復(fù)雜的狀語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例126

例126　On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence, but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the others with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是個(gè)典型的轉(zhuǎn)折句，but前面是個(gè)被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，也就是such a conclusion can be drawn，后面是個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)做狀語(yǔ)修飾整個(gè)句子，也就是with a certain degree of confidence, but后面談的是這個(gè)結(jié)論的兩個(gè)必要條件，是兩個(gè)并列的條件狀語(yǔ)從句，第一個(gè)條件句是only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the others，后面是定語(yǔ)從句with whom he is being compared，第二個(gè)條件句是only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information，后面是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句which they possessed。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)是兩個(gè)條件句的超級(jí)使用，其中每個(gè)條件句里面都有定語(yǔ)從句，條件句套上定語(yǔ)從句很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

a conclusion can be drawn　得出這種結(jié)論

with a certain degree of confidence　有一定程度把握的

the others with whom he is being compared　與他比較的另一個(gè)孩子

by lack of relevant information which they possessed　缺乏別的孩子所具有的有關(guān)知識(shí)

【參考譯文】總的來(lái)說(shuō)，得出這種結(jié)論是有一定程度把握的，但是必須具備兩個(gè)條件：能夠假定這個(gè)孩子對(duì)測(cè)試的態(tài)度和與他比較的另一個(gè)孩子的態(tài)度相同；他也沒(méi)有因?yàn)槿狈e的孩子所具有的有關(guān)知識(shí)而受影響。
