2018考研英語復(fù)習(xí)謂語動(dòng)詞的重要性(一)

字號(hào):

The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.
    首先我們來劃分一下這個(gè)句子:
    (1)The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought;
    (2)the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought;
    (3)which (the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought)took root in Europe long;
    (4)before people realized(how diverse languages could be) ;
    (5)how diverse languages could be;
    在五個(gè)小句中,各有一個(gè)謂語動(dòng)詞以保證句子的完整度,分別為:assumed,had,took root in,realized及 could be,如果考生在選取謂語動(dòng)詞時(shí)有困難的話,就會(huì)想一下在之前的文章中我們所提到的就如何從復(fù)雜的英語句子中去選取謂語動(dòng)詞;接下來,考生來看一下,既然劃分出五個(gè)句子,也就意味著在這個(gè)長(zhǎng)難句中嵌套了4個(gè)從句或小句:
    (1)主句的謂語動(dòng)詞為assume,其意思是猜測(cè),在assume后接著一個(gè)由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句;
    (2)在assume后的賓語從句中,其謂語從此為had,意思為有;
    have connection with:與……有關(guān)系
    (3)逗號(hào)隔開的非限制性定語從句中的謂語動(dòng)詞為took root in 動(dòng)詞搭配;
    (4)before作為介詞,經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在與時(shí)間相關(guān)的從句中;(考慮到定語從句中when的使用頻率也較高,故在之后的文章中去區(qū)分when在時(shí)間狀語從句和定語從句間的區(qū)分);
    (5)how一詞置于realized之后,作為賓語從句,且這個(gè)句子的謂語動(dòng)詞為could be;
    句式切分成這樣,考生是不是對(duì)句子及意群間的關(guān)系有所了解了!那么接下來,考生可以參看整個(gè)句子的句式劃分情況:
    主句 The Greeks // assumed // 賓語從句that 從句的主句the structure of / language // had some connection with // the process of / thought, // 定語從句which // took root in Europe // 時(shí)間狀語從句long before // people // realized // 賓語從句how diverse // languages // could be.
    那么接下來,考生就可以嘗試著將這個(gè)句子的漢語意思翻譯出來(希臘人認(rèn)為語言結(jié)構(gòu)與思維的過程之間存在著某種聯(lián)系。這一觀點(diǎn),早在人們意識(shí)到語言會(huì)有多么千差萬別之前在歐洲就已經(jīng)根深蒂固了),希望各位考生參考漢語意思,并對(duì)自己當(dāng)前的復(fù)習(xí)情況有所了解,更好地投入到之后的復(fù)習(xí)中。
