【难句】9. On the face of it, that doesn’t seem especially surprising: we feel strong emotion at important events, which are obviously more memorable than ordinary moments. (Time Jan. 18, 2007)
【结构分析】这是典型的冒号前为主句,冒号后作解释说明的实例。句首部分On the face of it为全句的状语,主句部分为that doesn’t seem especially surprising,这里seem采用了系动词的用法。注意形容词surprising指物的ing使用。冒号后we feel strong emotion at important events是对主句的解释说明,非限制性定语从句which are obviously more memorable than ordinary moments使用了比较结构,关系代词which在从句中作主语。注意which后的be动词使用了复数形式are,联系上文,我们不难判断出它指代important events。
【参考译文】乍看起来,那似乎不会使我们特别吃惊:在重大事件上我们会感到强烈的感情冲击——重大事件显然比平常日子让人记忆深刻。
