真正的长难句
这类句子才是我们考试中真正的敌人,例如2017年考研英语(一)翻译:
His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generations of the United Kingdom do not need additional languages capabilities.
我们都知道一个句子里有且只能有一个谓语动词,如果有多个谓语动词,一定有与之相连的从属连词,我们看这个句子里边的动词有 “should end” “may believe” “is” “do not need”, 从属连词有 “who” “that” “that”, 从属连词与其后面最近的谓语动词构成从句结构,所以who 与may believe, that 与is, that 与do not need, 构成从句结构,而should end 前没有从属连词,所以是句子真正的谓语动词,among后是整个句子的介词结构,所以句子的主干为His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness。所以当遇到一个长而复杂的句子时,以动词和从属连词为突破口,层层剖析,复杂的句子也就简单了。
