2、 长难句翻译解析
69. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe.
第一步:断句
该句的信号词有:
①介词短语in... ②句内标点逗号 ③并列连词and ④从句引导词what ⑤连词because、介词短语in... ⑥介词短语in... ⑦句内标点逗号 ⑧从句引导词that ⑨介词短语in... ⑩介词短语in...
所以断句完成后如下:
If you put your mobile phone / in a pocket, / for example, /and don't pay attention to / what you did / because you're involved / in a conversation, / you'll probably forget / that the phone is / in the jacket / now hanging / in your wardrobe.
第二步:找主谓,定主从
第一个主谓结构是第一小句you put;第二个主谓结构是you don't pay; 第三个主谓结构是you did; 第四个主谓结构是you'll forget;第五个主谓结构是the phone is hanging。
根据信号词也可以判断该句有3个从句,找完后标记如下:
If you put your mobile phone / in a pocket, / for example, /and don't pay attention to / what you did / because you're involved / in a conversation, / you'll probably forget / that the phone is / in the jacket / now hanging / in your wardrobe.
第三步:分析主句和从句
本句的主干是:If you put your mobile phone and don't pay attention because you're involved, you'll probably forget.
句中第1小句是由if引导的条件状语从句;后面for example是插入语;关系词what引导的是宾语从句;后面是because引导的原因状语从句;最后是that引导的宾语从句。
