20. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting, Levin asserted that “music is not the cause of society's ills” and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York,who uses rap to communicate with students.
【译文】在上个月的股东会议上,大家就摇滚乐的歌词进行了讨论。莱文宣称“音乐不是社会问题的病因”,他甚至还以自己的儿子为例。他的儿子是纽约州布朗克斯的一名教师,用说唱乐的表达方式与学生进行交流。
【析句】句子的主干是Levin asserted that… and even cited…。During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting是表示时间的状语从句。music is not the cause of society's ills是直接引语,是动词asserted的宾语。his son是动词cited的宾语,后面的a teacher in the Bronx, New York是his son的同位语,who uses rap to communicate with students是修饰his son的定语从句。
【讲词】cite意为“引用,引证,提名表扬”。It's no use citing the Bible to a non-Christian.(对非基督徒引用《圣经》是没用的。)cite的名词形式是citation。He was awarded with a citation for brawery.(他因勇敢而得到一次嘉奖。)
1997 Passage 521. Much of the language used to describe monetary policy,such as “steering the economy to a soft landing” or “a touch on the brakes”,makes it sound like a precise science. Nothing could be further from the truth.
【译文】很多用来描述货币政策的词,如“引导经济软着陆”,“触动经济刹车”,听起来像是一门精确的科学。事实远非如此。
【析句】在第一个句子中,其主干为Much of the language…,makes it sound like…。used to describe monetary policy是用于修饰language的定语,后面的such as “steering the economy to a soft landing” or “a touch on the brakes”对前面的language作进一步说明。第二个句子是一个简单句。
【讲词】soft landing是一个经济术语,意为“软着陆”。Nothing could be further from the truth意思是“没有什么比这更远离事实”,即“事实远非如此”或“情况并非如此”。
22. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
【译文】这不是昙花一现。在过去几年里,英国和美国的通货膨胀率始终低于预测水平。
【析句】这是一个并列句,前后用分号隔开两个子句,是递进关系。在第一句中,no可以用not a代替。在后一个句子中,inflation是主语,lower是谓语系动词的表语,than expected和in Britain and America,以及前面的over the past couple of years都是介词短语作状语。
【讲词】a flash in the pan意为“昙花一现的人或事”。Many people believe that the young singer is a flash in the pan.(许多人认为那位歌手红不了多久。) When I first heard the news,I too dismissed it as a flash in the pan.(我一开始听到这个消息时,也认为这事长不了。)
