英语学习中,特别是阅读理解中,“长难句”最麻烦。今天小编和同学们分享通过分析英语句子中的重要特点“三长两短一并列”,江湖人称“括号法”,帮助同学们轻松解决长难句问题!

01

什么是“三长两短一并列”

我们先来看两句话:

①我是李辉。(I am Li Hui.)

②我爱你。(I love you. )

这两句话中只有"主干成分"而没有"修饰成分"。像这样的句子,中文和英文的"语序"(单词排列顺序)基本是一致的,都是"主-系-表"或者"主-谓-宾",理解起来非常容易。

然而,加上修饰成分后,中文与英文句子之间的语序就会发生变化。来看两个例子:

①我是中国的李辉。(I am Li Hui from China.)

②我全心全意地爱你。(I love you with all my heart.)

从例子中可以看出,修饰成分在中英文中出现的位置是不一样的。而当一个句子中有很多个修饰成分时,该句子就会变得很长,不易理解。

例如:

After chatting with Laura on this matter for two hours from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon, I returned to my office.

这个句子中含有大量的"介词短语"这种修饰成分。我们给这个句子中的全部介词短语加上括号,该句就会变成:

(After chatting) (with Laura) (on this matter) (for two hours) (from 2:00) (to 4:00) (in the afternoon), I returned (to my office).

此时大家便可发现,这个句子虽然很长,但是真正的主干其实只有I returned两个单词而已。可见,介词短语正是让英语句子变得又长又难的原因之一!

当然,以上几个句子还比较简单(少量介词短语对句意理解的影响不大),但是,当句子中出现更多类似介词短语的修饰成分时,可想而知,由于中英文语序的不同,英文句子会变得"面目全非",令人难以理解。由此看来,英语中灵活多变的修饰成分正是造成英语句子又长又难的头号罪犯,只要搞定这些修饰部分,就能搞定英语长难句。

幸运的是,尽管这些修饰成分数量很多、位置也不好把握,但是,它们的种类却是非常固定的。小编将这些修饰成分总结为"三长两短"。所谓"三长",就是构成长难句的三种较长修饰成分(即介词短语、从句、非谓语动词短语);所谓"两短",指的是镶嵌于句子之中的、会稍稍提高句子复杂度的两种较短修饰成分(即形容词、副词)。而除了"三长两短"之外,另外一个使句子变得复杂的结构就是"平行并列结构"。"平行并列结构"是由一些并列关系的连词(and、or、as well as等)将句子变长的重要手段。

事实上,再长的句子都是由非常简单的主干成分(主干成分的基本语序和中文语序一致,此外还有若干与中文语序不一致的"特殊句型",如there be句型、It is adj. for sb. to do句型、倒装句型、强调句型等等)再加上这"三长两短一并列"而组成的。

02

含义,结构及标记方法

如果把句子的主干比作树干,那么修饰成分就可以比作繁茂的枝叶。若能把这些枝叶都标记出来,主干自然就清晰了。标记时,只需按照句子顺序,一个挨一个做出标记即可。不过在此之前,我们要先学会每一种成分该从何处标起,又从何处结束。下面小编分别对"三长两短一并列"进行具体介绍,并给出的每一种成分的标记方法。

03

“三长”

1.介词短语

【定义】从介词开始到名词结束、表达一个独立的完整的含义的结构。

【起止标识】标记介词短语时,要从介词开始到介词之后的第一个名词终止。如:at home、in the school、in the beautiful park、during my happy childhood、over the last few years、for three weeks

【例句】(After chatting) (with Laura) (on this matter) (for two hours) (from 2:00 to 4:00) (in the afternoon), I returned (to my office).

2.从句

【定义】从句是复合句中不能独立成句,但具有主语部分和谓语部分,由that、who、whom、when、why、where、how、which、if、although等关系词引导的非主句部分。

【起止标识】标记从句时,一定从关系词开始,到以下四种终止。

①到句尾终止,如:Li Hui is a teacher (who teaches English).

②到句中的逗号终止,如:(When I was young), I listened to the radio.

③到下一个修饰成分终止,如:I will invite Yao Ming (who was a top basketball player) to Beijing. (to Beijing是介词短语,属于另一个修饰成分,故从句的标记在此处终止)

④到下一个谓语动词终止,如Yao Ming (who was a top basketball player) is studying in Shanghai.

3.非谓语动词短语

【定义】非谓语动词是指动词在句子中"不是谓语"时的几种变化形式,主要包括动词不定式、动名词和分词(现在分词和过去分词)三类。非谓语动词不能独立作谓语,而是充当句子的其他成分。由非谓语动词开头的、表示一个独立、完整的含义的结构叫做非谓语动词短语。【起止标识】标记非谓语动词短语时,一定是从动词不定式(to do)、动名词(doing)或分词(现在分词doing或过去分词done)开头,到以下四种情况终止。

①到句尾终止,如:Li Hui is a teacher (teaching English).

②到句中的逗号终止,如:(To improve my English), I often listen to the English radio.

③到下一个修饰成分终止,如:Jack walked into the hall, (waving) to the audience. (to the audience是介词短语,属于另一修饰成分。)

④到下一个谓语动词终止,如:We, (singing a happy song), rode to school.

04

两短

1.形容词

【定义】形容词是指用来修饰名词的单词,往往带有-ous、-y、-ful、-able等后缀。

【常见位置】

①一般置于名词之前,如a beautiful park。

②修饰不定代词(something、anything、nothing、somebody、anybody、nobody)时置于不定代词之后,如"一些有趣的事"应译为something interesting。

2.副词

【定义】副词用来修饰形容词、动词等词,往往带有-ly等后缀。

【常见位置】

英语中,副词的用法比形容词灵活得多。

①可置于整句之前,如:Unfortunately, he failed to make it.

②可置于整句之后,如:The teacher greets his students individually.

③可置于"助动词、系动词、情态动词之后,实义动词之前",如:

The princess looks extremely beautiful today.

He immediately saw the black cat. (实义动词之前)

He has undoubtedly fallen in love with the princess. (助动词之后,实义动词之前)

He can hardly speak anything. (情态动词之后,实义动词之前)

④可置于形容词或副词之前,如:There is an extremely beautiful garden in our campus.

从上面的分析可以看出,虽然英文中形容词和副词的在句中的位置和中文略有不同,但一般情况下,它们较短且易于辨识,对句意理解影响不大,因此在给修饰成分做标记时,形容词和副词可不标记。

05

平行并列结构

1.定义

并行并列结构是指由并列词将两个或两个以上含义相似、结构相同的并列项连接起来构成的结构。

2.标记方法

给平行并列结构做标记的要求是:给并列词加方框,给并列项加下划线。标记时要先找到并列词,然后再找并列项。在标注形如A and B的平行并列结构时,应先找B (即右并列项)后找A (即左并列项)。由于英语中的修饰成分往往置于中心词之后,所以A和B两个并列项

后面可能各自带有很长的尾巴,形成"A … and B …"的形式,导致A离and相对较远,不易辨认,而B通常离and很近,容易识别。找到B之后,利用A和B结构相同、含义相似的原则,很容易将A确定出来。

3.常见并列关系

英语中可以并列的成分有很多,读句子时要注意识别到底是谁跟谁并列。

①名词并列:I like the box placed on the desk and the flowers in your hand.

②形容词并列:Mr. Smith is a kind, patient and knowledgeable English teacher.

③副词并列:You are supposed to answer the following questions quickly and accurately.

④谓语动词并列:With the Internet, people can not only play computer games but also do online

shopping.

⑤介词短语并列:And that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not

perish from the earth.

⑥从句并列: I've finished reading the book (which is written by Mo Yan) and (which you lent

me last month).

⑦非谓语动词并列:Singing and laughing, we headed to the park.

⑧整句并列:The children can go with us or they can stay at home.

高考英语阅读理解中的长难句3

如何克服高考英语阅读理解中的长难句障碍-A 高考英语阅读理解题所选短文均选自英语原版文章,原汁原昧”,考生普遍感觉较难理解。那么,这些阅读材料到底难在哪儿呢除了生词量大、篇幅长、信息量大以外.就是短文中的句子结构较为复杂,搀杂了大量的长、难句。句法掌握不好的考生很难理清头绪,影响其对短文内容的理解。 1 When a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage,it was n’t unusual to hear a tan say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serous trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa. 2 He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill,in Bedfordshire,and thought that he must have tried the hare in a place he knew well,but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773. 一、抓住结构引导词分析其长难句结构和功能 任何一个复杂长句都不外乎由一个或多个并列结构和复合句构成。并列结构一般有连词and,but,or等连接;复合句按其在句中的作用可分为名词性从句、形容词性从句(定语从句)和副词性从句(状语从句)三大类。任何一个复合句都有一个至几个反应逻辑、意义及结构关系的引导词,找出这些引导词就能分析出复合句的完整句子结构,清理出完整意义。平时要注意积累表示各种逻辑关系的连词和短语。表示目的: 《 so that,for the purpose that,in order that等;表示结果:so…that…,such…that…,as a result,therefore,thus等;表示条件:if,on condition that,unless等;表示原因:because,since,as等。 【例l】Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.(NMETl995 C篇) 析:这是一个含有that引导的表语从句的复合句。并且表语从句后接了which 引导的非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句内有not only…but also…连接的并列结构。句意:噪音消除系统应用的另一好处就是没有必要使用消声器.这不仅减轻了轿车的重量。而且使发动机耗油更少,运转更好。 【例2】We even have different words for some tools, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming,while he upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.(NMET2001D篇) 析:whether…or…表示判断选择的搭配结构,which 引出定语从句,指代前文中的事实,that引出同位语从句,while引出状语从旬,表示对比。句意:我们甚至用不同的词语来表示食物,特别是肉类,取决于它们是否还在田问里,还是即将就厨。这表明撒可逊农民干的是农活而上层的诺曼人干的是吃喝。 【例3】A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car,as the owner,you have to pay for any damage done to the car,even if your dog has been killed in the accident.(NMETl997 C篇)

破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法 破解高考英语阅读理解长难句的方法 高考英语阅读理解的文章大都选自英语原版材料,文中含有一些长难句,比较难以理解,对做题会有影响。没关系,看看突破高考英语阅读长难句的5大招,再瞅瞅历年高考长难句精析,10分钟就能教你搞定高考英语中的那些长难句。 英语句子之所以难以理解,有许多原因,其中一个主要原因是句子太长或者句子结构复杂。句子过长或者复杂通常是该句除了主干之外还包含了一些附加部分,如插入语、同位语、分隔现象、各种从句或较长的非谓语动词短语等等。下面我们来谈谈几种英语阅读长难句的处理方法。 方法1:找谓语,定主语 一般情况下,一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者(主语),我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且,如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词,则该句可以是并列句或复合句(并列谓语动词的情况除外)。如:

People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. 【句意】二十一年来,象牙交易一直被明令禁止,人们担心削弱这一禁令会助长非法捕猎,导致大象数量减少。 【分析】that引导宾语从句,从句中谓语动词是encourage 和hurt,根据逻辑意义,可知encourage和hurt 的主语是动名词短语weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory。 方法2:提主干,去枝叶(从句、状语和定语等) 一般情况下,一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息,从句、状语和定语等所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来,就不能完全把握句子的核心意义,从而导致思维混乱,主次不分。如: Economists from the University of Sussex analysed findings

高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧

高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技 巧 高考英语考试的关键在与理解,很多学生在长难句理解方面有所欠缺,下面就是给大家带来的高考英语阅读理解长难句的处理技巧,希望大家喜欢! 一、处理长难句的原则方法 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的单句,可这样处理:跳读修饰成分,迅速找出主谓结构。这样一来,我们便可以将长句化为短句,将难句化为易句。具体步骤是:先跳读修饰成分或附加成分,找出句子的主干并理解其意义;然后再分段理解修饰成分或附加成分。 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的并列句,可这样处理:先找出其中的并列连词,然后再根据并列连词的意思理清句子前后是顺连关系还是反连关系,是因果关系还是转折关系等,最后再根据不同的语境关系正确理解句意。 如果待处理的长难句为一个复杂的主从复合句,可这样处理:先分清主句与从句,然后弄清从句的性质,即弄清它是什么

从句——名词性从句,还是状语从句,或是定语从句。注意,弄清从句性质对于理解复合句的意思至关重要。 另外,有一点要提醒同学们,在处理长难句时,如果既能正确理解句意,又能将其准确地译成中文,那是最好了。但是,对于有些长难句,要在较短时间内(如在参加考试时)将其译成中文比较困难,此时只要能正确理解其意思就行了,如果硬要勉为其难地译成中文,不仅会浪费时间,而且在许多情况也没有必要。 二、经典高考真题实例分析 下面这篇*共有194个单词,却只有9个句子,平均每个句子大约有22个单词,是近几年高考英语阅读理解中一篇比较典型的集中含有长难句的*。*内容如下: Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral(葡萄牙海军上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred. Coming in a close second——and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant island——is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles

高考英语阅读理解长难句分析详解 第一节:找谓语,定主语 一般情况下,一个谓语形式的动词对应其动作的发出者(主语),我们可以根据谓语动词的意义来确定其主语。而且,如果一个句子中出现两个或两个以上的谓语形式的动词,则该句可以是并列句或复合句(并列谓语动词的情况除外)。如Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment --- although no one had proposed to do so and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. 【简析】此句中的谓语形式的动词及其对应的主语有:was opposed --he; ordered--he; (should) not be used ---federal--funds; had proposed --- no one; asked--he (asked前面有and, 说明asked与前面某个谓语动词并列,根据逻辑意义asked应与ordered并列)。这一句的主干为“he ordered... asked ....”, “Declaring that...”作状语。 句意:他宣布自己反对使用这种非同寻常的蓄牧繁殖技术来克隆人类,并下令不准联邦政府基金用于做此类试验——尽管还没有人建议这么做——他还请一个普林斯顿大学校长Harold Shapiro 为首的独立专家组在90天内向白宫汇报关于制定有关克隆人的国家政策的建议。 第二节:提主干,去枝叶(从句等) 一般情况下,一个句子中的主句所表达的信息为主要信息,从句所表达的信息为次要信息。若句子的主干提炼不出来,就不能完全把握句子的核心意义,从而导致思维混乱,主次不分。如: First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Format in the 17th century,the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds,including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem,and

考研英语阅读真题经典长难句必背

考研英语阅读真题经典长难句必背 阅读命题常针对长难句。所以很有必要熟悉长难句的种类以及它们各自的重点。今天先介绍长难句的把握方法,再给出一些典型的句子,建议熟读甚至背诵,以做到考试时碰到类似句子就能抓住重点。 一、长难句一般应对策略 1.从句又多又长:一个主句带多个从句,从句中又含有从句 应对方法:先抓主干,找出复杂句中最核心的主谓宾,再层层展开 2.句子中带有长长的插入成分:用插入语来交代某句话是谁说的或者是说话人的身份,或解释、说明前面的内容 应对方法:理解句子主干时,先不理会插入语,等把主句的意思看完整,然后再看插入成分 3. 分词短语、独立主格结构的干扰 应对方法:主句最重要的特征就是有完整的主谓结构,尤其是独立的谓语部分。一个看似句子的结构,如果没有独立的谓语部分,它就不是句子,而是分词短语、独立主格结构等,可以先跳过不看 4. 三种情况的混合 应对方法:从前向后,抓住独立的谓语部分,从而区分出主句和分词状语,再根据主句与从句之间的连接词,区分出主句和从句,层层扩展理解,插入语在哪个层次,就放在哪个层次理解 二、特殊句型 对于特殊句型,如虚拟语气,可以将其理解成一种反事实假设,也就是作者的观点和态度与之相反。对于分隔结构而言,其主干一般在破折号、逗号和定语从句之外,阅读时可以先跳过修饰成分。对于关联结构,要学会寻找第二部分,因为第二部分有时是句子的重点。如在not…but…之中,重点在but…之后。 三、具体句子 1、复合句 When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded
