第一篇:高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧1(写写帮推荐)
高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧1 第四章: 省略(共4页)
英国大文豪莎士比亚在他的名著《哈姆雷特》里写过这么一句名言:Brevity is the soul of wit.(言以简洁为贵。)写文章也好,说话也好,都要求生动活泼,简单明了,因此,“简洁”乃是一篇好文章的基本要求之一。
文章要做到简洁,省略法(Ellipsis)是必用的。
英语句子中的某些成分因上下文已提供了充分明确的信息而不必出现,或前面已出现的某些成分,为了避免不必要的重复,可以不再出现而不致引起误解或歧义,这种语言现象就叫作省略。例如:Glad to see you.这是个简单句,主语I和谓语am可以省略。再如:London is on the Themes, and Paris on the Seine.这是一个并列复合句,后半句省略了谓语动词is,因为前面已经出现过,后面不必重复。英译汉时,为了使译文明确达意,符合汉语习惯,要在正确理解原文的基础上,对原文中省略的部分或保留或补全,或对其进行灵活处理。
有人将英语句子中的省略现象归纳为21种,本章只涉及在英语阅读中常遇到的比较复杂的省略现象。
1.The transcription needs a certain amount of editing, as even if the computer can tell the difference between words of similar sounds such as write and right, it is still not yet able to do the work as well as an intelligent secretary.第一层: The transcription 主 needs 谓 a certain amount of 定 editing, 宾 as even if the computer can tell the difference between words of similar 状语从句sounds such as write and right, it is still not yet able to do the work as well as an intelligent secretary.第二层:(状语从句)as 引 even if the computer can tell the difference between words of similar sounds such as write and right , 状语从句1 it 主 is 系 still not yet 状 able 表 to do the work 宾 as well as an inte-lligent secretary.状语从句2
第三层:(状语从句1)even if 引 the computer 主 can tell 谓 the difference 宾 between words of similar sounds 定 such as write and right 同位语
(状语从句2)as well as 引 an intelligent secretary 主
要点 本句中as引导原因状语从句,其中该句还带有一个由“even if”引导的让步状语从句;介词短语“between words of similar sounds”修饰“difference”,“such as write and right”修饰“words”,“as well as...”为同等比较状语从句,其中省略了与主句相同的部分。intelligent:有才智的;理解力强的。
译文 译稿需要一定量的编辑工作,因为,即使计算机能够区别同音异义词,如 write和right,它仍不可能把这项工作做得像有思维能力的秘书那样好。
2.If a needle is thrown at random on a sheet of paper ruled with lines whose distance apart is exactly equal to the length of the needle, how often can it be expected to fall on a line and how often into a blank space?
第一层: If a needle is thrown at random on a sheet of paper ruled with lines whose distance apart is exactly equal to the len-状语从句 gth of the needle , how often 状 can 谓 it 主 be expected 谓 to fall on a line 宾 and 连 how often 状 into a blank space? 状
第二层:(状语从句)If 引 a needle 主 is 系 thrown 表 at random 状 on a sheet of paper 状 ruled with lines 定 whose distance apart is exactly equal to the length of the needle 定语从句
第三层:(定语从句)whose 引 distance apart 主 is 系 exactly 状 equal 表 to the length of the needle 宾
要点 这是复合句。在if引导的状语从句中,ruled with lines 是过去分词,作paper 的定语,whose...needle 是 lines 的定语从句,whose distance apart 的意思是“它们之间的间隔”。主句中and 后面是个省略句,省去了 can it be expected to fall。翻译时可将英文的被动语态译成汉语的主动语态。length:长度。rule paper with lines:在纸上划平行线。
译文 如果把一根针随机地投到一张纸上,纸上画了许多平行线,它们之间的间隔等于针的长度,那么针落在线上的几率是多少?落在空白处的几率又是多少?
3.All that a man has to say or do that can possibly concern mankind, is in some shape or other to tell the story of his loveto sing.all后面有两个that引导的定语从句,第一个that从句修饰all,第二个that指代其前的that从句,翻译时可表条件。to sing放在破折号之后,用以加强语气,其后可视为省略了宾语the story of his love, to tell和to sing是并列关系。
译文 一个人应该说的或做的,只要关系到人类,那么都是以这样或那样的形式来讲述乃至讴歌自己的爱的故事;而且,如果他是幸运的、有活力的,他将永远是充满爱的。
4.As families move away from their stable community,their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.要点 本句位并列句,前一个分句带一个As引导的状语从句, 状语从句中 move away from 后为并列平行结构their...,their..., their...在and后的分句中, the confidence 省略了 “is cut off”, it指的是信息被切断的情况。
译文 随着家庭成员与他们稳定的社区、多年的老友和大家庭的亲属关系相分离,非正式的信息渠道被切断了,而那种在需要时就能得到真实可靠信息的信心也丢失了。
5.And by the help of further reasoning, which if drawn out would have been exhibited in 2
two or three other syllogism, you arrive at your final determination, I will not have that apple.要点 这是复合句。主句是you arrive at your final determination。by the help of...是介词短语作状语,which引导的定语从句修饰reasoning。if drawn out 是省略句,用作表示条件的状语从句,完整的句子是if the reasoning can be drawn out。翻译时采用顺序法,定语从句采用分句法。syllogism:三段论;演绎推理。
译文 借助于进一步的推理,这种推理如果加以引申,还可表现为其他两三种演绎推理,你便会做出最终决定:“我不吃那个苹果了。”
6.It is quite unnerving not to be able to see or to establish contact with the other person, even though we have learnt to have conversations with people we cannot see, as on the telephone.要点 这是复合句。主句中 it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语not to be able to see or to establish contact with the other person。在状语从句中as是连词,意思是“正如…一样”,as 后面省去了we have conversations。翻译时采用逆序法,把even though引导的让步状语从句放到句首。unnerving:使人不知所措;使人失去自信。
译文 即使我们适应了像打电话一样在互相看不见的情况下谈话,这种看不见或接触不到对方的谈话也会使人感到很不自在。
7.Actually we know of no type of astronomical body in which the conditions can be favorable to life except planets like our own revolving round a sun.要点 这是复合句。in which引导定语从句,修饰astronomical body。介词except引起的短语作状语。在介词短语like our own后面省略了planet。revolving为现在分词短语作定语,修饰our own planet。翻译时根据汉语习惯,将状语提前译出。
译文 事实上,除了像地球这样围绕太阳旋转的行星以外,我们不知道是否在其他类型的天体上也有适合生命存在的条件。
8.The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers.要点 这是主从复合句。其主句的谓语动词是had less to do with...than...,意为“主要与…有关,而不是与…有关”,因为句子结构比较清晰,省略了句子的并列部分,如在had less to do with the mechanization of housework and(with)an increase in leisure time省略了with;在...than it did with their own economic necessity and(it did)with high marriage rates省略了it did。句中that引导的定语从句修饰high marriage rates。翻译时采用融合法,把重要的部分放在句首。
译文 20世纪已婚女性走出家门参加工作人数的增加主要是因为她们自己的经济需要,还与高结婚率使可参加工作的单身女工人数减少有关,而与家务机械化、妇女空闲时间增多关系不大。
9.The European Union is an imperfect creature, with some of its actions based on fine principles of political economy and some on poor ones.要点 这是简单句。句中with some of its actions based on fine principles是独立主格结构,作状语。因为与前一部分结构相同,句子后一部分省略了(with)some(of its actions based)on poor ones括号中的词。翻译时采用顺序法,对省略部分也要进行相应省略,以使句子表达简洁。
译文 欧盟是不完善的机构,它的一些举措是基于正确的政治经济原则之上的,而另一些远非如此。
10.To Americans, being on one’s own suggests that one is a fully independent and functioning part of the whole capable and willing to make choices.要点 这是复合句,that引导宾语从句,其中capable and willing to make choices可以被看作宾语从句中的并列表语(其前省略了is)。翻译时采用顺序法。
译文 对美国人而言,依靠自己的力量就是指这个人作为整体的一部分是完全独立并能起作用的,他有能力也愿意做出选择。
第二篇:高考英语阅读理解中的长难句
高考英语阅读理解中的长难句分析-
再复杂的复合句,只要能恰当地运用句法知识进性结构和功能分析,就可突破其含义,准确地理解短文大意,获取重要信息。
一、抓住结构引导词分析其长难句结构和功能
任何一个复杂长句都不外乎由一个或多个并列结构和复合句构成。并列结构一般有连词and,but,or等连接;复合句按其在句中的作用可分为名词性从句、形容词性从句(定语从句)和副词性从句(状语从句)三大类。任何一个复合句都有一个至几个反应逻辑、意义及结构关系的引导词,找出这些引导词就能分析出复合句的完整句子结构,清理出完整意义。平时要注意积累表示各种逻辑关系的连词和短语。表示目的:
so that,for the purpose that,in order that等;表示结果:so…that…,such…that…,as a result,therefore,thus等;表示条件:if,on condition that,unless等;表示原因:because,since,as等。
【例l】Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only and work better.(NMETl995 C篇)
析:这是一个含有that引导的表语从句的复合句。并且表语从句后接了which 引导的非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句内有not only…but also…连接的并列结构。句意:噪音消除系统应用的另一好处就是没有必要使用消声器.这不仅减轻了轿车的重量。而且使发动机耗油更少,运转更好。
【例2】We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields,Normans were doing most of the eating.(NMET2001D篇)
析:whether…or…表示判断选择的搭配结构,which 引出定语从句,指代前文中的事实,that引出同位语从句,while里,还是即将就厨。这表明撒可逊农民干的是农活而上层的诺曼人干的是吃喝。
【例3】A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car,as the owner,you have to pay for any damage done to the car,even if your dog has been killed in the accident.(NMETl997 C篇)
析:该句前半部分explain接what引导的宾语从句:后半部分对此进行具体解释,其中,在主句前后各有一个if导的条件状语从句和even if引导的让步状语从句。as the owner是插入语。句意:一个瑞典Kennel俱乐部的官员解释了这项(法律)的含义,如果你的狗跑到公路上被汽车撞了。作为主人。即使你的狗被撞死了,你也要为被撞坏的汽车做出赔偿。
【例4】,found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回)my full fist without dropping the prize SO dearly won.(2005全国I卷E篇)
析:全句是由and连接的两个并列分句,在前半句中含有which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句.在定语从句中,means后接宾语从句,意为―首先,我必在叶丛中找到红的西红柿,这意味着我差不多要倒立了‖。在后半句中once found为一省略they are的时状语从句。主句中reach,pick,withdraw为并列谓语动词,意为―一旦发现,我必须伸手到底下摘西红柿,然后缩回来,而不把用这么昂贵的方式得来的奖品弄丢‖。
【例5】It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computersjust about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when an e-mail is introduced,the printers start working overtime.That is, the growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to the increased use of the Internet.
析:此句夹杂较复杂的句型结构。although引导的让步状语从句中,主干部分为just about anyone can tell you that…在that引导的宾语从句中又含有when引导的时间状语从句。句意:由于因特网的使用。计算机所使用的纸张的数量是很难衡量的,然而几乎任何在办公室工作的人都能告诉你。当引进电子邮件后,打印机就开始超时工作。也就是说近年来人们对于纸张的日益需求主要是由于越来越多的使用因特网。
【例6】These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for tings and ideas that we simply can't think of.
析:后句包含两个定语从句,一个是由which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰words;一个是由that引导的定语从句修饰things and ideas。该句意为:这些字是我编造的,必定代表我们没有想到的事物和主意。
二、抓主干、剔从句
一个句子的支架就是句中的谓语动词。根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则一目了然易于理解。一些长句其实就是一个由主句和若干个状语从句 1
组成的一个多层次主从复合句,一定要搞清主句和状语从句之间的逻辑关系,只要把逻辑关系搞清楚了,则长难句就好对付了。如果把各个从句剔出来单独理解,再把大意拼凑起来,构成整个
长句的意思,就可降低长句的理解难度。如:
【例1】(2005全国I卷E篇)
析:句子主干部分为one tiny 9-inch plant has already taken over much of my rose bed and…。bought短语、covering短语分别作定语和状语。句意:一个在春天时花$1.25买的九英寸植物已经接管了我的玫瑰苗圃,覆盖了我的其他植物。正在向前门发展。
【例2】 Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest .(2005全国I卷D篇1
析:句子主干部分为Lewis found that…,在that引导的宾语从句中,含有两个who引导的定语从句。修饰 the oldest child和the youngest。句意:莱温斯发现在有三、四个孩子的家庭里,晚餐的谈话焦点往往是年龄最大和最小的孩子。最大的总是有许多的东西要说,而最小的则需要最多的关照。
【例3】 that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer..(NMET2002春招D篇)析:第一个that引出宾语从句,第二个that引出定语从句。第三个that引出同位语从句。句意:Pasteur发现(宾语从句)在酒发酵之后,再加温几分钟,能杀死残留在酒中的酵母(定语从句),其结果能使酒的保鲜时间更长(同位语从句。
【例4】 family was willing to honor his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation.(NMET2002春招E篇)
析:在这个句子中,what引出主语从句。who引出定语从句,is后用that引出两个并列表语从句。句意:关于那个救了他的命的19岁的人(定语从句)winter知道的仅仅是,(主语从句)他死于一场车祸(表语从句1),他的家人尊重他的意愿把他的器官捐献出来,用于移植(表语从句2)。
【例5】working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able t study at the Ecole polytechnique.(03C篇)析:句子主干部分为the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds,过去分词短语put forward by…作状语,现在分词短语including…作定语,短语中含有两个由wh0引导的定语从句。句意:这个定理.先是由十七世纪法国数学家皮尔法特提出,曾使一批杰出的数学大师为难。包括一位法国女科学家,她在解决这个难题方面取得了重大的进展,她为了能够在伊科尔理工学院学习曾女扮男装。
三、抓关键词
关键词即为含有句子主要意思的关键信息,抓住关键词读者可以快速抓住该句大意和理解线索。
【例1】Tales from Animal Hospital will delight all fans of the program and anyone who has a lively interest in their pet,whether it be cat, dog or snake!(NMET2003C篇)
析:关键词:fans…爱好者.whether…or…无论是……还是……句意:来自动物医院(这个电视节目)的故事(这本书),将使这个电视节目的爱好者以及对无论是猫、狗还是蛇这类宠物有浓厚兴趣的任何人感到高兴。
【例2】After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success, that is, when guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that they have had a taste of adventure.
析:句中含两个分词短语,关键词state―表明‖。句意:在他们逗留之后。所有的游客都会收到一份生存证明记录他们的成功.也就是说当游客离开小冰屋旅馆时,他们会得到一份证明.表明他们曾尝试过冒险。
【例3】白领雇员), who can afford white—collar employees.
析:关键词:rest in依赖,in other words换句话说。句意:主要的市场因素取决于白领工人的人数增加,这些人付得起这种新型服务。换句话说,上海的汽车出租行业发展如此快,主要是因为白领工人人数的增加。
四、恢复原来面貌,理解创新句型
难句的另一种形式是各种创新句型,主要形式有省略、插入语、前置、倒装、强调、被动、双重否定等结构。我们可以利用还原法和消原法,还复杂句型以本来面目,以求顺利理解。
【例1】Excused from recycling(回收利用)because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)(00E篇)析:分析句子结构及语法功能不难发现该句为省略句,可补充还原为:Are you excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute?你住在带垃圾通道的高层楼房上就可获准不参与回收利用垃圾吗?
【例2】Betty, shrugs.Talk? We’re friends.(NMET2001 E篇)
析:该句为省略句,根据上下文作者因妻子长时间跟女友谈话而感到纳闷的情节,该句可补充还原为:Betty shrugs.Why are we talking so long? We’re friends.贝蒂耸了耸肩,为什么我们谈这么久?我们是朋友。
【例3】 ―Most women, ‖says Rubin, ―identified(认定)at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.‖(NMET01 E篇)析:该句为由并列连词and连接的并列复合句。前半分句主谓部分被says Rubin分开,且含有一个由to whom引导的定语从句.turn to中介词to前置。Rubin说多数女子会认定至少一个.通常多个,可信赖的朋友,以便在处境困难时去求助。
【例4】 No longer will the public accept the old attitude of ―Buy it.throw it away,and forget it.‖(01 C篇)
析:本句为倒装句,可还原成:The public will no longer accept the old attitude of ―Buy it,throw it away,and forget it‖.公众们不再接受―购产品、丢产品、忘产品‖的旧观点。
【例5】How is it t hat the can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame,come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa ,talking?(NMET2001 E篇)
析:这是一个it强调句型的疑问句,that后有两个由and连接的并列分句,前一并列分句为leave,go out, come back为并列的谓语动词。句中的两个talking作状语表示伴随动作。的爱心的狗能成为无判断力的(忠实的)听者,这是刚开始搞阅读的小孩所需要的。

第三篇:高考长难句
