復(fù)雜的否定句的拆分和理解 例185

例185　While it is true that this competition may induce efforts to expand territory at the expense of others, and thus lead to conflict, it can not be said that war-like conflict among nations is inevitable, although competition is.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是個典型的雙重否定句，這句話前半句是讓步狀語從句While it is true that this competition may induce efforts to expand territory at the expense of others, and thus lead to conflict，后面是主干it can not be said...，后面是真正的主語從句，也就是that war-like conflict among nations is inevitable，后面加上狀語從句although competition is。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于很長的讓步狀語從句加上超級雙重否定再加上讓步狀語從句。

【核心詞匯】

induce　導(dǎo)致

expand territory　擴(kuò)大領(lǐng)地

at the expense of　犧牲……代價

war-like conflict　戰(zhàn)爭級別的沖突

inevitable　不可以避免

【參考譯文】雖然毫無疑問的是這次競爭會引發(fā)很多國家極力擴(kuò)大自己的地盤來犧牲別的國家的利益，甚至可能導(dǎo)致沖突，但是雖然有競爭，但是戰(zhàn)爭級別的沖突時可以避免。
