1、 长难句翻译
71. I wasn’t satisfied and I wasn’t convinced that the interventions they would eventually implement would actually have the level of impact that was so clearly needed.
72.This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one.
2、 长难句翻译解析
71.I wasn’t satisfied and I wasn’t convinced that the interventions they would eventually implement would actually have the level of impact that was so clearly needed.
第一步:断句
该句的信号词有:
①连接词and ②从句引导词that ③语义断句 ④语义断句 ⑤从句引导词that
所以断句完成后如下:
I wasn’t satisfied / and I wasn’t convinced / that the interventions /they would eventually implement / would actually have the level of impact / that was so clearly needed.
第二步:找主谓,定主从
第一个主谓结构是I wasn’t satisfied;第二个主谓结构是I wasn’t convinced ; 第三个主谓结构是the interventions would have ; 第四个主谓结构是they would implement; 第五个主谓结构是that was。
根据信号词也可以判断该句有4个从句,找完后标记如下:
I wasn’t satisfied / and I wasn’t convinced / that the interventions /they would eventually implement / would actually have the level of impact / that was so clearly needed.
第三步:分析主句和从句.
本句的主干是:I wasn’t satisfied and I wasn’t convinced the interventions would have the impact.
①这一部分是本句的主干部分,这里有两个重要形容词satisfied 和convinced。我们来学习一些相关用法。
be satisfied with,表示对某事物满意;
be convinced (that)… 确信…, 信服…; be convinced of sth. 对…确信。
②这一小句,其实隐藏着一个定语从句,在上一节长难句分析中,我们也提到过这种that定语从句省略连接词的情况,就是当定语从句先行词是物,关系代词which/that充当从句中的宾语时可以省略。这里的interventions可以看做先行词,作后面动词implement的宾语。这半句的意思是“他们最终采取的干涉措施”。
这小半句中有两个可能大家不太熟悉的单词,可以学习一下做一下笔记。
intervention: [n.]干涉,干预,介入。例如:government intervention to regulate prices,政府介入以控制物价。
implement: [v.]执行,贯彻,实施。例如:implement a policy/plan/decision,执行政策/计划/决议。
③这一句稍微有点复杂,很多同学可能会有点困惑,其实这里可以看作是that引导的主语从句,这一句从前面开头看起:[that the… would actually… of impact],先移出我们刚刚分析的定语从句,这句主语从句完整的就是:“that the interventions would actually have the level of impact.” 分析完句子结构,我们来看一下这个句子里面的重点词组,have the(an) impact(o
