英語(yǔ)六級(jí)閱讀真題長(zhǎng)難句解析(10)

　　1. The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon. (1999. 閱讀. 6. Text 2)

　　【譯文】破壞自然資源、污染食物供應(yīng)的現(xiàn)象仍時(shí)有發(fā)生，很大程度上是因?yàn)殡y以給那些繼續(xù)肆無(wú)忌憚破壞環(huán)境的人限定法律責(zé)任。

　　【析句】復(fù)合句。主句是The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of...contimue occur。largely because of the extreme difficulty in...on those是短語(yǔ)because of+賓語(yǔ)等內(nèi)容作狀語(yǔ)表示原因。在those后who continue to treat...作定語(yǔ)從句修飾those。

　　2. Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been net by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays—not only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it. (1999. 閱讀. 6. Text 2)

　　【譯文】通過(guò)立法、經(jīng)濟(jì)刺激和友好勸說(shuō)來(lái)防治污染的努力，卻被法律訴訟、個(gè)人和企業(yè)拒絕承擔(dān)責(zé)任、長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的拖延所抵消——不僅體現(xiàn)在接受責(zé)任方面，更重要的是采取措施方面。

　　【析句】主句是Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation,economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been net by lawsuits...long delays,可以看出，這句話(huà)用了很多并列的抽象名詞表示動(dòng)作，句子雖然長(zhǎng)，但仍然是簡(jiǎn)單句。破折號(hào)后的內(nèi)容是對(duì)前句attempts的進(jìn)一步解釋, in accepting responsibility和in doing something about it兩方面的efforts。

　　3. The Times newspaper agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to "mass production methods more typical of European universities". (1999. 閱讀. 6. Text 3)

　　【譯文】《泰晤士報(bào)》對(duì)此有同感，它報(bào)怨道，由于學(xué)生人數(shù)激增，教學(xué)質(zhì)量受影響，因?yàn)閭€(gè)別指導(dǎo)不得不讓位于“歐洲大陸國(guó)家高校里慣有的大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)方式”。

　　【析句】主句The Times newspaper egress,complaining that...是動(dòng)名詞complaining+that賓語(yǔ)從句作定語(yǔ)修飾TheTimes newspaper。而賓語(yǔ)從句中，主句是quality has suffered,as student numbers soared是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，with close tutorial supervision giving way to...是with引導(dǎo)伴隨狀語(yǔ)。
