重点词汇: note,assess
1、长难句:Sternberg认为传统的测试最能评定分析技能和语言技能,但却无法测定创造力和实际知识,而这些部分对解决问题和人生的成功也起着至关重要的作用。
分析: Sternberg是全句的主语,谓语是notes,宾语是that引导的从句。而在从句中,主语是traditional tests,第一个谓语assess接宾语analytical and verbal skills,第二个谓语fail接不定式to measure creativity and practical knowledge,句末的成分作creativity and practical knowledge的同位语。同位语的完整结构是components also critical to problem solving and life success。
2、note作动词,可以译为注意到或认为。类似的动词有observe,maintain,argue,point out等。 assess意为评估,估定,其名词是assessment。assess的同义词有evaluate,determine,gauge,measure等。
