想要学好英语四级怎么能不知道长难句的运用方法呢?下面就让小编为大家详解一下吧。
实例练习
长句： eg. Yale professor and Harvard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai's Fudan University in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools.
由徐天教授(耶鲁大学教授，霍华德。休斯医学院研究员)负责的人类疾病遗传学研究中心坐落在上海的复旦大学，但其工作人员却由耶鲁和复旦两所大学共同派人组成。
eg. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia , you'll die on average five years before a woman.
假定你有幸活到生命的自然尽头--在澳大利亚男性大概是活到78岁--你平均也要比女性早去世五年。
eg. When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learnd from our past, from the media , peers, family, friends, etc., we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values.
分析：when引导的是时间状语从句，question(质疑);challenge的宾语从句;这个句子就是一个when引导的'时间状语从句，又分别在主从句当中各嵌入了一个宾语从句。
译文：当我们开始质疑问我们的假设，并且向我们所认为的我们从过去的经历、媒体、同辈、家人及朋友那里学到的东西发出挑战的时候，我们就会开始意识到我们的独断决定是有缺陷的，或者说与我们的基本价值是相违背的。
分析：这个句子有三点需要搞清楚。首先，这个句子是一个倒装结构;句子真正的主语是appreciatio- n，其次，要弄清楚to the health…中的to是与哪个词构成逻辑语义联系。它是与前面的名词importance 构成呼应，即the importance of … to the health…， 即“对…健康的重要意义。”最后，要知道the num -ber of species in a particular ecosystem 的作用是充当同位语，解释biological diversity这个概念。
译文：人们对物种及其栖息地正加速丧失表示担忧，与此同时，人们一直越来越意识到生物多样性--即在一个特定生态系统中物种的总数--对于地球乃至我们人类健康的重要意义。
