第六讲:复杂长难句
专题概述
由二个或二个以上的分句,用并列连词连接所组成的句子,称为并列句。
由一个主句加上一个以上的从句所构成的句子,称为复合句。
一个句子中包含包括并列句和复合句叫做复杂句。
语法考点
长难句一般是由“主干部分+四长两短一并列”组成的,我们可把这个“四长两短一并列”称为构成英语句子的“组件”21世纪教育网版权所有
所谓“四长”,就是构成长难句的四种较长修饰成分,即形容词短语,介词短语、非谓语动词短语和从句
所谓“两短”,指的是镶嵌于句子之中的、会稍稍提高句子复杂度的两种较短修饰成分,即形容词、副词。
而除了“四长两短”之外,另 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )外一个使句子变得复杂的结构就是“平行并列结构”。“平行并列结构”是由一些并列关系的连词(and、or、as well as等)构成,是将句子变长的重要手段。21·cn·jy·com
并列结构可以是多层次的并列,所以要注意寻找同级并列元素。

3. In general,the test ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicted can be not well defined.

5.It leads the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )discussion to extremes at the outset:it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans,or with no consideration at all.
6. But even m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore important,it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past,for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.
7. Thus it hap ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pened that when the new factories that were springing up required labor,tens of thousands of homeless and hungry agricultural workers,with their wives and children,were forced into the cities in search of work,and any work,under any condition,that would keep them alive.
8. As a result of two ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) or three centuries of scientific investigation we have come to believe that nature is understandable in the sense that when we ask her questions by way of appropriate observations and experiments,she will answer truly and reward us with discoveries that endure.
9. These new observat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ional capabilities would result in simply a mass of details were it not for the fact that theoretical understanding has reached the stage at which it is becoming possible to indicate the kind of measurements required for reliable weather forecasting.
10. The story of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the discovery of what is now generally called the principle of Archimedes,namely that a solid body when immersed in a liquid loses a portion of its weight of the liquid it displaces,has many different versions,of which the following is one.
11. We assumed that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) there were forces of attraction between molecules which varied rapidly with the distance so that the attraction between molecules that were more than a few ten millionths of a millimeter apart was very small but became considerable when the molecules approached more closely.

Painting lacks onl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y the means to represent movement in time and space,which is the special property of sculpture and architecture,since a painting is designed to be seen from one point at one time,whereas sculpture and architecture are created to be seen from various points of view,thus supplying movements in space and time.

分析下列句子结构并翻译句子意思
1.Thus,a regularity f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or which there are general theoretical grounds will be more readily called a natural law than an empirical regularity that cannot be subsumed under more general laws or theories.
2.It is becaus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of the close association in most people's minds of tools with man that special attention has always been focused upon any animal able to use an object as a tool,but it is important to realize that this ability,on its own,does not necessarily indicate any special intelligence in the creature concerned.
3.The point at which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tool using and tool making acquire evolutionary significance is surely when an animal can adapt its ability to manipulate objects to a wide variety of purposes,and when it can use an object spontaneously to solve a brand-new problem that without the use of a tool would prove insoluble.
4.Such large, imper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business.
5.So don't be su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rprised if you never encounter some of the expressions that still appear in school textbooks;and next time you hear somebody using a strange word you haven't heard before,you can comfort yourself that there may well be a native speaker somewhere who doesn’t know it either.
6.Despite th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e saying that one never knows if lightning strikes him,a person can sometimes feel the bolt coming and if quick enough,take protective action in time.

8.The paid m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands,but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business now passing away.
9.When a journalist re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cently accused the company of lacking integrity in its testing of beauty products,the company overtly appealed to the public by citing its corporate brand,which was firmly associated in people's minds with strong ethical standards concerning animal rights.
10.However,the crim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inals quickly came to realize that the real value in the computers is in the chip which is remarkably portable and unidentifiable,so even when caught the police had trouble proving the theft.

8.译文:由于两三个世纪以来的科学研究成果,我们逐渐相信,如果运用合适的观察和实验方法向大自然探究问题,她会真心实意地给我们答复,并且以永垂不朽的发现来报答我们。从这个意义上来说,大自然是可以认识的。
9.译文:理论上的认识已达到了这样一个阶段,即现在已能指出需要哪种测量方式才能可靠地预报天气。如果做不到这一点,那么上述这些新的观察能力只不过提供了一大堆细节而已。
10.译文:当固体浸没到液体中时,固体会失去它所排出的液体的那部分重量,这就是现在通常所谓的阿基米德原理。有关这一发现的故事说法众多,下面的故事就是其中之一。
11.译文:我们曾经假定,分子之间存在引力,这种引力随着分子之间距离的不同而有显著的变化,因而,在间距为千万分之几毫米的分子之间的引力是很小的,但是分子靠得很近时,这种引力会变得相当大。
12.译文:这一需要被正式载入可持续发展的概念之中。所谓可持续发展是指:为了子孙后代的利益,我们必须保留足够的生存环境空间,以满足他们的需要,施展抱负。
13.译文:绘画缺少的仅仅是表现空间与时间变化的手法,而这正是雕塑与建筑的特性。绘画时只要求在某一时刻,从空间的一点来欣赏,而雕塑和建筑的创造则要求从各个角度来欣赏,这样就表现出了空间,时间的变化。
