復(fù)雜的倒裝句的拆分和理解 例154

例154　Although perhaps only 1 percent of the life that has started somewhere will develop into highly complex and intelligent patterns, so vast is the number of planets that intelligent life is bound to be a natural part of the universe.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句子前半句是個讓步狀語從句Although perhaps only 1 percent of the life that has started somewhere will develop into highly complex and intelligent patterns，后面是so...that...引導(dǎo)的倒裝句，so后面倒裝，that后面不倒裝，so vast是個表語，被倒裝到了前面，后面是系動詞is，后面是真正的主語the number of planets, that后面是后半句，用的是正常語序，intelligent life is bound to be a natural part of the universe。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點so...that...引導(dǎo)的倒裝句，so后面倒裝，that后面不倒裝，比如正常語序是she is so charming that everybody loves her.倒裝為So charming is she that everybody loves her。

【核心詞匯】

highly complex　高度復(fù)雜的

intelligent　智能的

vast　大量的

intelligent life　智能生命

be bound to　必然

【參考譯文】雖然只有在某個地方起源的生物中只有百分之一能變成高度復(fù)雜和智能的生物，但是宇宙的行星如此眾多，以致于智能生命必然是宇宙中正常的一部分。
