英语作为考研中的大多数同学的一个短板,一直是备考的难点,其中英语的语法,即长难句是难点中的难点,那么对于长难句我们该怎样分析呢?接下来我们就以一个例子带着同学们来初步感受一下如何分析一个长难句:点击>>>历年考研英语试题经典长难句汇总
【例句】Some might see the proposal as a booby prize for the fact that Britain is no longer able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture,a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008.
【分析】这句话中一共有2个位于部分,一个是might see,还有一个是is no longer able to apply for。后者之前有从属连词that,因此存在着一个从句。从句中还存在着一个名词成分a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008,该成分为同位语,解释说明European capital of culture。在这个名词短语中,bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008是名词之后的v-ed分词短语,做后置定语,修饰a sought-after award.所以:
主干:Some might see the proposal as a booby prize
原因状语:for the fact
同位语从句:that Britain is no longer able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture
同位语:a sought-after award
后置定语:bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008
【译文】有些人也会会将上述提议认为是安慰奖,因为存在着这样一个事实:英国不再有资格去申请更具有声望的欧洲文化之都的称号了。而,该称号是一个备受欢迎的奖项,曾经于1990年和2008年被格拉斯哥和利物浦分别获得。
