英语阅读基本功—长难句过关之插入结构
2007-11-14来源:
ExerciseOur forefather had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth.They appear to do everything in a rush, with an eye on the clock, as if they had a short time to live.
要点分析和参考译文要点：分号前后为两个并列句。在第二个分句中，even until very recently 时间状语插入在主语 most of them和谓语had之间。Them指代前一句的forefathers。
参考译文：我们前辈不知道人口会比原材料供应增长得要快；甚至到最近以前大多数人还错误得认为自然资源是无限的，永远不会消耗尽。要点：并列句and 之后的主语 the people和谓语will have之间插入whether引导的状语从句。
参考译文：可是有一点是肯定的：信息和知识将变得更加重要。拥有信息和知识的人无论是在生产行业还是在服务行业工作，都会有优势并能创造财富。要点：介词短语“with an eye on the clock”为插入语，在句子中做状语。“as if”引出方式状语从句，谓语动词是虚拟语气。
参考译文：他们看上去做每件事都匆匆忙忙，眼睛盯着时钟，仿佛他们的有生之年极其短暂似的。
ExerciseAmericans admire the self-made person—the one who, with neither money nor family influence, fights his or her way to the top.Silly or wise, terrible or delightful, it is a further helping of experience, an additional joy after dark, another slice of life cut differently for which, it seems to me, we are never sufficiently grateful.Quite a different problem, but one that is causing growing concern, is that computers may violate people’s privacy.
要点分析和参考译文要点：破折号后的“the one”是前面person的同位语，“the one”后面又有一个由who引导的定语从句，其中主语和谓语之间有一个插入语：with neither money nor family influence.
参考译文：美国人钦佩靠个人奋斗而成功的人士：这种人既没有金钱也没有家庭背景，靠自己的奋斗攀登到最上层。要点：Silly or wise, terrible or delightful为平行结构，在句中作让步状语。另外句子的表语也是平行结构“a further helping of experience, an additional joy after dark”“it seems to me”为插入语，插入到for which引导的定语从句中。
参考译文：不管是愚蠢还是聪明，可怕还是愉悦，梦中的生活都是更深一层的另外一种体验，是天黑以后才有的另一种欢乐，是生活另一个不同的侧面，对此我似乎觉得怎么感激也不为过。要点：句中“but one that is causing growing concern”，在句中作插入语。在意义上是对“Quite a different problem”的补充说明。One代替上文提到的“problem”
参考译文：一个截然不同但却越来越引起人们关注的问题是：计算机可能会侵犯人们的隐私。转贴于：考试大_CET-6 考试
