5. 并列句連用使得句子變長(zhǎng)(主謂賓都可以并列)
并列句是四級(jí)閱讀理解中的主要句式。出題人會(huì)把幾個(gè)成分相同的并列句子,通過(guò)剔除多余成分從而使其合并為一個(gè)很長(zhǎng)的句子。
解牛方法:破解這樣句子的關(guān)鍵是要弄清楚兩個(gè)句子的邏輯關(guān)系,補(bǔ)全成分后重新還原為幾個(gè)單獨(dú)的句子即可。例如:
To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s 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 government’s policy regarding landmines. (2004.6)
翻譯:對(duì)政府來(lái)說(shuō),更糟糕的是,不久得知的消息是,王妃的安哥拉之行得到過(guò)外事辦的批準(zhǔn),并且她事實(shí)上非常了解安哥拉的形勢(shì)和英國(guó)政府關(guān)于地雷的政策。
相當(dāng)于拆分成三個(gè)句子:
(1) To make matters worse for the government
(2) It soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office.
(3) It soon emerged that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines.
