四级阅读基本功--长难句过关（第十二期）

ExerciseIdeally then, a school system should be one in which the love of learning, rather than the acquisition of facts , is cultivated.

Still, he could not help thinking that if anything should happen, the nearest person he could contact by radio, unless there was a ship nearby , would be on an island 885 miles away.

Yet this other life has its interests, its enjoyments, its satisfaction, and , at certain rare intervals, a peaceful glow or a sudden excitement.

要点分析和参考译文

要点：one 后面有一个in which 引导得定语从句，其中rather than the acquisition of facts是插入语，可以看成是主语the love of learning的并列成分
参考译文：因此，理想的教育制度应该是培养学生酷爱学习，而不是获得实际的东西

要点：虚拟条件句“if anything ……885 miles away.”是thinking的宾语从句，作thinking的宾语。在这个虚拟条件句的主句中，主语和谓语之间插入了一个条件状语从句“unless there was a ship nearby”，使得主谓分离。
参考译文：他仍禁不住寻思起来，要是果发生什么意外，如果附近连一条船也没有，他用无线电能联系上得最近得人远在885英里以外得岛上。

要点：句中 interests, enjoyments, satisfaction, glow和excitement共五哥并列成分，皆作宾语。 At certain rare intervals为插入语，意为“间或，偶尔”。
参考译文：然而这另一种生活也有它的趣味，欢乐和满足，并间或有一种宁静得喜悦或一阵突发得激动。
