考研英语长难句解析:
第17题:
【分析】复合句,句子主干为 It turns out that..., It 作形式主语,真正的主语是 that 引导的主语从句,其主干为...way...may have led to misleadinginterpretations,其中 of conducting the experiments是 way 的后置定语,of what happened 是interpretations 的后置定语。从句中使用了"may+have+done"结构,表示对发生过的事情的推测,意思是"可能已经"或"也许已经"。
【译文】这表明也许是实验所采取的独特方式造成了对所发生事情的误解。
【点拨】peculiar 意为"特有的,独具的"时,其后常跟介词 to。本句中意为"独特的,特殊的"。
第18题:
【分析】复合句。句子主干为 output duly rose...and continued to rise。句首 when 引导时间状语从句。主句中含有表比较意义的短语 compared with...,在句中作状语。for the next couple of days 为时间状语。
【译文】当星期一复工时,产出与上星期六相比会适当地有所增加,并且会在接下来的几天内持续增加。
第19题:
【分析】复合句。句子主干为 a comparison...showedthat...,that 引导的宾语从句。 with data 作comparison 的后置定语,其中包含 when 引导的定语从句修饰 weeks。
【译文】但是,和没有进行试验的几周的数据进行对比发现,周一的产出总是会增加。
第20题:
【分析】复合句。本句主干为 This suggests that...,that...。 两个 that 引导并列的宾语从句。
【译文】这就意味着"昏暗的灯泡(笨脑瓜)更耐用",不特别明亮(不特别聪明)也是一种优势。
【点拨】dim 意为"暗淡的;模糊的",除作形容词外,还可作动词用,意为"使变暗淡;使变模糊"。
