下面是2014年6月英語六級閱讀真題長難句解析(28),請考生仔細分析句子結構。
1. The fundamental problem of American democracy in the 21st century is the problem of "structural racism", the deep patterns of socio-economic inequality and accumulated disadvantage that are coded by race, and constantly justified in public speeches by both racist stereotypes and white indifference. (2006. 閱讀. 6. Text 4)
【譯文】21世紀美國民主最基本的問題是“結構性種族主義”,即社會經濟不公平的深層模式的和長久以來積累的種族劣勢,并不斷在種族主義分子和冷漠的白人們的公共演講鼓吹下正義化。
【析句】復合句。主句The fundamental problem is the problem of "structural racism",后面部份的中心詞是the deep patterns of socio-economic inequality and accumulated disavantage...作structural racism的同位語,而disavantage后有定語從句that are coded...and justified...修飾。
2. It is, more important, an educational campaign to highlight the contemporary reality of “racial deficits” of all kinds, the unequal conditions that impact blacks regardless of class. (2006. 閱讀. 6. Text 4)
【譯文】更重要的是,這是一項教育活動,旨在強調當代存在的各種“種族赤字”,即不公平的環境影響了各階層的黑人。
【析句】主句是It is an educational campaign to highlight the contemporary reality of..., 其中,it在這里是真正的主語,替代前文中的內容。to highlight...是不定式作目的狀語。the uneaual conditions作racial deficits的同位語,后有有that引導的定語從句修飾。
3. Structural racism’s barriers include “equity inequity.” the absence of black capital formation that is a direct consequence of America’s history. (2006. 閱讀. 6. Text 4)
【譯文】結構性種族主義的障礙包括“權益的不公”,即黑人基礎資金匱乏,這是由美國歷史問題直接導致的結果。
【析句】本期的三個例句中都使用了主句+同位語+定語從句的結構。主句是Structural racism's barriers include...,include后兩個名詞賓語,后一個是the absence of black capital formation,that is a direct consequence of...作定語從句。
adv. 不斷地,經常地
