剖析英语六级阅读真题长难句(9)

　　【析句】复合句。主句由but连接具有转折关系的并列句构成。第一句是Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness，简单句。第二句的主句是then you are intelligent。主句前,if you know that...作条件状语从句。而条件状语从句中，know后是that引导的宾语从句。宾语从句中，主句是you can still choose happiness for yourself,or at...choose unhappiness，given your inability to resolven a particular concern中，given是连词，相当于considering。

　　3. Second, heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion accessories.

　　【译文】其次，高跟鞋在面对坏人时是一个很有用的工具。如果你脱下高跟鞋吓唬他们，他们很容易被这双尖锐、危险的时尚装饰物吓走。

　　【析句】这句话不难理解，但有种含蓄的幽默，看起来像描述高跟鞋的优点，实际上是对它的调侃。具体来看，主句是heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies,who can be scared away by threatening theme with a pair of these...accessories作定语从句修饰enemies。定语从句中，by threatening...是介词短语作方式状语。
