托福阅读精选45句长难句翻译

精选45句托福阅读长难句翻译及词汇注释 (涵盖部分句子简化题翻译) 1.The same thing happens to this day, though on a smaller scale, wherever a sediment(沉积物)-laden(装满的)river or stream emerges from a mountain valley onto relatively flat land, dropping its load as the current slows: the water usually spreads out fanwise, depositing(沉积)the sediment in the form of a smooth, fan-shaped slope(斜面). 虽然是较为小型的,但类似的事情也在当下发生,无论什么地方的、大量携带沉积物的河水或溪流从山谷中流至较为平坦的地带,都会随着流速的减慢会沉淀下它的携带物。 河流通常以扇形蔓延,使沉积物以一种平滑的扇形斜面的形式沉积。 2.In lowland country almost any spot on the ground may overlie(躺在某上) what was once the bed of a river that has since become buried by soil; if they ar e now below the water’s upper surface (the water table), the gravels (石子,砂砾)and sands of the former riverbed, and its sandbars(沙洲,堤坝), will be saturated(浸湿)with groundwater. 在地势较低的城市里,地面上几乎所有曾是河床的地方都被土壤掩埋。如果曾是河床的地方现在处于河流(的上表面)之下,旧时河床的石砾、沙子和沙洲就会被地表水浸湿。 3.But note that porosity(孔隙度)is not the same as permeability(渗透率), which measures the ease with which water can flow through a material; this depends on the sizes of the individual cavities(腔,洞)and the crevices (裂缝,缺口)linking them. 但是要注意的在测量水可以从一种材料间通过的轻松程度的时候,孔隙度并不等同于渗透率。这个要依材料中每个独立的洞和裂缝的大小而定。 4.If the pores(毛孔,气孔)are large, the water in them will exist as drops too heavy for surface tension to hold, and it will drain(使液体流走)away; but if the pores are small enough, the water in them will exist as thin films(薄膜), too light to overcome the force of surface tension holding them in place; then the water will be firmly held. 如果气孔很大,其内部的水分会以滴的形式存在,水分会由于过重、不能被表面张力持住而流走。反之,如果气孔很小,其内部的水分会以薄膜的形式存在,水分太轻以至于不能克服固定它们的表面张力,因此水分就会被以膜的形式保留。 5.But the myths that have grown up around the rites(隆重的仪式或典礼)may continue as part of the group’s oral(口头的; 口述的)tradition and may even come to be acted out under conditions divorced(分离)from these rites.

托福阅读中最常见的四种长难句分析

托福阅读中最常见的四种长难句分析 教学过程中经常遇到学生对于长难句的分析和理解不到位的情况,长难句的分析和理解会影响学生在托福阅读的理解尤其是在句子简化题。这次题目解析针对于TPO4的一个长难句: Deer Populations of the Puget Sound(TPO4) ①A worsening of the plight of deer was to be expected as settlers encroached on the land,logging,burning,and clearing,eventually replacing a wilderness landscape with roads,cities,towns,and factories. 难句类型:原因状语从句+并列结构+复杂修饰 固定搭配to be expected表示“可以预见”,as在这里可以表示伴随的状态,译为“随着”,也可以看作引导原因状语从句。另外一个需要注意的就是句中两次出现的并列结构:logging,burning,and clearing,eventually replacing和roads,cities,towns,and factories由于意向一致,这两次并列的出现在阅读时都可以以其中一个作为代表提取出来,从而简化较长的句子,也降低了理解和记忆的难度。 译文: 可以预见,鹿群的处境将逐渐恶化,因为人类在他们生活的土地上进行采伐、焚烧,清除障碍,最终将荒野风景变成公路、城市、城镇和工厂。 意群训练: A worsening of the plight of deer was to be expected as settlers encroached on the land,logging,burning,and clearing,eventually replacing a wilderness landscape with roads,cities,towns,and factories. 【类比】复杂结构的句子,再拿一个长难句举个例子。 ②In addition to finding an increase of suitable browse,like huckleberry and vine maple,Arthur Einarsen,longtime game biologist in the Pacific Northwest,found quality of browse in the open areas to be substantially more nutritive. 难句类型:插入成分+固定搭配+复杂修饰 句中比较明显的插入成分,即出现在两个逗号之间的,有“like huckleberry and vine maple”,和“longtime game biologist in the Pacific Northwest”,但从广义上来说,开头的In addition to finding an increase of suitable browse,也可以看做是插入成分。在主干部分,提取出find……to be这一固定搭配使句意的理解得以简化:研究对象是“quality of browse in the open areas”,特点是“substantially more nutritive”。

Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface,the deep—ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans,in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space. (定语后置in some ways…) 由于完全没有光,而且承受着比在地球表面大数百倍的极大压力,深海底部对人类而言是一个充满敌意的环境,在某些方面就像外层空间一样险恶和遥远。 分句1:Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures 分句2:hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface 分句3:the deep—ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans 分句4:in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space 分句2修饰分句1结尾的短语intense pressures, 分句1是分句3的原因状语 分句3是整个长句子的主句 分句4是分句3的后置定语,修饰分句3的a hostile environment to humans 整个句子结构是: 原因状语+主句+后置定语 这是主句前后分别有状语和定语的修饰成分,但是本句其实不是复合句。句子的核心意思是深海对于人类而言是一个充满敌意的环境。
