想要學好英語四級怎麼能不知道長難句的運用方法呢?下面就讓小編爲大家詳解一下吧。
實例練習
長句： eg. Yale professor and Harvard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai's Fudan University in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools.
由徐天教授(耶魯大學教授，霍華德。休斯醫學院研究員)負責的人類疾病遺傳學研究中心坐落在上海的復旦大學，但其工作人員卻由耶魯和復旦兩所大學共同派人組成。
eg. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia , you'll die on average five years before a woman.
假定你有幸活到生命的自然盡頭--在澳大利亞男性大概是活到78歲--你平均也要比女性早去世五年。
eg. When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learnd from our past, from the media , peers, family, friends, etc., we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values.
分析：when引導的是時間狀語從句，question(質疑);challenge的賓語從句;這個句子就是一個when引導的'時間狀語從句，又分別在主從句當中各嵌入了一個賓語從句。
譯文：當我們開始質疑問我們的假設，並且向我們所認爲的我們從過去的經歷、媒體、同輩、家人及朋友那裏學到的東西發出挑戰的時候，我們就會開始意識到我們的獨斷決定是有缺陷的，或者說與我們的基本價值是相違背的。
分析：這個句子有三點需要搞清楚。首先，這個句子是一個倒裝結構;句子真正的主語是appreciatio- n，其次，要弄清楚to the health…中的to是與哪個詞構成邏輯語義聯繫。它是與前面的名詞importance 構成呼應，即the importance of … to the health…， 即“對…健康的重要意義。”最後，要知道the num -ber of species in a particular ecosystem 的作用是充當同位語，解釋biological diversity這個概念。
譯文：人們對物種及其棲息地正加速喪失表示擔憂，與此同時，人們一直越來越意識到生物多樣性--即在一個特定生態系統中物種的總數--對於地球乃至我們人類健康的重要意義。
