大学英语四级100条阅读难句-sentence 48
A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent‘s clothes without permission is not. (06.1 Passage 2)
分析主干:A 12-year-old might need to be shown that... but that...
本句是show sb. that...结构的被动语态,that 从句依然充当宾语。宾语是but 并列连接的两个that 引导的从句。两个从句都用动名词短语(raiding..., borrowing...)作主语。
作者把孩子心急地打开饼干盒的动作称为raiding(袭击)。富有幽默感。
译文:一个12 岁的孩子可能需要人告诉他,不用得到许可就把饼干盒扫光是可以接受的,但是,没有得到许可就借走父母的衣服是不能接受的。
大学英语四级100条阅读难句-sentence 49
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. (05.6 Passage 1)
分析主干:players have been observed to...
不定式to throw...在句中作主语players 的补语;这是observe sb. do sth.结构的被动语态,作宾语补足语的省to 的不定式在被动语态中成了主语补足语,要把to 还原。动名词considering...作介词without 的宾语,介词短语without considering...作throw 的状语。
译文:在比赛的白热化阶段,人们注意到球员从球场的这头狂奔到球场那头,根本就没有考虑到他这样的动作会对阻挡他的其他球员产生什么样的后果。

Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. (09.12 Passage 1)

1.Because 引导原因状语从句。
2.主句中的介词about 带有三个并列的宾语从句,分别由who, what 和what 引导。
3.句中的features 在媒体中指“专题介绍、特写报道”。
译文:因为几乎没有主流刊物对一般的非裔美国妇女进行过深入的专题报道,人们几乎不了解我们的性情、我们的思想和我们通常所面临的问题。
