长难句:Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performerswhether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programmingare nearly always made, not born.
重点词汇:startling,assertion,talent,overrate,expert,made,born
1、长难句:他们的工作得出了一个惊人的观点:我们通常称之为天才的特性被高估了。换句话说,在记忆、外科、芭蕾或计算机程序方面的专业人士,他们几乎都是后天努力的结果,并非天生如此。
分析: 第一句是简单句,冒号后的成分是宾语assertion的同位语,而同位语中又包含一个定语从句修饰the trait。在第二句中,or和put another way是插入语,句子的主干是expert are made, not born。whether in programming作定语。
2、startling意为惊人的,令人吃惊的,其同义词有surprising、astonishing、stunning、astounding等。 assertion表示主张;断言;声明。 talent意为天才;才干;才能,注意中文的人才市场,英语应用job market来表示。 overrate高估,其反义词是underrate(低估)。 expert句中的意思是专家的,专业的,expert performers表示专业人士。 made句中意为通过后天努力而成就的(人)。 born指天生的,如:She is a born star.
