23、s of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.句中动词said后跟一个宾语从句she had been moved.,she wanted to do.为省去关系词that的定语从句,before dying可改为before_she_died。如何分析阅读中的长难句分析长难句的核心思想就是“提取主干”。再复杂的句子也是由一个个部分组成的,其中重要的是句子的主干,一般包括主语、谓语和宾语,因为它们是文章在传递信息时的
24、主要载体,而其它成分,不论有多长多复杂,都不过是起辅助作用的成分罢了。语法分析可以按照下列步骤来操作:1首先把长难句分解成若干个简单句。2找出连词和关键词,确定句与句之间的关系,分清主句和从句。像B篇第一段也是一句话,A cancerstricken British teenage said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.我们分析一下该句的结构:a cancerstricken British teenage是句子的主语,谓语动词是said,后面为宾语从句,在该从句中包含一个省去关系代词的定语从句she wanted to do before dying修饰先行词things。这样一分析,句子结构就清楚了,翻译起来也就容易的多。3分析主句与从句的成分,识别谓语动词,判断谓语动词的时态语态和语气,接着看该句是否有倒装、省略、插入成分、独立成分、同位成分等。4分析主句与从句、从句与从句之间的关系。同时,考虑上下文、文化背景,从总体上把握句子的字面含义以及字里行间的深层意思。
