2018年考研英語(yǔ):長(zhǎng)難句練習(xí)及解析(12)

字號(hào):

To make the technology as simple as possible, Sony, HP, and other vendors are finally creating software that can be used across all their devices—be it PCs, TVs,or set—top boxes.
    【核心詞匯】
    simple a.簡(jiǎn)單的,單純的
    software n.軟件 device n.裝置,策略
    【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句首的不定式短語(yǔ)To make the technology as simple as possible作全句的目的狀語(yǔ)。主句是Sony, HP, and other vendors are finally creating software,that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句 that can be used across all their devices修飾software,第二個(gè)破折號(hào)之后的top boxes解釋說明software,兩個(gè)破折號(hào)之間的be it PCs, TVs,or set采用了whether...or...引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句省略whether的特殊形式。
    【參考譯文】為了讓科技盡可能的簡(jiǎn)單,索尼、惠普和其他銷售者最終開發(fā)了可以在所有裝置上使用的軟件——不論是個(gè)人電腦、電視機(jī)或是數(shù)字解碼器——機(jī)頂盒。
