入来增加对纯理论科学的经费投入还是相反，这往往取决于把哪一方看作是驱动的力量。


容易误译的英语
It was zero hour and the surgeon began the operation on him.

[误译] 零时，外科医生开始为他动手术。

[愿意] 关键时刻，外科医生开始为他动手术。

[说明] 本例的zero hour (名词)不是“零时”而是“关键时刻”，“决定性时刻”，“紧要关头”。
