2015年大學英語六級閱讀長難句分析(16)

　　1.Alcohol, hunger, too much talking, breathing through the mouth during exercise-anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath. (1998. 閱讀. 1. Text 3)

　　【譯文】酒精，饑餓，說話太多，鍛煉時時用口腔呼吸——所有引起口腔干燥的行為都會引起口臭。

　　【析句】例句1中，首先列舉了四個引起口臭的例子，包括名詞和動名詞，破折號后是主句anything produces bad breath，而主句主語anything后that dries the mouth是定語從句修飾anything。

　　2. Bottom retail prices-anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia-have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $79 billion in 1994. (1998. 閱讀. 1. Text)

　　【譯文】美國商品的最低零售價——比歐洲和亞洲任何國家低30%到70%——吸引了約四千七百萬游客，1994年有望在美國消費七百九十億美元。

　　【析句】復合句。主句是Bottom retail prices have attracted some...visitors。主句中，兩個破折號之間的內(nèi)容anywhere from...Asia作插入語。主句后，who are expected to leave...是定語從句修飾visitors。

　　3. Home schoolers, oppose the system because they have strong convictions that their approach to education-whether fueled by religious enthusiasm or the individual child’s interests and natural pace-is best. (1998. 閱讀. 6. Text 2)

　　【譯文】家庭教育者之所以反對現(xiàn)有的教育體系，是因為他們堅信，他們的教育方式——無論是以宗教信仰還是以孩子個人興趣和自然發(fā)展為動力——都是最好的。

　　【析句】與例句2結構相似，句子中都有插入語。主句是Home schoolers oppose the system,主句后接著是because引導的原因狀語從句because they have strong convictions.that their approach to education is best作strong convictions的同位語，說明convictions的內(nèi)容。而在同位語中，兩個破折號之間的whether fueled by religious enthusiasm or the individual child's...pace作插入語修飾their approach to education。
