難句解析:
①The worker who gets a promotion,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner wholearns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show fortheir efforts.
該句破折號前是三個帶有定語從句修飾的名詞短語The worker ...the student...the foreigner,破折號后是系表結構these are examples其中的代詞these復指前面的三個核心名詞,people后跟有一個who引導的定語從句。
譯文:工人得到升遷、學生成績提高和外國人學會了一門新的語言―—這些都可以表明人們付出努力之后,取得了可測定的成績。
②The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have,theircaution or courage,as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles.
此句主干是The process is not...but rather...,并列連詞not......but rather...意思是“不是...而是..” 。如: The old man is not a coward,but rather a man of high spirit,本句中 but rather連接的表語成分是the attitudes and feelings people hav和 their caution or courage as引導的是時間狀語從句。
譯文:成長過程不是道路本身,而是當遭遇新的情況或未預料到的坎坷時所持的態度和情感,是慎重行事還是勇往直前。
