Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有營養(yǎng)的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.(06.12 Passage 2)
主干:Imagine a person...
主干部分很簡短,關鍵是a person后面有5個who引導的定語從句,使句式變得復雜了。這5個who引導的從句都有相似的結構:含兩個由but 連接的謂語,前后的描述形成鮮明的對比。這樣的排比句式,加強了語氣,給讀者留下深刻印象。
譯文:想象這么一個人:他體重適中,但是并沒有吃到非常有營養(yǎng)的食物;他自我感覺還行,但只是偶爾鍛煉一下;他每天都去上班,但卻不是一個優(yōu)秀員工;他大多數(shù)晚上在家里喝一點啤酒,但卻并不醉酒駕車;他沒有胸痛的感覺,血液指數(shù)也正常,但卻嗜睡,并且經(jīng)常感到疲倦。
