英語四級閱讀理解真題長難句分類解析
5. 并列句連用使得句子變長(主謂賓都可以并列)
并列句是四級閱讀理解中的主要句式。出題人會把幾個成分相同的并列句子,通過剔除多余成分從而使其合并為一個很長的句子。
解牛方法:破解這樣句子的關鍵是要弄清楚兩個句子的邏輯關系,補全成分后重新還原為幾個單獨的句子即可。例如:
To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines.
翻譯:對政府來說,更糟糕的是,不久得知的消息是,王妃的安哥拉之行得到過外事辦的批準,并且她事實上非常了解安哥拉的形勢和英國政府關于地雷的政策。
相當于拆分成三個句子:
To make matters worse for the government
It soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office.
It soon emerged that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines.
