Analyze the important sentences among the text
1. Affected with a serious disease, Van Wendel was no longer able to speak clearly and he knew there was no hope of recovery and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. (p2)
譯:因患有嚴重的疾病,Van Wendel再也不能清楚地講話了,他知道他已經沒有康復的可能,其病情正在迅速惡化。
句子分析:Affected with a serious disease是過去分詞短語做原因狀語,可以改寫成原因狀語從句:because he was affected with a serious disease, ….另外,there was no hope of recovery和that his condition was rapidly deteriorating都是動詞knew的賓語。詞組:be affected with sth患有…疾病。如:
All the cows in the farm are affected with mad-cow disease.
hope of recovery:康復的希望。
2. Van Wendel's last three months of life before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor were filmed and showed on TV last year in the Netherlands. (p3)
譯:Van Wendel在他的醫(yī)生給她進行最后結束生命的那一陣之前的后三個月的生活被拍成了電影并于去年在荷蘭的電視上首次播映。
句子分析:該句的主語較長,were之前均是。其中,核心名詞Van Wendel's last three months of life,后面的before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor是動名詞的被動語態(tài)做定語。film這里當動詞用,拍電影。
3. The programme has since been bought by 20 countries and each time it is shown, it starts a nationwide debate on the subject. (p3)
譯:這個節(jié)目此后被二十個國家所購買。每次放映,都引起一場關于這個主題的全國性的大討論。
句子分析:這是一個??季渥???键c一:since: adv 從那以后;考點二:each time是名詞作時間狀語,前面不用介詞;考點三:debate on sth關于…的討論。
4. However, doctors who carry out euthanasia under strict guidelines introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago are usually not prosecuted. (p4)
譯:然而,在荷蘭議會兩年前提出的議案的指導原則下執(zhí)行安樂死的醫(yī)生,通常是不會被起訴的。
句子分析:該句核心內容有三點:carry out …實施,執(zhí)行;under…guidelines在…原則下,under是按照,根據(jù)的意思;introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago是過去分詞短語做定語,修飾guidelines。
5. Should doctors be allowed to take the lives of others? (p5)
譯:醫(yī)生應該被允許去結束他人的性命嗎?
句子分析:該句中主要核心內容是:情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)。情態(tài)動詞+be+動詞過去分詞。如:In hot days, flowers must be watered every day.
6. Cicely Saunders, President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement, argues that euthanasia doesn't take into account that there are ways of caring for the dying. (p8)
譯:C.S是國家收容所委員會的主席和收容運動的發(fā)起人,認為安樂死并沒有考慮到照顧臨終病人有多種方式。
句子分析:主語Cicely Saunders,President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement是主語的同位語,謂語后面是一個賓語從句,而其中又包括一個小的賓語從句。重要詞組:take sth into account = take sth into consideration將…考慮在內。如:when judging his performance, don't take his age into account. 另一個詞組:care for關心某人。
7. It's very easy in society now for the elderly, the disabled and the dependent to feel that they are burdens, and therefore that they ought to opt out. (p8)
譯:這很容易使老人們,殘疾人和依靠別人生存的人感覺到他們是負擔,因此應該選擇離開人世。
句子分析:該句it是形式主語,真正的主語是動詞不定式,to feel that they are burdens, and therefore that they ought to opt out。另外還請注意:the elderly, the disabled and the dependent是屬于:the + adj 所構成的固定表達方式,相當于elderly people, disabled people and dependent peoole,是復數(shù)概念,因此若作主語句子的謂語動詞應用復數(shù)形式。如:
In our country, the old are taken good care of by the young.
詞組:opt out選擇放棄。如:I think I'll opt out the game.
8. What those people who oppose euthanasia are telling me is that dying people haven't the right. (p9)
譯:那些反對安樂死的人是在告訴我們將死的人們沒有這種權利。
句子分析:乍一看,這是一個簡單句子,但若仔細分析,你會發(fā)現(xiàn),這是一環(huán)套一環(huán)的結構。句子主體結構應是:What those people are telling me is that dying people haven't the right.
主語是一個主語從句,What those people are telling me; 表語是一個表語從句:that dying people haven't the right.另外,who oppose euthanasia是定語,修飾those people; 請注意下列幾個詞的用法:oppose: v 反對; dying people即將死去的人們;have the right to do sth有權力去做某事。
9. But there are situations where death is a friend. (p9)
譯:但是在一種情況下死亡是朋友。
句子分析:該句唯一的考點為:where; 此時它引導定語從句,相當于in which. 關于定語從句的關系詞選擇的問題,主要取決于先行詞在從句中所作成分,請對比:
1). The house ??which he bought last year is very big.
2). The house where he was born is very old now.
3). The house whose windows face south is very big.
10. The film showing Cees Van Wendel's death was both moving and sensitive;… his wife had only her husband's interests at heart. (p10)
譯:顯示CVW之死的電影既感人又敏感,他妻子的心里只有丈夫的利益。
句子分析:這是一句曾出現(xiàn)于國考中的句子??键c:showing Cees Van Wendel's death。
是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做定語,修飾the film; 詞組:have sth at heart:對…十分關心,將…放在心上。 He is selfish, and he has nothing but his own interest at heart.
