重点长难句
1. Look up Homo sapiens in the "Red List" of threatened species of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and you will read: Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.
解析: 该句主干为 look up…and you will read.,含条件的意思:“如果你…你会… , 其中分句1为祈使句 。 分句2,即冒号后为直接引语充当的宾语从句 , 介绍“名录”中对“人类”这一条目的解释说明;从句主干省略主语Homo sapiens和is , 其完整形式为 Horno sapiens is listed as..
译文: 查找国际自然保护联盟的《红色名录》中所列的受威胁物种“智人” , 你会发现上面写着:“被列为无危级别 , 因为它分布非常广泛 , 适应性强 , 目前数量在不断地増加且没有什么重大的威肋导致整个种群数量的下降.
2. For example, the Long Now Foundation has as its flagship project a mechanical clock that is designed to still be marking time thousands of years hence.
解析: 本句采用 have X as Y让X成为Y结构说明今日永久基金会的举措;原本的句子为has a mechanical clock as its flagship project. 但是由于主干中的宾语 a mechanical clock被that定语从句修饰过长 , 而宾语补足语 as its flagship project略短 , 故宾补被提至宾语之前 , 成为 have as Y X的结构;that定语从句补充说明 a mechanical clock的功用.
译文: 例如 , “今日永存”基金会的旗舰项目是一个机械时钟 , 该时钟旨在在数干年后仍能记录时间 。
3. The potential evolution of today’s technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it's perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage.
解析: and前面的分句1 是A and B is … and后面的分句2采取 it is best to do sth. 的结构说明作者对“"当前技术可能的进展及其引发的社会影向”的看法:最好是留待小说家和未来学家探寻 , 暗示其难以预测 。 其中 ,leave sth. to sb 。 意为“把某物交由某人(负责)"之意 , 此处sth.由不定式 to explore…充当 , 内容较长 , 故将间接宾语to sb(to science fiction writers and futurologists)提前 , 句子采取被动语态 , it作形式主语 , 不定式 to explore the many充当真正主语 。
