2009年考研英語輔導(dǎo)之長難句分析

字號:

問:I cant commit myself to any further expense;my means are streched to the utmost as it is.請分析后面半句中as在此的用法。
    Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not litmited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress thehow toaspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, and implications.此句中有很多分句,要翻譯此句該從哪里下手?
    解:I can’t commit myself to any further expense;my means are stretched to the utmost as it is.
    這里commit oneself to 意思為致力于,means 指收入,短語as it is/was 意思為根據(jù)現(xiàn)在/這時的情況看,就以現(xiàn)在樣子.全句話的意思為:我不能再有任何花費了,據(jù)現(xiàn)在的情況來看,我的收入已經(jīng)極度緊張了。
    Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not litmited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress thehow toaspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, and implications.
    本句主要注意句中的插入語,您可以先將插入語暫時撇去,在翻譯時再加上即可。整個句子由一些插入語分割開,造成了閱讀上的一定難度。其實books,journalism and broadcasting handbooks,reporting texts是一個層次的概念,而how toaspects,conceptual aspects,context and implications是另一個層次的概念。本句的主語是books,謂語是stress.本句可譯為:大部分書,主要是,但又不限于,新聞廣播方面的手冊和報告文章,或者這些書的幾個章節(jié),把重點放在新聞采訪如何做這些方面,而不是放在新聞采訪的概念方面或放在上下文及其關(guān)聯(lián)上。
    問:These proposals sought to place greater restrictions on the use and copying of digital information than the ( ) in traditional media.
    選項是A exist B exists C existing D to exist .答案是A.解釋是相當與下面的句子:These proposals sought to place greater restrictions than the restrictions that exist in traditional media.我認為他的解釋有道理,但是是不是用existed 更好呢?那樣我認為時態(tài)會更一致,您說呢?
    解:本題答案選A exist.正如答案解析一樣,本題涉及than引導(dǎo)的比較狀語從句的省略問題。在greater……than的結(jié)構(gòu)中,than引導(dǎo)的是限制性定語從句,相等于than those which exist in traditional media.這里不用existed,因為在傳統(tǒng)媒介中存在的限制,這是一種現(xiàn)實存在的現(xiàn)象,應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在時態(tài),如果用了existed,那說明這種現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)不存在了,與句意不符。所以本題選A.
