1、 长难句翻译解析方法论回顾
(一)抓住主干,分清主次
何为句子主干?即句子的主语和谓语。
1. 句子主语
主语(subject) 是一个句子的主题(theme), 是句子所述说的主体。它的位置一般在句首。主语一般有名词、代词、数词、动名词、不定式、主语从句来充当。
(1)A man called you just now.( 名词)
(2)Most of us like surfing the Internet.(代词)
(3)One in ten were for the plan.(数词)
(4)It is kind of you to give me so much help.(不定式)
(5)Helping others is helping yourself.(动名词)
(6)Whether he will come is uncertain.(主语从句)
(7)It's said that he will not come back again.(主语从句)
2. 句子谓语
谓语(predicate) 或谓语动词(predicate verb) 的位置一般在主语之后。谓语有简单谓语和复合谓语两种。简单谓语是由一个行为动词构成的,比较容易识别。复合谓语包括情态动词+ 动词原形、连系动词+ 表语、动词短语及被动语态bedone、进行时态be doing、完成时态 has/ have done、将来时态will do / be going to do 等。
(1)You can make a difference if you are confident.
(2)He was followed by the fans.
(3)I was about to go out when my phone rang.
(二)以连词为分界点,确定句子是并列句或复合句
并列连词连接并列句,常见的并列连词有and, but, yet, or,so, for ,not only...but also,while(然而)。
从属连词连接复合句,常见的从属连词引导状语从句的有when, after, before, till, until, since, though, although, because等,引导定语从句的有 that,who, whom, which,where, when 等,引导名词性从句的有what, that 等。
(三)确定中心名词,识别后置定语
后置定语通常以不定式、分词、介词短语、定语从句等形式体现。此外,定语也可能不是一个,可能出现“B 的A”形式和“C 的B 的A”形式,也可能出现“B 和C 的A”形式,必要时应逐一分析。
(1)I got a chance to give a speech at the meeting.(B 的A)
(2)The girl wearing sunglasses is LiuXuan.(B 的A)
(3)I like the book written by DongQing.(B 的A)
(4)The boy with a book in his hand is Jim.(B 的A)
(5)The man who helped you is my boss.(B 的A)
(6)The boy with a book in his hand written by DongQing is Jim.(C 的B 的A)
(7)The man with a book in his hand who helped you is my boss.(B 和C 的A)
(四)正确理解非谓语动词的含义
非谓语动词是句子中的次要动词,保留了动词的部分特征,有时态、语态,但其有自己的特征。尤其是当分词做定语和分词做状语时,学生非常容易混淆。分词作定语相当于定语从句,分词做状语相当于状语从句或并列句。
(1)She is a pupil admired by all her classmates.( 定语)
=She is a pupil who is admired by all her classmates.
(2)This is the novel translated into a few languages(. 定语)
=This is the novel that has translated into a few languages.
(3)Written in a hurry, this article was not so good.(原因状语)
=Because it was Written in a hurry, this article was not so good
