2018考研英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)難句分析每日一句(831)

字號(hào):

Demand comes mainly from two sources: independent mom-and-pop grocery stores,which, unlike large retail chains are too small to buy straight from producers and food service operators that cater to consumers when they don't eat at home.
    【分析】多重復(fù)合句。句子主干為 Demand comes mainly from two sources。冒號(hào)后的部分列舉 twosources:一是 independent mom-and-pop grocery stores,二是 food service operators,兩者分別由 which 和 that 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾。which 從句中使用了too...to“太...以至于不能”句型,作比較狀語(yǔ),that 從句中又包含一個(gè) when 引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
    【譯文】需求主要來(lái)自兩個(gè)方面:一是獨(dú)立經(jīng)營(yíng)的夫妻雜貨店,它們不同于大型零售連鎖店,這種夫妻店因規(guī)模太小無(wú)法從生產(chǎn)商那里直購(gòu);二是向在外就餐的顧客提供飲食服務(wù)的經(jīng)營(yíng)機(jī)構(gòu)。
    【點(diǎn)撥】1)mom-and-pop“夫妻經(jīng)營(yíng)的”。2)cater to“迎合;款待;供應(yīng)伙食”,結(jié)合語(yǔ)境,本句中是“供應(yīng)伙食”的意思。
    【臨摹】大學(xué)應(yīng)該考慮開(kāi)設(shè)迎合學(xué)生興趣和需要的課程。
