However, some broods possess a few snails of the opposing hand, and in predominantly sinistral broods, the incidence of dextrality is surprisingly high.可是,一些窝中会有一些相反旋向的蜗牛,而且在主要是左旋的窝种,出现右旋的几率是令人惊奇的高。
难句类型:正话反说
解释:本句貌不惊人,实无难句之伟岸雄姿,然而不知在考试中难倒了多少英雄好汉,原文的表面意思简单至极,一些窝中会有一些相反旋向的蜗牛,在左旋为主的窝当中,出现右旋的几率是令人惊奇地高,关键是作者只是单纯地想说左旋窝的右旋几率吗?什么是高,是绝对值还是相对值?如果是相对值,那么是与什么相比呢?
这么一提示,读者可能会发现作者的言外之意,作者的真实意图,是想将两种窝的情况做一个对比,把句子补全就是:在左旋窝中会出现右旋,右旋窝中有左旋,而左旋窝中的右旋数量远远高于右旋窝中的左旋数量,这篇文章对这句话出了一道题,答案就是右旋窝中的左旋数量少于左旋窝中的右旋数量。
ETS的出题者的语言表述常常像初恋中的腼腆少女,言语间闪烁其辞,留有余味。让我们的考生自己云猜想,恐怕不是出于羞涩;其真实用心和正确含义,关乎读者的考试成败,不可不察。
意群训练:However, some broods possess a few snails of the opposing hand, and in predominantly sinistral broods, the incidence of dextrality is surprisingly high.
