And in Europe, some are up in arms over a proposal to drop a specific funding category for social-science research and to integrate it within cross-cutting topics of sustainable development.
重點(diǎn)詞匯:proposal,sustainable development
重點(diǎn)短語(yǔ):up in arms,integrate...... within
解析:本句主語(yǔ)為代詞“some”,“be up in arms over”為動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ),賓語(yǔ)為“a proposal”,其后面兩個(gè)“to do”并列短語(yǔ)是賓語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ),其中介詞短語(yǔ)“for social-science research”修飾“a specific funding category”,介詞短語(yǔ)“of sustainable development”修飾“cross-cutting topics”。
翻譯:在歐洲,一些人強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)一項(xiàng)提議,即取消社會(huì)科學(xué)研究的特定資助類(lèi)別,并將其并入可持續(xù)發(fā)展的跨領(lǐng)域課題之中。
The idea is to force social scientists to integrate their work with other categories, including health and demographic change, food security, marine research and the bio-economy, clear, efficient energy; and inclusive, innovative and secure societies.
重點(diǎn)詞匯:demographic,marine,inclusive,efficient
重點(diǎn)短語(yǔ):force.....to,integrate ...... with
解析:本句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu),表語(yǔ)為“to force social scientists to integrate their work with other categories”,其后面的“including ....”具體補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明“other categories”。
后面5個(gè)成分進(jìn)行并列分別是“health and demographic change”,“food security”,“marine research and the bio-economy”,“clear, efficient energy”,“inclusive, innovative and secure societies”。
翻譯:該想法是為了迫使社會(huì)科學(xué)家把他們的工作與其他領(lǐng)域結(jié)合起來(lái),包括健康和人口變化、糧食安全、海洋研究和生物經(jīng)濟(jì)、清潔高效的能源以及有包容性、創(chuàng)新性和安全性的社會(huì)。
During the late 1990s, national spending on social sciences and the humanities as a percentage of all research and development funds—including government, higher education, non-profit and corporate—varied from around 4% to 25%; in most European nations, it is about 15%.
重點(diǎn)詞匯:humanities,corporate
重點(diǎn)短語(yǔ):as a percentage of
解析:該句子主語(yǔ)較長(zhǎng)為“national spending on social sciences and the humanities as a percentage of all research and development funds”,其中介詞短語(yǔ)“on social sciences and the humanities”為定語(yǔ)修飾“national spending”。分號(hào)并列省略句“it is about 15%”,介詞短語(yǔ)“in most European nations”為狀語(yǔ)。
翻譯:在20世紀(jì)90年代后期,國(guó)家在社會(huì)科學(xué)和人文學(xué)科上的支出占所有研究和開(kāi)發(fā)基金(包括政府、高等教育、非營(yíng)利組織和企業(yè))的比例從4%到25%不等;在大多數(shù)歐洲國(guó)家,這一比例約為15%。
These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.
本句27詞,整個(gè)句子一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句和兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,此句中,賓語(yǔ)從句和定語(yǔ)從句的從屬連詞都進(jìn)行了省略,因而全句并未見(jiàn)到任何的從屬連詞,關(guān)系詞。
1. 賓語(yǔ)從句:these rules (主語(yǔ)))say(謂語(yǔ)) they (主語(yǔ))must value (謂語(yǔ))some assets(賓語(yǔ)) at the price(狀語(yǔ)),出現(xiàn)兩套主謂,并無(wú)從屬連詞連接,these rules say they must value some assets at the price.....省略了that從屬連詞。還原:theses rules say (that) they must value some assets at the price。此處賓語(yǔ)從句比較常規(guī),理解上不是很困難,value some assets表示:評(píng)估一些資產(chǎn) ,at the price 以......的價(jià)格
理解: 這些規(guī)則規(guī)定他們必須以......的價(jià)格評(píng)估一些資產(chǎn)。
2. 定語(yǔ)從句:the price (先行詞) a third party would pay(句子,主語(yǔ)a third party,謂語(yǔ) would pay); 名詞+句子,句子 a third party would pay修飾限定名詞the price,the price( that ) a third party would pay
理解:第三方愿意支付的價(jià)格。
同理the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch 同樣構(gòu)成以the price 為先行詞的定語(yǔ)從句,從句為:managers and regulators would like them to fetch;fetch表示去取,賣(mài)得(某價(jià));
理解:經(jīng)理和監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)想要它們出售所得的價(jià)格
整句:這些規(guī)則規(guī)定他們必須以第三方愿意支付的價(jià)格而不是經(jīng)理和監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)想要它們出售所得的價(jià)格來(lái)評(píng)估一些資產(chǎn)。
And dead markets partly reflect the paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.
本句28詞,整個(gè)句子包括一個(gè)由which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,定語(yǔ)從句比較長(zhǎng),但整個(gè)句子機(jī)構(gòu)并不復(fù)雜。
從句從which will not sell assets 開(kāi)始到句末supposed bargains結(jié)束,yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains在從句中和will not sell assets形成并列。
主句:And dead markets(主語(yǔ)) partly reflect(謂語(yǔ)) the paralysis of banks (賓語(yǔ));the paralysis of banks, of banks 介詞短語(yǔ)跟在名詞paralysis后面做定語(yǔ),表示銀行的癱瘓。
which定語(yǔ)從句修飾限定名詞banks;從句中詞組 for fear of表示擔(dān)心,害怕,book loss: 賬面損失,be reluctant to do sth 表示不情愿做。。。,supposed bargains 所謂的便宜貨;
從句理解:這些銀行因?yàn)閾?dān)心賬面損失而不出售資產(chǎn),又不情愿購(gòu)買(mǎi)所有那些所謂的便宜貨。
整句:死寂的市場(chǎng)一定程度上反映了銀行的癱瘓,這些銀行一方面擔(dān)心賬面損失因而不會(huì)出售資產(chǎn),但也也不情愿購(gòu)買(mǎi)那些被認(rèn)為是便宜貨的資產(chǎn)。
Even before the invention of the electric light bulb, the author produced a remarkable work of speculative fiction that would foreshadow many ethical questions to be raised by technology yet to come.
(2018年閱讀Text3)
本句共有32個(gè)詞,屬于考研英語(yǔ)中常見(jiàn)的長(zhǎng)難句。
長(zhǎng)難句分析:
1、主句:the author produced a remarkable work of speculative fiction
主語(yǔ):the author
謂語(yǔ):produced
賓語(yǔ):a remarkable work of speculative fiction
2、定語(yǔ)從句(先行詞work,在從句中作主語(yǔ)):that would foreshadow many ethical questions to be raised by technology yet to come
從屬連詞:that(即從句主語(yǔ),指work)
謂語(yǔ):would foreshadow
賓語(yǔ):many ethical questions
定語(yǔ):to be raised by technology yet to come(修飾questions)
3、before the invention of the electric light bulb屬于由before構(gòu)成的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),翻譯的時(shí)候順譯即可,但是before里面有個(gè)of the electric light bulb小定語(yǔ),需要放在invention前翻譯。
本句為復(fù)合句,主句意為:“作者已經(jīng)創(chuàng)作了一部引人注目的推理小說(shuō)”;定語(yǔ)從句由that引導(dǎo),用來(lái)修飾先行詞questions,表明這些問(wèn)題的特點(diǎn)。
參考譯文:甚至在電燈泡發(fā)明之前,作者就已經(jīng)創(chuàng)作了一部引人注目的推理小說(shuō),它預(yù)示著未來(lái)的技術(shù)將引發(fā)許多倫理問(wèn)題。

本句為復(fù)合句,主句意為“美國(guó)各州可以對(duì)更多的人征收銷(xiāo)售稅”;時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)由when引導(dǎo);定語(yǔ)從句由that引導(dǎo),先行詞是decision。
參考譯文:根據(jù)美國(guó)最高法院周四的一項(xiàng)裁決,美國(guó)各州可以對(duì)在線零售征收銷(xiāo)售稅。這項(xiàng)裁決將使購(gòu)物者的錢(qián)包變得更輕,但對(duì)各州來(lái)說(shuō)是一場(chǎng)重大的財(cái)政勝利。
Even those papers that continue to review fine-arts events are devoting less space to them, while the “think pieces” on cultural subjects that once graced the pages of big-city Sunday papers are becoming a thing of the past.
【單詞解析】:review:復(fù)習(xí),評(píng)論,檢查;devote to:將……奉獻(xiàn)給,把……專(zhuān)用于;grace:n. 優(yōu)雅;v. 使…增色,使…優(yōu)美。
【句子分析】:本句為復(fù)合句,整體結(jié)構(gòu)為主句+while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
首先找主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,可以作謂語(yǔ)的形式有continue to review, are devoting…to…。從屬連詞和其后最近的謂語(yǔ)構(gòu)成從句,continue to review前有that構(gòu)成從句,所以are devoting…to…為主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。
其次找主干主語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ),those papers作主語(yǔ),less space和them作賓語(yǔ),在主語(yǔ)those papers后加了一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾主語(yǔ)。
在while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中,整體結(jié)構(gòu)和主句類(lèi)似,同樣是主語(yǔ)后加了that 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,所以graced是that從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,are becoming是狀語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,the “think pieces”是狀語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)。
a thing 是賓語(yǔ),of the past介詞短語(yǔ)修飾賓語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ),在主語(yǔ)the “think pieces”后加了一個(gè)on介詞短語(yǔ)以及一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句全部用來(lái)修飾主語(yǔ)。

在斷句的時(shí)候,我們可以看句子本身是否存在標(biāo)點(diǎn),可以根據(jù)標(biāo)點(diǎn)去斷句。
倘若整個(gè)句子無(wú)標(biāo)點(diǎn),我們可以根據(jù)連詞:when / since/ because/ that/ which 等去斷句,或者介詞:in /at / on/ without/ beyond 等去斷句。

We are even farther removed/ from the unfocused newspaper reviews published /in England /between the turn of the 20th century /and the eve of World War II, /at a time /when newsprint was dirt-cheap / and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications /in which it appeared.
句子主干部分:
We (主語(yǔ))are (系動(dòng)詞)even farther removed(表語(yǔ)) from the unfocused newspaper reviews(狀語(yǔ));published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II 作后置定語(yǔ)修飾reviews,
很明顯published 修飾的是reviews, focused 一般理解為焦點(diǎn)的,聚焦的,有重點(diǎn)的,focused newspaper 可以譯為主題鮮明的報(bào)紙,那么unfocused newspaper 則為主題多樣的報(bào)紙,雜感式報(bào)紙。
剩余部分分析:
at a time為介詞短語(yǔ) 作World War II,的同位語(yǔ),介詞短語(yǔ)其后緊跟兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,at a time (先行詞)when(關(guān)系副詞) newsprint(主語(yǔ)) was dirt-cheap(謂語(yǔ)) and (并列連詞)stylish arts criticism(主語(yǔ)) was considered (謂語(yǔ))an ornament to the publications in which it appeared(整體作賓語(yǔ)。其中,which 關(guān)系代詞,先行詞為the publications)
該部分中的生詞,ornament 譯為裝飾,擺設(shè),點(diǎn)綴。dirt-cheap 譯為毫無(wú)價(jià)值的,戲如糞土的,非常便宜的。stylish 譯為時(shí)髦的,現(xiàn)代風(fēng)格的,瀟灑的,雅致的。arts criticism 譯為藝術(shù)評(píng)論。
綜合,本句譯文為:
我們與20世紀(jì)初至二戰(zhàn)前夕英國(guó)的雜感式報(bào)紙?jiān)u論就更是無(wú)緣了,當(dāng)時(shí),新聞?dòng)眉垉r(jià)廉如土,風(fēng)格獨(dú)特的藝術(shù)評(píng)論被看作是對(duì)刊登它的出版物的一種裝飾。
