新概念英語(yǔ)第四冊(cè)長(zhǎng)難句講解(15)

字號(hào):

【句型15】Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.(Lesson 6)
    【譯文】人們即使不能從具體的事例(如1936年奧運(yùn)會(huì))了解到國(guó)際運(yùn)動(dòng)比賽會(huì)導(dǎo)致極度仇恨,也能從常理中推出結(jié)論。
    【講解】本句承上句。駁論文通常包括三部分:介紹他人觀點(diǎn)并表示反對(duì);提出自己的看法;用合理的論據(jù)支持自己的看法。上句中作者介紹了別人的觀點(diǎn)并加以否定,此句即提出了自己的觀點(diǎn)international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred。本句以問(wèn)句形式出現(xiàn),“即使你不能歸納(know sth from concrete examples),難道還不能從常理中演繹(deduce)么”,說(shuō)服力極強(qiáng)。作者還援引the 1936 Olympic Games這一極為精當(dāng)?shù)睦又С肿约旱挠^點(diǎn)。本句的寫(xiě)作方法尤其值得借鑒。
