这段话并不长,但是如果让你在30秒钟之内说出主旨是什么,恐怕比登天还难吧!其实不然!请看首句中有一个词benefits是个正向词,紧接着第二句话中lower levels of family stress, higher, better health, higher satisfaction等都是正向词。第三句话中higher satisfaction, happier等也都是正向词。这说明这段话作者的基本态度是正向的,那么段落主旨就是首句中的benefits,而第二和第三句话就在具体论述有哪些benefits。至于self-esteem, marital等生词不认识都无所谓了,因为本段落中,除了这些正向词之外,其余的单词的存在都是多余的。30秒足够你顿悟了吧!
其次,关系是更为重要的,因为它的存在更加使得单词变得多余。例如:
In business as a whole, there are a number of factors encouraging the prospect of greater equality in the workforce. Demographic trends suggest that the number of women going into employment is steadily increasing. In addition a far greater number of women are now passing through higher education, making them better qualified to move into management positions.
这段话中,首句a number of factors encouraging是一个正向词,说明在分析好的因素。第二句numberincreasing和第三句higher education, better qualified都是正向词,说明在具体论述第一句话中的好的因素。但是,二三句之间的一个In addition让我们知道了这两句话之间是一个递进关系,那么其前后的方向应该是相同的。所以,当我们看完第二句话之后,发现这个递进关系时,后面的内容根本不需要看了。至于prospect和demographic trends即使都是你的生词,又怎能妨碍你抓住段落的主旨a number of factors呢?
