英語(yǔ)六級(jí)閱讀真題長(zhǎng)難句解析(3)

　　1. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our epoch is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” (2003. 閱讀. 12. Text 3)

　　【譯文】一項(xiàng)針對(duì)歷史上人性的研究顯示，現(xiàn)代人與過(guò)去的人截然不同，因此，認(rèn)為不同年代的人們擁有共同之處即所謂的“人性”似乎是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。

　　【析句】復(fù)合句。主句An examination of the history of humanity suggested+賓語(yǔ)從句。賓語(yǔ)從句中，主句是man...is so different from man...that it seemed unrealistic to assume that...，包含短語(yǔ)so...that...,短語(yǔ)中that引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句it seemed unrealistic to assume...,而assume后that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句men had something in common,因?yàn)閟omething后有定語(yǔ)從句that can be called...修飾，所以把something放在了in common之后。

　　2. The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. (2003. 閱讀. 12. Text 3)

　　【譯文】對(duì)原始民族的研究已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)存在著多種多樣的習(xí)俗、價(jià)值觀、情感和思想，因此許多人類學(xué)家得出這樣的觀點(diǎn)：人生來(lái)是一張白紙，各族文化在上面書(shū)寫(xiě)自己的內(nèi)容。

　　【析句】復(fù)合句。主句是The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of...that..., 包含短語(yǔ)such...tht...，that這里引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句。在結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句中，主句是many anthropologists arrived at the concept,that man is as a blank sheet of paper作the concept的同位語(yǔ)從句，而a blank sheet of paper后有定語(yǔ)從句修飾。

　　3. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. (2003. 閱讀. 12. Text 3)

　　【譯文】還有一個(gè)因素強(qiáng)化了這種否認(rèn)一成不變的人性存在的趨勢(shì)，這個(gè)因素就是一成不變的人性這種觀點(diǎn)經(jīng)常被濫用，成為為多數(shù)殘忍行為辯解的擋箭牌。

　　【析句】復(fù)合句。主句Another factor was that...,這里，that引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句。主句主語(yǔ)another factor后contributing to the tendency是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語(yǔ)，to deny the assumption...是不定式作定語(yǔ)修飾the tendency。而在表語(yǔ)從句中，主句the concept has so often been abused as a shiled，a shiled后有which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾。
