来,继续伤害啊~
选段来自
The Struggle For An Education,by Booker T. Washington
选段一:
I worked long enough to earn money for my breakfast,and it seems to me, as I remember it now, to have been about the best breakfast that I have eaten.
结构简析:
两个并列句,还有一个as引导的状语从句,作为插入成分卡到第二个并列句句中,第二个并列句又嵌套了一个that定语从句
这个句子就让大家热热身。。。
选段二:来自经典Adam Smith的The Wealth Of Nations
选段取自书中Chapter XI Part III,about the digression on silver
In a fertile soil and happy climate, the great abundance and cheapness of land, a circumstance common to all new colonies,is, it seems, so great an advantage as to compensate many defects in civil government.
结构简析:(看完才翻译,不然会炸裂的)
这句话里面有一个插入语,a circumstance common to all new colonies,她是主语the great ……of land的同位语,但是她不影响主语的“数”,所以后面的系语依旧用的is.
参考译文(Cream稍修改):
在一个肥沃土地和宜人气候的地方,和其他所有新殖民地的情况一样,土地的肥沃和廉价所带来的优势看起来足以弥补文官政府带来的各种不足。
