? ? 托福閱讀長(zhǎng)難句分析
?我們來(lái)看一個(gè)例子。
According to conventional theory, yawning takes place when people arebored or sleepy and serves the function of increasing alertness by reversing, throughdeeper breathing, the drop in blood oxygen levels that are caused by the shallow breathingthat accompanies lack of sleep or boredom.
第一步:分析結(jié)構(gòu)
并列句:Yawning takes place…and serves ….
并列結(jié)構(gòu)前后對(duì)稱,如名詞與名詞詞組并列,動(dòng)詞與動(dòng)詞并列,從句與從句并列。
Serves是動(dòng)詞單數(shù),則并列動(dòng)詞為takes place而非are。

第二步,拆分主干
“Yawning” 為句子主語(yǔ)
takes place + serves ”為謂語(yǔ)
“the function of increasing alertness” 為serves后的賓語(yǔ)。
第三步:還原修飾
“by recersing the drop in blood oxygen levels”修飾”increasing alertness”
“through deeper breathing”修飾”reversing”
“That are caused by the shallow breathing” 修飾“the drop in blood oxygen levels “
“that accompanies lack of sleep or breedom”修飾“shallow breathing”
句子翻譯為:
根據(jù)傳統(tǒng)理論,當(dāng)人們無(wú)聊或者厭倦時(shí)就會(huì)打哈欠,打哈欠可以通過逆轉(zhuǎn)血液中氧含量的下降來(lái)達(dá)到提高警覺性的效果。警覺性可以通過深呼吸逆轉(zhuǎn)血氧含量的下降實(shí)現(xiàn),而血氧含量的下降是通過伴隨睡眠缺乏的淺呼吸導(dǎo)致。
讀句子是先讀短,再讀懂,最后讀長(zhǎng)。只要按照這三步操作,再長(zhǎng)的句子也能朗朗上口,一遍讀懂。希望在以后閱讀中,大家把TPO中長(zhǎng)難句及時(shí)整理下來(lái),反復(fù)閱讀,多加復(fù)習(xí)。
搞定了長(zhǎng)難句才能搞定閱讀,搞定了閱讀,聽力也會(huì)簡(jiǎn)單,就有更多時(shí)間搞口語(yǔ)和寫作,托福100+指日可待,只要你想,沒什么不可以?。?!
