5. 并列句连用使得句子变长(主谓宾都可以并列)
并列句是理解中的主要句式。出题人会把几个成分相同的并列句子,通过剔除多余成分从而使其合并为一个很长的句子。
解牛方法:破解这样句子的关键是要弄清楚两个句子的逻辑关系,补全成分后重新还原为几个单独的句子即可。例如:
To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government s policy regarding landmines.
翻译:对政府来说,更糟糕的是,不久得知的消息是,王妃的安哥拉之行得到过外事办的批准,并且她事实上非常了解安哥拉的形势和英国政府关于地雷的政策。
相当于拆分成三个句子:
To make matters worse for the government
It soon emerged that the Princess s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office.
It soon emerged that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government s policy regarding landmines.
