例160 Never when topic discussions avoided the subjects which are fashionable enough to give rise to curiosity was the mind of teenagers stirred up from its foundations and the purpose of discussions fulfilled.
【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是副詞Never引導的倒裝句,中間加上插入語,when引導的時間狀語從句,也就是when topic discussions avoided the subjects...,該時間狀語從句里面套有定語從句which are fashionable enough to give rise to curiosity,后面是真正的句子主干was the mind of teenagers stirred up from its foundations and the purpose of discussions fulfilled。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于否定性副詞never引導的倒裝句,否定副詞放在句首,可以引導倒裝句,比如Never will I forget about her,這種否定倒裝句在考研中很常見,增加否定的意義。
【核心詞匯】
topic discussions 話題討論
fashionable 時尚的
give rise to 引起
curiosity 好奇心
stirred up 被激發(fā)
from its foundations 從根本上說
【參考譯文】如果話題討論偏離了足以引起孩子好奇心的時髦的話題,那么孩子的思維能力很難被激發(fā),而且討論的目的難以實現(xiàn)。
