好多同学面对长难句,都有畏难情绪,不愿意复习。其实,这样是不正确的,长难句虽然确实有难度,但只要我们认真学习,不断总结解题方法,还是能够掌握好长难句的。现在,我们就来看看下面这个长难句分析举例。
Additional social stress may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements--themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport.
解析:
句子主干是Additional social stress may also occur。because of 的后边接两个名词短语the population explosion和problems arising from mass migration movements--themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport来表示原因。其中,第二个名词短语又含有一个短语themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport来补充说明mass migration movements。因此,这里的代词themselves指代名词短语mass migration movements。"made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport"为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰themselves。
参考译文:
由于人口的猛增或大量的人口流动(现代交通工具使这种流通变得相对容易)造成的种种问题也回对社会造成新的压力。
看了上面的举例,你是不是也觉得长难句并不难了!对于长难句的深入学习,我们还可以看看何凯文老师的2017《考研英语长难句解密》,会对我们复习长难句很有启发性。
