平行并列句,平行并列句:指一个句子中会有两个成分并列。英语句子最常用的方法是通过使用一些关联词,如 and、or、but等,或标点符号如:分号,逗号,破折号等,若干个在语义上有联系或相互照应的单词、词组或句子连在一起组成一种并列或平行结构的长句,以表达一个复杂的多层次含义。技巧:通过关联词(and,but等)从后向前找出并列的核心单词。将句子从并列连词处断开,将并列句变成两个或若干个相对短的句子,然后再用处理简单句的方法抓句子主干,来依次处理每个相对短的句子。,Everyone should know where the nearest fire alarm box is located and where exits,fire escapes,and fire doors are.I wanted her to know that my heart was with her,and that I thought England owed her a great debt and was going to miss her,Everyone should know where the nearest fire alarm box is located and where exits,fire escapes,and fire doors are.结构:本句有三个谓语动词,其中主句的谓语动词为should know,其余两个都是由where引导的并列宾语从句。拆分:1)Everyone should know2)Where the nearest fire alarm box is located3)Where exits,fire escapes,and fire doors are翻译:每个人都应该知道最近的火灾报警箱的位置,以及安全出口、安全梯及防火门位于何处。,I wanted her to know that my heart was with her,and that I thought England owed her a great debt and was going to miss her结构:本句有5个谓语动词,其中主句的谓语动词为wanted。was和thought分别属于两个由that引导的并列宾语从句。而owed和was going为两个并列的谓语动词,共同主语为England。England这句话前面为了避免重复而省略了宾语从句的引导词that,实际上是thought的宾语从句。拆分:I wanted her to knowThat my heart was with herThat I thought(That)England owed her a great debt and was going to miss her.翻译:我想让她知道我的心陪伴着她,而且我认为英国欠了她一大笔债,很快就会想念她。,The way space is used to enable the individual to achieve privacy,to build homes or to design cities is culturally influenced.It seems simple enough to distinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and to separate forces acting on an organism into those that are internal and biological and those that are external and environmental.,Children in low-income families and poor communities are less likely to take organized youth sports for granted because they often lack the resources needed to pay for participation fees,equipment,and transportation to practices and games and their communities do not have resources to build and maintain sports fields and facilities.(08年12月四级),The way space is used to enable the

cities翻译:怎样利用空间实现个人隐私,修建住宅及规划城市都受到文化上的影响。,It seems simple enough to distinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and to separate forces acting on an organism into those that are internal and biological and those that are external and environmental.结构:本句话关键是通过and抓住并列的成分,句子的主干是It seems simple enough to distinguish and to separate,其中,理解的难点在separate后面的部分。Separate的宾语forces后面被“acting on an organism”这个现在分词短语限定,into后面两个those告诉我们forces被分成哪些部分了。拆分:It seems simple enough to distinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and to separate forces(acting on an organism)intothose that are internal and biologicaland those that are external and environmental.翻译:区分有机体和周围环境似乎很简单;把作用于有机体的力量分为内部生物的力量和外部环境的力量似乎也很简单。,Children in low-income families and poor communities are less likely to take organized youth sports for granted because they often

facilities).翻译:来自低收入家庭和贫穷社区的孩子就很少将社区运动视作理所应当,因为他们经常缺少必须的金钱来支付门票、设备和来回车费,而且他们的社区也没有能力来建设和维持运动场和运动设备。,插入语一般是对句子的某个成分的解释或补充说明,前后有逗号与其他句子成分分开,比较容易识别。技巧:处理插入语的基本办法是先略去不读,直接跳过两个逗号之间的内容,使插入语结构前后意思顺畅。,插入结构,Work,for most American and Chinese women aged 55 and under,involves responsibility for a household,a child or children,and a job outside the home as

ideas and beauty)和(a book that)是插入语。前者做a great book的后置定语,而后者是a great book的同位语,起补充说明的作用。that引导定语从句修饰book,which引导定语从句修饰reading。拆分:1)A great book demands the most active reading.2)You are capable of the reading 3)A book rises and tries to answer questions.翻译:但是一本富于思想和美感的伟大的书能够提出并试图回答一些伟大的根本问题。这样的书需要你尽最大所能来积极阅读。,Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself,with amateurs heroically,but mistakenly,trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.Silly or wise,terrible or delightful,the life in dream is a further helping of experience,an additional joy after dark,another slice of life cut differently for which,it seems to me,we are never sufficiently grateful.,Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous

which引导的定语从句中。翻译:不管愚蠢还是聪明,可怕还是愉悦,梦中的生活都是更深一层的另一份体验,是天黑以后才有的另一种欢乐,是生活的另一不同的侧面,对此我似乎觉得怎么感激也不为过。,主谓分离,主谓分离:主语和谓语分得很开,中间有一些限定主语的内容。技巧:开头的名词一般是句子的主语,当确定句子的主语后,就往后找独立存在的谓语动词。,The employee at the home office

necessities,increasing affluence matters surprisingly little.Many economists believe that advertising helps increase competition,which leads to lower prices,thus benefiting consumers and the economy as a whole.,It is generally accepted that old people should have a share in the rewards for material and cultural advancements to which they have made contributions.结构:本句中有三个谓语动词,主干为主语从句It is

man in that period or epoch,for behind the creations of literature and the events of history there is always the individual who is after all of prime interest to us.,本句子的核心成分是:The effort is an attempt.但是这句话语言比较枯燥,给句子加上形容词和副词后,内容就会具体些。The final and highest effort is always an attempt.attempt是尝试做什么事情呢?不够具体,所以有一个不定式来补充说明attempt的内容,所以句子演变成the final and highest effort is always an attempt to gain a close view,但是view是观察,是对什么的观察呢,of引导的部分进一步补充说明view的内容,所以句子就成了The final and highest effort is always an attempt to gain a close view of the man in that period or epoch.,从主干的演变来看,信息主要针对名词而扩展。主干有了,在句子开头加上一个表示范围的状语,句子就成了:In the study of any period of literature or of any epoch of history,the final and highest effort is always an attempt to gain a close view of the man in that period or epoch.为了增加句子的说服力,在后面补上表示原因的状语。对于表示原因的状语,我们也可以从简单到难,把for引导的句子作一个演变的分析:There is always the individual.There is always the individual who is after all of prime interest to us.Behind the creations of literature and the events of history there is always the individual who is after all of prime interest to us.,最后,把所有的成分合起来,长长的句子就诞生了:In the study of any period of literature or of any epoch of history,the final and highest effort is always an attempt to gain a close view of the man in that period or epoch,for behind the creations of literature and the events of history there is always the individual who is after all of prime interest to us.,
