2018年考研英語:長難句練習及解析(12)

字號:

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.簡單的,單純的
    software n.軟件 device n.裝置,策略
    【結構分析】句首的不定式短語To make the technology as simple as possible作全句的目的狀語。主句是Sony, HP, and other vendors are finally creating software,that引導的定語從句 that can be used across all their devices修飾software,第二個破折號之后的top boxes解釋說明software,兩個破折號之間的be it PCs, TVs,or set采用了whether...or...引導的讓步狀語從句省略whether的特殊形式。
    【參考譯文】為了讓科技盡可能的簡單,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——不論是個人電腦、電視機或是數(shù)字解碼器——機頂盒。
