    托福長難句分析:深海底部環(huán)境
    Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface,the deep—ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans,in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.
    (定語后置in some ways…)
    由于完全沒有光,而且承受著比在地球表面大數(shù)百倍的極大壓力,深海底部對人類而言是一個充滿敵意的環(huán)境,在某些方面就像外層空間一樣險惡和遙遠。
    分句1:Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures
    分句2:hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface
    分句3:the deep—ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans
    分句4:in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
    分句2修飾分句1結(jié)尾的短語intense pressures,
    分句1是分句3的原因狀語
    分句3是整個長句子的主句
    分句4是分句3的后置定語,修飾分句3的a hostile environment to humans
    整個句子結(jié)構(gòu)是:原因狀語+主句+后置定語
    這是主句前后分別有狀語和定語的修飾成分,但是本句其實不是復(fù)合句。句子的核心意思是深海對于人類而言是一個充滿敵意的環(huán)境。
    托福長難句分析:核心業(yè)務(wù)外包
    Some great manufacturers and great service companies may have become too lean in their relentless drive to reduce costs, outsourcing not just their non-core activities but essential ones too.
    【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】本句不難,逗號前為主句Some great manufacturers and great service companies may have become too lean in their relentless drive to reduce costs,使用了too…to…結(jié)構(gòu),句末的現(xiàn)在分詞結(jié)構(gòu)outsourcing not just their non-core activities but essential ones too作伴隨狀語,進一步補充說明reduce costs的具體內(nèi)容。
    【參考譯文】有些大的制造商和服務(wù)供應(yīng)商熱衷于降低成本,不僅把非核心業(yè)務(wù)外包,而且連核心業(yè)務(wù)也不放過。
