Ⅰ.难句解构
1.Claire didn’t want the robot in her house,especially as her husband would be away on a business trip for three weeks,but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow her to be harmed.
句式分析:本句是复合句,主句是 “Claire didn’t want the robot in her house” 和 “Larry persuaded her”,由 but 连接,形成转折关系。句子中 “especially as her husband would be away on a business trip for three weeks” 是由 as 引导的原因状语从句;“that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow her to be harmed” 是由 that 引导的宾语从句,作 persuaded 的宾语。
自主翻译:克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里,特别是在她的丈夫将要出差三周的时候,但是拉里劝说她机器人不会伤害她,也不会让她受到伤害。
2.Claire thought it was ridiculous that she was being offered sympathy by a robot,but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him.
句式分析:本句是复合句,主句 “Claire thought” 和 “she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him”由 but 连接,形成转折关系。句中it为形式主语,真正的主语为that引导的从句。
自主翻译:克莱尔认为她被机器人同情是荒谬的,但她逐渐欣赏他的智慧和正直,并且开始信任他。
3.She told him how she was unhappy that her home wasn’t elegant enough for Larry,who wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary.
句式分析:本句是复合句,“how she was unhappy”是由how引导的宾语从句; “who wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary”是由who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰Larry。
自主翻译:她对托尼说,对于像拉里这样想通过更高的薪水来提高社会地位的人来说,她的家不够雅致,这让她很不高兴。
