2007年英语阅读基本功之难句过关大全

　　译文即使我们适应了像打电话一样在互相看不见的情况下谈话,这种看不见或接触不到对方的谈话也会使人感到很不自在。

　　7. Actually we know of no type of astronomical body in which the conditions can be favorable to life except planets like our own revolving round a sun.

　　要点这是复合句。in which引导定语从句,修饰astronomical body.介词except引起的短语作状语。在介词短语like our own后面省略了planet.revolving为现在分词短语作定语,修饰our own planet.翻译时根据汉语习惯,将状语提前译出。

　　译文事实上,除了像地球这样围绕太阳旋转的行星以外,我们不知道是否在其他类型的天体上也有适合生命存在的条件。

　　8. The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers.

　　要点这是主从复合句。其主句的谓语动词是had less to do with than,意为主要与有关,而不是与有关,因为句子结构比较清晰,省略了句子的并列部分,如在had less to do with the mechanization of housework and （with） an increase in leisure time省略了with；在than it did with their own economic necessity and （ it did ） with high marriage rates省略了it did.句中that引导的定语从句修饰high marriage rates.翻译时采用融合法,把重要的部分放在句首。
