2018考研英語沖刺之長難句翻譯賞析

所謂長難句，就是指句子中有著復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu)和一些生僻名詞或者熟詞僻意詞匯，句子本身較長，結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，理解有難度，試想，如果句子中的詞匯不是很熟悉，一定會對理解造成一定的影響，考研英語一中會出現(xiàn)超綱詞匯，考生不可避免的會“懵”出詞匯含義，這就考察到翻譯的技巧。下面為考生展現(xiàn)了一些晶燦的長難句翻譯，希望考生從中領(lǐng)悟翻譯精髓。

It is not obvious how the capacity to visualize s and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.【精彩譯文】構(gòu)思物體和找出數(shù)字模型的能力是如何讓一個人去回答那些連最好的詩人和哲學(xué)家都回避的問題的，這點我們還不是很清楚。

Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters,whether it’s knowing when to guess or what question to skip.【精彩譯文】任何一個參加過SAT考試的人都會證實考試的技巧也很重要，無論這種技巧是知道什么時候去猜還是知道什么問題應(yīng)該跳過。

On another level ,many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.【精彩譯文】在另一個層面上，很多醫(yī)療界的人事承認(rèn)，關(guān)于醫(yī)生幫助下的自殺的討論部分是因為病人的絕望情緒，對病人來說，現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)已經(jīng)延長了死亡的身體痛苦。

The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training , and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.【精彩譯文】很自然，這種趨勢會在尤以數(shù)學(xué)或?qū)嶒炇矣?xùn)練為基礎(chǔ)的自然科學(xué)領(lǐng)域中表現(xiàn)得最為明顯，并且可以用英國的地質(zhì)學(xué)發(fā)展作為例證來說明。

The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for“birgin”forest.【精彩譯文】有理論認(rèn)為亞馬遜流域很大一部分從過去的農(nóng)業(yè)耕作中如此完美地恢復(fù)了過來，以至于哪些重新生長的部分被好幾代生物學(xué)家都錯誤地認(rèn)為是原始森林。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)一步地證明了這一理論。

An invisible border divides those arguing for computers in the classroom on the behalf of student’s career prospects and those arguing for computers in the classroom for broader reasons of radical education reform.【精彩譯文】一條五星的界限將支持計算機(jī)課堂的人分成兩類：一類是從學(xué)生的職業(yè)前景出發(fā)考慮的，另一類人想得是像教育的徹底改革這樣的一些更廣泛的理由。

Instead , we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles , which now more than

凱程考研，為學(xué)員服務(wù)，為學(xué)生引路！

ever seem in ample supply:the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home;the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants;the jouranlist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.【精彩譯文】相反，我們看到了這些非常虛偽的景象，他們似乎比以前的任何時候都更多見：批判美國式物質(zhì)主義的人卻擁有位于南安普頓的避暑山莊；激進(jìn)書籍的出版商卻在三星級餐廳享用一日三餐；倡導(dǎo)在人生各個階段實施參與制民主的記者，他的子女卻就讀于私立學(xué)校。

考研成功難又不難，一旦大家開始準(zhǔn)備就要全力以赴。自制力差的學(xué)生可以找?guī)讉€研友，互相激勵，因為堅持下來也確實不容易，也看個人習(xí)慣，有的同學(xué)可能一個人學(xué)習(xí)更有效率；在這個過程中更主要的還有大家堅持的信念，堅持完成一件事情本身就是成功。

在三百多天的日子里，老師會一直陪伴著大家，里邊的每條微博、微信、咨詢都是溫暖大家并激勵大家前行的動力。奔跑吧，2018的考生們！

雖然有突破口、也有規(guī)律可循，但這并不意味著我們可以一勞永逸、高枕無憂，要知道，想要精通世界上任何一門語言，除非有天生的語言天分，否則偷不得半分懶，只能勤勤懇懇反復(fù)練習(xí)。一遍不懂讀兩遍，默念不行就大聲念出來，遇到不認(rèn)識的單詞就查，不懂的句子就靜下心來拆分結(jié)構(gòu)?？傊?，讀書百遍、其義自現(xiàn)，英語學(xué)習(xí)之路上沒有笨蛋，只有懶人。綜上就是小編給大家提供的高分技巧，技巧就是牢固的知識點和強(qiáng)悍的答題思路，預(yù)祝所有考生2018考研有個好成績。凱程教育：

凱程考研成立于2005年，國內(nèi)首家全日制集訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)考研，一直從事高端全日制輔導(dǎo)，由李海洋教授、張鑫教授、盧營教授、王洋教授、楊武金教授、張釋然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高級考研教研隊伍組成，為學(xué)員全程高質(zhì)量授課、答疑、測試、督導(dǎo)、報考指導(dǎo)、方法指導(dǎo)、聯(lián)系導(dǎo)師、復(fù)試等全方位的考研服務(wù)。凱程考研的宗旨：讓學(xué)習(xí)成為一種習(xí)慣；

凱程考研的價值觀口號：凱旋歸來，前程萬里； 信念：讓每個學(xué)員都有好最好的歸宿；

使命：完善全新的教育模式，做中國最專業(yè)的考研輔導(dǎo)機(jī)構(gòu)； 激情：永不言棄，樂觀向上；

敬業(yè)：以專業(yè)的態(tài)度做非凡的事業(yè)；

服務(wù)：以學(xué)員的前途為已任，為學(xué)員提供高效、專業(yè)的服務(wù)，團(tuán)隊合作，為學(xué)員服務(wù)，為學(xué)員引路。

如何選擇考研輔導(dǎo)班：

在考研準(zhǔn)備的過程中，會遇到不少困難，尤其對于跨專業(yè)考生的專業(yè)課來說，通過報輔導(dǎo)班來彌補(bǔ)自己復(fù)習(xí)的不足，可以大大提高復(fù)習(xí)效率，節(jié)省復(fù)習(xí)時間，大家可以通過以下幾個方面來考察輔導(dǎo)班，或許能幫你找到適合你的輔導(dǎo)班。

師資力量：師資力量是考察輔導(dǎo)班的首要因素，考生可以針對輔導(dǎo)名師的輔導(dǎo)年限、輔導(dǎo)經(jīng)驗、歷年輔導(dǎo)效果、學(xué)員評價等因素進(jìn)行綜合評價，詢問往屆學(xué)長然后選擇。判斷師資力量關(guān)鍵在于綜合實力，因為任何一門課程，都不是由

一、兩個教師包到底的，是一批教師配合

凱程考研，為學(xué)員服務(wù)，為學(xué)生引路！

的結(jié)果。還要深入了解教師的學(xué)術(shù)背景、資料著述成就、輔導(dǎo)成就等。凱程考研名師云集，李海洋、張鑫教授、方浩教授、盧營教授、孫浩教授等一大批名師在凱程授課。而有的機(jī)構(gòu)只是很普通的老師授課，對知識點把握和命題方向，欠缺火候。

對該專業(yè)有輔導(dǎo)歷史：必須對該專業(yè)深刻理解，才能深入輔導(dǎo)學(xué)員考取該校。在考研輔導(dǎo)班中，從來見過如此輝煌的成績：凱程教育拿下2015五道口金融學(xué)院狀元，考取五道口15人，清華經(jīng)管金融碩士10人，人大金融碩士15個，中財和貿(mào)大金融碩士合計20人，北師大教育學(xué)7人，會計碩士保錄班考取30人，翻譯碩士接近20人，中傳狀元王園璐、鄭家威都是來自凱程，法學(xué)方面，凱程在人大、北大、貿(mào)大、政法、武漢大學(xué)、公安大學(xué)等院校斬獲多個法學(xué)和法碩狀元，更多專業(yè)成績請查看凱程網(wǎng)站。在凱程官方網(wǎng)站的光榮榜，成功學(xué)員經(jīng)驗談視頻特別多，都是凱程戰(zhàn)績的最好證明。對于如此高的成績，凱程集訓(xùn)營班主任邢老師說，凱程如此優(yōu)異的成績，是與我們凱程嚴(yán)格的管理，全方位的輔導(dǎo)是分不開的，很多學(xué)生本科都不是名校，某些學(xué)生來自二本三本甚至不知名的院校，還有很多是工作了多年才回來考的，大多數(shù)是跨專業(yè)考研，他們的難度大，競爭激烈，沒有嚴(yán)格的訓(xùn)練和同學(xué)們的刻苦學(xué)習(xí)，是很難達(dá)到優(yōu)異的成績。最好的辦法是直接和凱程老師詳細(xì)溝通一下就清楚了。

建校歷史：機(jī)構(gòu)成立的歷史也是一個參考因素，歷史越久，積累的人脈資源更多。例如，凱程教育已經(jīng)成立10年（2005年），一直以來專注于考研，成功率一直遙遙領(lǐng)先，同學(xué)們有興趣可以聯(lián)系一下他們在線老師或者電話。

有沒有實體學(xué)校校區(qū)：有些機(jī)構(gòu)比較小，就是一個在寫字樓里上課，自習(xí)，這種環(huán)境是不太好的，一個優(yōu)秀的機(jī)構(gòu)必須是在教學(xué)環(huán)境，大學(xué)校園這樣環(huán)境。凱程有自己的學(xué)習(xí)校區(qū)，有吃住學(xué)一體化教學(xué)環(huán)境，獨立衛(wèi)浴、空調(diào)、暖氣齊全，這也是一個考研機(jī)構(gòu)實力的體現(xiàn)。此外，最好還要看一下他們的營業(yè)執(zhí)照。

2018考研英語真題之長難句翻譯及解析(三)

1.But,for a small group of students, professional training might be the way to go since well-developed skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job and not.[參考譯文] 但是，對一個小部分學(xué)生來說，職業(yè)教育也是條可取的路徑。因為在其他因素相同的情況下，技能的嫻熟是得到工作與否的關(guān)鍵。

2.Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment-although no one had proposed to do so--and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.[參考譯文] 他宣布自己反對使用這種非同尋常的畜牧繁殖技術(shù)來克隆人類，并下令.不準(zhǔn)聯(lián)邦政府基金用于做此類試驗--盡管還沒有人建議這么做--他還請一個以普林斯頓大學(xué)校長哈羅得·夏皮羅為首的獨立的專家組在90 天內(nèi)向白宮匯報關(guān)于制定有關(guān)克隆人的國家政策的建議。

3.In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be “morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning”.[參考譯文] 在5月17日的會議上所討論的這份建議書的序言草案中，夏皮羅提出，專家組已經(jīng)達(dá)成廣泛共識，那就是“試圖通過成人細(xì)胞核克隆來制造人類幼兒的做法在道德上是不可接受的”。

4.Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos(the earliest stage of human offspring before birth)for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo“s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.[參考譯文] 因為現(xiàn)今的聯(lián)邦法律已經(jīng)禁止使用聯(lián)邦基金克隆胚胎(人類后裔在出生前的最早階段)用于研究或者有意地威脅胚胎的生命，NBAC在胚胎研究上將保持沉默。

5.If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.[參考譯文] 如果試驗是像科學(xué)雜志上的報告所示的那樣如實地根據(jù)計劃規(guī)劃和實施的話，那么對管理層來說，期待研究能夠產(chǎn)生可以用金錢衡量的結(jié)果是完全合理的。

6.It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn

one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.[參考譯文] 審查者完全有理由相信，知道自己準(zhǔn)備做什么、怎么做的科學(xué)家不應(yīng)該因為必須一只眼盯著收銀機(jī)，一只眼盯著顯微鏡而分散了注意力。

7.Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the ”odd balls“ among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who ”work well with the team.“

[參考譯文] 如果科學(xué)家對標(biāo)準(zhǔn)式樣的整齊劃一的要求就像他論文的寫作所反映的一樣，那么管理層就不該因歧視研究者中的”思維與眾不同的人“，喜歡其中較為傳統(tǒng)的”善于團(tuán)隊合作“的思想者而受到指責(zé)了。

8.The grand mediocrity of today--everyone being the same in survival and number of off-spring--means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribe.[參考譯文] 當(dāng)今人與人在很大程度上的平等--即面對自然淘汰法則人人機(jī)會均等，并且連子嗣的數(shù)目都一樣--意味著和在印度土著部落中的情況相比，印度中上層階級中已喪失了80%的自然選擇中的優(yōu)勢。

9.When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.[參考譯文] 當(dāng)藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的一個新運動發(fā)展成某種流行時尚時，最好應(yīng)該弄清這場運動倡導(dǎo)者的真正意圖，因為，不管他們的原則在今天看來多么牽強(qiáng)無理，很可能多年以后他們的理論會被視為正常。

10.With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right--it can hardly be classed as Literature.[參考譯文] 然而就未來主義詩歌來說，情況則不這么簡單了，因為不管未來主義詩歌是什么--就算承認(rèn)它賴以存在的理論基礎(chǔ)都是正確的--這種形式也很難被歸入文學(xué)。

11.The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for a mateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the 19th century and then by several local geological journals in the 20th century.[參考譯文] 這樣一來總的結(jié)果便是業(yè)余愛好者想在專業(yè)地質(zhì)學(xué)期刊…卜發(fā)表文章就更難了，而被廣泛使用的論文評審?fù)扑]制度又進(jìn)一步強(qiáng)化了這一結(jié)果，該種制度先是出現(xiàn)在可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn

19世紀(jì)的國家級刊物上，后又在20世紀(jì)被幾家地方級地質(zhì)學(xué)刊物所使用。

12.A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.[參考譯文] 一個頗為相似的分化過程已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致專業(yè)的地質(zhì)學(xué)家走到一起組成一到兩個全國性的?？茖W(xué)術(shù)社團(tuán)，而業(yè)余地質(zhì)愛好者們傾向于要么仍留在地方社團(tuán)，要么也以另一種方式組成全國性機(jī)構(gòu)。

13.Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low--level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head--scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.[參考譯文] 遺憾地講，這次新聞機(jī)構(gòu)可信度調(diào)查計劃結(jié)果只獲得了一些十分低層次的發(fā)現(xiàn)，比如新聞報道中的事實錯誤，拼寫或語法錯誤(和這些低層次發(fā)現(xiàn))交織在一起的還有許多令人撓頭的困惑，譬如讀者到底想讀些什么。

14.I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&M wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers” demands.[參考譯文] 我認(rèn)為巨大的并購浪潮背后的最重要的推動力同時也就是促成全球化進(jìn)程的那方基石：即降低交通運輸成本，逐漸減少貿(mào)易投資壁壘，以及大幅度拓展市場，這些都要求更大規(guī)模的經(jīng)營管理以滿足消費者需求。

15.A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress promoted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family.”

[參考譯文] 一次側(cè)面的不光明磊落的攻擊傷害了我的自尊，阻礙了我事業(yè)的發(fā)展，使我不得不拋棄了那份引人注目的工作，盡管表面上我還要以一個蒙受屈辱的政府部長的姿態(tài)，通過聲稱“我只不過是想多和家人呆在一起” 來掩蓋我的退出。

16.I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.[參考譯文] 或許正像凱爾西在不堪積勞重負(fù)而公開地辭去她在《她》雜志社的編輯

一職之后一樣，我已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，放棄那種”為生活忙碌“的人生信條并轉(zhuǎn) 可銳教育官網(wǎng)http://004km.cn

而追求比較悠閑的生活帶給你的回報遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于經(jīng)濟(jì)成功和社會地位。

17.While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline-after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late ” 80s-and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle-class down shifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.[參考譯文] 在美國，這一返樸趨勢是以經(jīng)濟(jì)衰落的反應(yīng)為開始的--那是在80年

代末期裁員而引起大量的失業(yè)之后一一現(xiàn)在依然與提倡節(jié)儉的政綱相：

關(guān);而在英國，最起碼在我所熟識的中產(chǎn)階級返樸歸隱者中，追求簡約;生活的原因就多種多樣了。

18.For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the“ 80s, down-shifting in the mid” 90s is not so much a search for the mythical good lift-growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one-as a personal recognition of your limitations.[參考譯文] 對于我這一代曾在整個80年代為生活奔波的女人來說，90年代中期出

現(xiàn)的歸隱恬退與其說是我們尋求一種神話般的美好生活--用有機(jī)肥種植蔬菜，并且自己放棄一切的風(fēng)險--不如說是我們清醒地認(rèn)識到自身;能力是有限的這一事實。

19.If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it“ 11 be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman” s notorious bad taste in ties.[參考譯文] 如果你是你講話對象中的一員，那么你就身處一種(有利)位置宋了解對你們來說都很普遍的經(jīng)歷和問題，而且你對餐廳中難以下咽的食物或老總臭名昭彰的領(lǐng)帶品位進(jìn)行隨意評判也是合適的。

20.There are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy--far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their handsaone

[參考譯文] 現(xiàn)在已有一些機(jī)器人系統(tǒng)能夠進(jìn)行精確到毫米以下的腦部和骨骼手術(shù)——這要比極具技巧的醫(yī)生單單用手精確得多。

2014考研英語難句翻譯之三

一For instance, the mass-production philosophy of United States automakers

encouraged the production of huge lots of cars in order to utilize fully expensive,component-specific equipment and to occupy fully workers who have been

trained to execute one operation efficiently.詞匯突破： philosophy理念(哲學(xué))

the production ofhuge lots of cars 大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)汽車

Component-specific equipment 制造專用零件的設(shè)備

execute one operation 執(zhí)行一步操作

efficiently 高效地

主干識別: The mass-production philosophy（of

United States automakers 定語）

encouraged the production of huge lots of cars

其他成分：in order to utilize fully

expensive,component-specific equipment and to occupy fully workers目的狀語

who have been trained to execute

oneoperation efficiently.定語從句（who = workers）（翻譯時可以單獨成句）

參考譯文：比如說，美國汽車制造商們的大規(guī)模生

產(chǎn)的理念鼓勵大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)汽車，目的是為了（不僅）能完全利用昂貴的制造專用零件的設(shè)備，而且一些工人經(jīng)過培訓(xùn)可以高效的執(zhí)行單一的操作，這樣以來就能完全充分地利用這些工人時間。

二Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which，in its strongest form，states that language imprisons the mind，and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society.主干識別: Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism

其他成分： which，in its strongest from，states

that language imprisons the mind，and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society.定語從句

翻譯點撥：詞匯的處理：

1）a sort of 某種

2)linguistic determinism語言決定論

3)in its strongest form其極端說法是;

4)imprison the mind禁錮思維

5)far-reaching 深遠(yuǎn)的;伸得很遠(yuǎn)的；

主句的處理：

Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism.Whorf逐漸相信了某種語言決定論；定語從句的處理：

which，in its strongest from，states that language imprisons the mind，and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society

in its strongest from其極端的說法其極端的說法是認(rèn)為…和 認(rèn)為…

狀語的處理：

for the culture of a society

對社會的文化..參考譯文：Whorf逐漸接受了某種語言決定論；這種觀點的極端說法是：語言禁錮了思想，語言的語法模式可以對某種社會文化產(chǎn)生深遠(yuǎn)的影響

三When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather[ft=rgb(217, 226),1,verdana]221, than laughed at.主干識別：it is not a mistake

其他成分：狀語：When that happens

冒號引導(dǎo)的一個從句：it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action

同位語：an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.翻譯點撥： When that happens, it is not a mistake指代的合并翻譯：

that(代詞作主語)聯(lián)系上下文譯為這種反應(yīng)直譯：當(dāng)這種反應(yīng)發(fā)生的時候，這種反應(yīng)是沒有錯誤的。

合譯：這種反應(yīng)是沒有錯的詞的點撥： mankind's instinct for moral reasoning 人類道德觀念推理的本能

in action 起作用

rather than 而不是

參考譯文：這種反應(yīng)并不錯，這是人類用道德觀念進(jìn)行推理的本能在起作用，這種本能應(yīng)得到鼓勵而不應(yīng)遭到嘲弄。

四 Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.【詞匯突破】lawsuit 法律訴訟

compendsate 賠償

warn of 警告

liable 負(fù)責(zé)

juries 陪審團(tuán)

【主干識別】or連接兩個并列的句子前一句主干為：a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.后一句為：the thinking has gone has gone so.【其他成分】第一句：luckily狀語；if the doormat or

stove failed to warn of coming disaster狀語；

第二句：since the early 1980s, 狀語；when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes定語從句修飾the early 1980s.【微觀解析】when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes定語從句中holding所接賓語為一獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)相當(dāng)于一個名詞，其完整形式是：More companies are liable for their customers’ misfoutunes，其中are 變?yōu)閎eing ,being再被省去，詳細(xì)內(nèi)容可以參看獨立主格的講解。

【難點揭秘】這個句子難點就是so 在句子中的位置發(fā)生了改變，到了or 后面，而剛好 or so 是一個熟悉的短語可以修飾1980’s是很有可能誤解為：the thinking has gone，這樣句子的意思就反生了完全的改變。

【譯文賞析】幸運的是，如果門墊或者是火爐沒有能警告即將到來的災(zāi)難，你可以通過一場成功的法律訴訟來賠償你的麻煩。從1980年代的早期以來人們的想法就是這樣的了，那時候法庭認(rèn)為商家對消費者的不幸應(yīng)該負(fù)擔(dān)更多的責(zé)任。

2018考研英語長難句翻譯講解（2）

長短句是考研英語的一大重難點，打好長短句翻譯基礎(chǔ)，將會給我們的翻譯和作文帶來巨大的幫助。

1.That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court's decisions will be accepted as impartial judgements.【分析】復(fù)合句，主句為 That kind of activity makes it less likely, it 是形式賓語，真正的賓語是 that 引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句。
