閱讀速度大部分來于短時間內(nèi)理解長難句的能力。
大家在看長難句的時候,多思考,一個句子為什么這么長,常見的修飾成分到底有哪些?其實不多,連詞、非謂語動詞、介詞以及同位語或插入語,上過課的同學懂得。
大家別急,把一句一句弄明白,弄懂一個句子勝過模糊看懂十個句子。希望大家認真看我的分析。
今天我們來看這樣一個句子:
Her dancing also attracted the attention of French poets and painters of the period, for it appealed to their liking for mystery, their belief in art for art’s sake, a nineteenth-century idea that art is valuable in itself rather than because it may have some moral or educational benefit, and their efforts to synthesize form and content. (57, OG)
appeal v.懇求,呼吁;(對某人)有吸引力~to sb; (使某人)感興趣;上訴
for one’s sake為了…的緣故
synthesize/?s?nθ??sa?z/v. 合成,綜合
這里是分界線,先自己分析哦。
Her dancing also attracted the attention (of French poets and painters) (of the period), (for it appealed to their liking for mystery, their belief in art for art’s sake, (a nineteenth-century idea that art is valuable in itself rather than because it may have some moral or educational benefit),and their efforts to synthesize form and content.)
老邪分析:
修飾一:(of French poets and painters),介詞短語,修飾the attention。大家注意英文喜歡把修飾成分放在后面,這個很重要。
中文:法國詩人和花季。
修飾二:(of the period) ,介詞短語,修飾French poets and painters,也是放在后面哦。
修飾三:(a nineteenth-century idea that art is valuable in itself rather than because it may have some moral or educational benefit),同位語,用來解釋說明前面的belief,這個同位語語放在這里分割了原句,大家斷句的時候要注意。
中文:一個19世紀的思想:藝術(shù)本身比它所帶來的道德或教育利益更有價值。
修飾四:(for it appealed to their liking for mystery, their belief in art for art’s sake , and their efforts to synthesize formand content.),從句,表示原因,大家注意我把同位語去掉了(因為不重要),這樣更能看清重要內(nèi)容。這里有一個并列結(jié)構(gòu),是一個A, B, and C結(jié)構(gòu),不知道大家在看的時候有沒有看出來,A= their liking for mystery,B= their belief in art for art’ssake,C= their efforts to synthesize form and content,插入語解釋B。
中文:因為它吸引了他們對于神秘的喜好、他們?yōu)樗囆g(shù)而藝術(shù)的信仰以及他們把形式和內(nèi)容融合到一起所作的努力
主干:括號外面的,Her dancing also attracted the attention
參考翻譯:
她的舞蹈還吸引了當時法國一些詩人和畫家的注意,因為它吸引了他們對于神秘的喜好、他們?yōu)樗囆g(shù)而藝術(shù)的信仰(這是一個19世紀的思想:藝術(shù)本身比它所帶來的道德或教育利益更有價值)以及他們把形式和內(nèi)容融合到一起所作的努力。
這個句子的主要修飾成分就是從句和同位語,大家務(wù)必想清楚,每一個修飾成分修飾的是什么,才能看清楚這個句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
