胡敏长难句69句二.php
译文：象勒罗伊。拉迪里（Le Roy Ladurie）一类的史学家利用这些文献史料从中挖掘出某些个案史（case history）来，阐明了不同社会群体的态度（这些态度包括，但并非局限于，对犯罪和法律的态度），并揭示出当局是如何执行审判的。
解释：逗号以后的内容都是修饰逗号以前的case history的。在which引导的非限定性定语从句中有一个插入语(these attitudees includee, but are not confined to, attitudees toward crime and the law)，我们可以看到这个插入语中又套了一个插入语but not confined to。
难句类型：复杂修饰
解释：典型的句子套句子。主句是F.J.T. wrote that，宾语从句中主干是the agrarian discontent had been precipitated by the closing of the internal frontier，在从句的主语the agrarian discontent后面又来了一个定语从句。
意群训练：It can be inferred from the passage that a historian who wished to compare crime rates per thousand in a European city in one decade of the fifteenth century with crime rates in another decade of that century would probably be most aided by better information about which of the following?

As he became acquainted with American politics , however , he realized you have to work hard to keep abreast of changing value s to truly understand how absurdly controversial this issue has become. He found out from his American friends that opinions are in abundance of how to teach people to be accountable for their actions, how to make people abide by Family Planning laws, and even how to teach people just to abstain from sex. The significance of this issue became abruptly clear when Xiaomin's best friend, Jeff, got his girlfriend pregnant.Jeff was an acclaimed graduate student who was living an abnormal life from other Americans just by attending a Chinese university to get his Ph.D.(Ph.D. is an abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, the highest degree available in a university). Jeff was also an ace soccer player and acoustic guitar player. There was also alway an abundance of women around him. This is how he met Sarah.When Sarah became pregnant with Jeff, his friends suddenly treated him as if he was an accessory to murder. Jeff also felt as if he needed to be acquitted of some crime. But he decided in the end that he and his accomplice, Sarah, would keep the baby. According to Jeff and Sarah, the life of their child was more important than their career. Xiaomin was amazed. Keeping the child would abolish any chance of a successful career forJeff. And in Xiaomin's eyes, one could activate the process for an abortion with a simple visit to the doctor even though there might be lines, three people abreast.But Jeff and Sarah were firm in their decision and Xiaomin had to abide his friends' decision. Life abounded in surprises. Now Jeff and Sarah were leaving school and returning to the United States. They would do everying they could to accommodate themselves to their new situation.选择生孩子小民从来没想过流产是个大事。
胡敏读故事记单词文本大学英语四级词汇初中高中新gre核心
胡敏读故事记单词文本大学英语四级词汇初中高中新gre核心（A字头10篇）abandon ~ accentAt times I like to abandon my ability to speak and write in an academic way, which my friends call an abuse of language. When I am about to go aboard a plane to go abroad, I often still think about this. At these times I am so absent-minded that I almost miss the call for "all aboard". In another every word. Instead, I aim for clear and simple communication to help others absorb what I am saying. This is not easy since I like to abuse language and always try to use the full range of language to the best of my ability. However, I think that one can abandon oneself to new experiences when overseas without treating one's training with abandon. It has also been suggested that I get rid of my strong accent, and my absence from my country might accelerate this change. In the meantime, I'll think of ways to use Band 4 words, in concrete ways, rather than in the abstract. Readers can then abstract what suits them best, from the book, towards developing absolute faith in their ability to master English.有时候我希望放弃用学术语言说话和写作的能力，我的朋友说这是对语言的滥用。
胡敏故事背单词
胡敏故事背单词A cruel man abandoned his wife and son. Above all, everyone must abide by the law . So he was arrested. But the trial came to an abrupt end because of the man's absence. It was said he was mentally abnormal and was set free according to one law! What an absurd judgment! That's absolute nonsense! The angry people thought this bad law ought to be abolished to keep the judge from abusing his power. Fortunately, the boy's mother was able to afford enough money for the boy to go abroad to study. The moment the son was about to go aboard the ship, they kissed good-bye with tears. The boy went to an Academy of Technology successfully. No one could doubt his ability to learn abstract knowledge. He was absorbed in knowledge so much, just like dry sand absorbed water. His teacher really appreciated his complete absorption in his studies. So he supplied the boy abundant books for study, which accelerated the boy working harder.一个冷酷的男人抛弃了他的妻子和儿子。
【小站教育】胡敏的读故事记雅思单词
读故事背雅思单词胡敏读故事背雅思单词1(abandon-accomplish)An honorable entryThe acclaimed academic, Dr. Sir Walter T.J. Fitzbody, accompanied the equally accessible expert of aboriginal history, Dr. Mugambe H. C. Carriky, slowly to the platform to accept his National Science Foundation Award. Both were noted for their absenteeism, rarely seen in public and still marveled at for their abnormal usage of double abbreviations in theirnames. That it was Dr. Carriky, the former pupil of Dr. Fitzbody who was receiving this life-time award before his mentor was only minor. Dr. Fitzbody knew that academia was not always fair and, having always been rather accommodating for his favorite student anyhow, was taking the event as an honor to his work as well.When Dr. Carriky accidentally tripped over the toe of a person with his leg extended too far into the aisle, the gasps of the crowd conveniently covered the abusive words that cameout of Dr. Carriky's mouth. The man did not take the abuse kindly, however, and abandoning all respect, began to rise to respond to the guest of honor. Dr. Fitzbody, sensing trouble, quickly accelerated towards the stage. It did not matter that an accessory of his robe was lost to the floor as they escaped. The rest of the audience, sensing a need for accommodation, politely gave clear access so that no further mishaps would occur.Having accomplished their entry, Dr. Fitzbody began his introduction of Dr. Carriky. He gently smiled and said a joke that related the fall to a historical abstraction. The crowd laughed in relief and breathed easily as they knew that honor and dignity had been restored.体面的入场广受赞誉的学者沃尔特.T.J.费茨博迪博士陪同同样平易近人的土著历史研究专家穆甘贝．H.C.克里奇博士缓缓走向领奖台领取国家科学基金奖。
新航道胡敏团队：第一时间解答08考研英语大纲
今年，我们在全国各地的新航道进行考研英语专题讲座时，我们对广大学员进行了对08年考研大纲的预测，当时我们预测大纲不会有任何变化。
所以我们拿到英语考试大纲的时候，心里是很平静的，因为大纲实质上没有任何变化，完全是在我们的预料之中的。
考研大纲从05年以来连续四年都没有本质性的修改。
因为作为一种高水准的语言测试，按照国际标准来说一般应该在一定的时间内持稳定的状况，也就是说大纲一般来说会稳定几年，即便是有变化也会只是做一些小小的调整，纵观国际上比较流行的几种英语考试，比方说托福考试、雅思考试，他们几乎是每五年才进行一次比较大的调整，咱们国家的英语四级考试、六级考试、研究生英语入学考试严格意义上来说已经形成了我们国家的英语测试的民族品牌，在国际上享有很高的声誉。
而且同学们都是参加过四六级考试的同学，大家应该清楚的明白一点的就是，四级、六级和考研英语构成一个庞大的系统工程，相互之间的区别性特征也是非常明显的。
所以这一次的大纲没有太多的变化，标志着我们国家英语水平测试已经走向了成熟。
非常高兴的是，我们同学可以基本上按照原有的思路进行更加系统的更具深度的复习。
实际上往年有一些考生在考场上败下阵来其根本的原因就是没有真正的弄明白考研英语到底对我们是一种什么样的挑战，也就是说考的内容到底是什么。
考研英语从2005年开始考试题型比较稳定以后，连续05年、06年、07，包括08年的大纲没有变化，显示出来一点，考研英语主要是进行了一个实质性的转变。
这个实质性的转变就是由2004年以前比较多的内容是放在纯粹的语言能力的考核方面转向对考生的英语交际能力的考核。
具体来说，考研英语实际上考我们考生交际能力的三个方面，弄清楚英语交际能力的三个方面对我们备考英语这门课程来说是至关重要的，因为很多时候我们没有把大道理想明白，所以我们在黑暗中前行的时候就会走很多弯路，我们思想上端正了态度以后在后面的付出辛勤的准备的时候就会显得能够比较轻松自如。

胡敏读故事记单词（托福词汇）1. Having faith 信任(Abandon-abrupt)You can call me A.J., which is an abbreviation of my full name, Alexander Justice.

One day, my daughter was abducted . Although I abided by the kidnapper ’s monetary demands, they refused to release her. I had no choice but to put my faith in the legal authorities. The Police responded immediately and searched the area. Despite their lack of success, they refused to abandon their search or to call an abort to their mission. They knew any abortive action would surely result in my daughter ’s death.The investigation eventually led the police to conduct an abrupt search at the home of a local official who was abashed when he learned of the search. My daughter was found in his basement. She had abrasions to her wrists where the abrasive rope had scraped her. The official was arrested along with his bodyguard who abetted him in the kidnapping.The official was forced to abdicate his position and was sent to prison for life. The judge told him that he was lucky that capital punishment had been abolished and that it was only due to this abolition that he would not be executed. The swift apprehension and strict punishment of these criminals helped to abate my lack of faith in the legal system. These days, I truly believe in “justice”, and it’s not just because of my name!abandon vt. 抛弃 ;放弃abolish vt. 废除 ,取消n. 放纵 ,沉溺于abolition n. 废除 , 革除abash vt. 使羞愧aboriginaladj.土著的 ,原来的 ,土著居民的abatev.（数量 ,程度等）减少 ,减轻 ,缓解abort n.中止计划 (任务 )abbreviate vt. 1, 缩短 2,缩写abortiveadj.失败的 ,无结果的abbreviationn.缩写 ,缩写词abound vi. 充满 ;富于abdicate v.1,让位 ,辞职 2,放弃（权利或责任）abrasion n.表面磨损abduct vt.绑架 ,拐走abrasive adj.研磨的abet vt.帮助 ; 教唆 ,唆使 ;煽动 ,怂恿abridgev.缩短 ,删节abide vi. 遵守 vt.忍受abrupt adj.突然的，意外的abiding adj. 持久的2. Love of numbers 热爱数字absenteeism-accessAs an academician , I think Mathematics is an intriguing and absorbing science. However, many of my students consider it an abstract science and they hate it because the equations are too difficult to absorb and to remember. I think my students would laugh if they knew how I became so interested in Math.When I was a freshman in college, I also believed Math was a mere abstraction . Studying it was like falling into a spinning abyss of numbers and symbols. Just thinking about it seemed like an abuse of my brain. However, my entire tuition was financed by an academic scholarship, so I had to maintain high marks in all of my classes, including Math.My most abstruse class was Advanced Calculus Mathematics. It was taught in a large lecture hall which abutted the North accessgate of the University. Unlike the many absentees in my class who often abstained from attending the boring lectures, I dared not absolve myself from this responsibility. Any degree of absenteeism would probably cause me to fail Math and to lose my scholarship. I was so afraid of failing that I even pledged abstinence from my abundant supply of alcohol.It wasn’tuntil the fourth week of Math class that I met the wonderful person who would accelerate my interest and understanding of this absurd subject. She was a foreign exchange student from Beijing. She was also a brilliant mathematician. She would come to class everyday in a colorful silk scarf that accentuated her lovely smile.It was so nice to meet someone from my home country. She inspired me to love Math. Although we now live and teach in different countries, I still see her smiling face between every number I write!absenteeism n. 旷课，旷工absorb vt.1 、吸收（液体 ,知识等） 2、理解 ,掌握absentee n.缺席者absorbing adj.吸引人的，引人入胜的absolve v.1,(宗教上的 )宽恕 2,赦免 (罪行 ,过失等 ),解除 (责任等 )abstain v.自制 ,自动放弃 ,戒绝 ,有意回避abstinence n. 自制 ,制（禁欲 ,戒酒）abut vi. 接 ,毗abstract n.1、抽象的 2、解的 ,深奥的abyss n.深渊 ,深坑abstraction n.抽象（概念）academic adj.学的 ;学院的 ;理的abstruse adj.懂的 ,深奥的academician n.学会会 ;院士 ;学者absurd adj.荒的 ,可笑的accelerate v.1、加快 ,加速 2、促 ,促使⋯早日生abundantadj.丰富的 ,充裕的 ;大量的accentuate v.突出 ,abusen.（利等的）用；（物品的）不精心使用access n.1、接触 , 接近（的机会） 2、入口 ,通道3. A writer ’s method 一位作家的法子accessible-accumulateFor the last ten years, I have written novels for a living. Through my work, I have been able to accumulate a fair amount of wealth. I have been lucky because many of my books have received acclaim from literary critics.My latest accomplishment is a mystery novel. It is a fictional account of how a clever and accomplished thief, posing as an accountant ,gains accessto the computer system of a large bank. Having extensive knowledge of accounting , he and a woman accomplice use the bank’s computer system to accomplish the biggest theft in history.To be a good writer, I think you must find a quiet environment where you can think, preferably one with limited accessibility . Some of my most acclaimed work was written at an isolated island hotel off the coast of China. I highly recommend this place.The island is accessible only by boat and the hotel is accredited by the Asian Resort Association as a five-star accommodation . Upon arrival, the manager will accompany you to your room and show you how everything works. The staff is trained to accommodate your every need. Any errors in service are purely accidental . The security is excellent and there’s little chance of being accosted by strangers. Each room has a balcony with a view of the ocean.On the balcony you will find a large leather chair and a sturdy writing desk.The bathroom is very modern and contains many unique accessories. The most useful bathtub accessory is their mini-desk, which allows youto write while soaking in a tub of hot water.To continue being a good writer, you must find a way to relax your mind after a long day of writing.

The accused被告accusation-adamantBob is an excellent trial lawyer with a superior legal acumen . Unlike many other lawyers that need to use acronyms to remember certain legal principles, Bob simply uses his photographic memory. What makes Bob even more special is his acute sense for reading people ’s emotions, especially those of jurors.Due to his reputation, he is able to acquire the most interesting cases. His jealous competitors often accuse him of being too acquisitive and of taking away their business. But I respect Bob for his many achievements . I remember the first trial he ever did.Bob was hired by an acquaintance named Jim to defend him against a criminal charge. Jim was accused of intentionally throwing acid on another man’s arm in a laboratory where they were both activating chemicals. Jim was adamant that the accusation was false. He claimed it was an accident that occurred during an argument. Being a contract lawyer, Bob was not accustomed to handling trials in frontof a jury. However, he agreed to the acquisition of Jim ’s case because he strongly believed in Jim’s innocence. The thought of an innocent man being convicted of a crime he didn ’tcommit actuated Bob’s hidden trial skills.At the trial, Bob proved that the other man caused his own injury by pushing Jim while Jim was working with dangerous chemicals. Bobalso proved that the man’s claim of an acute injury was false. The actual injury was minor. Bob asked the jury to acquit Jim of all criminal charges. Amazingly, Bob achieved an acquittal for Jim.I ’llnever forget what Bob did for Jim, because I was there. I am Jim. In fact, I still remember the adage Bob used to explain why he took my case for free. He said, “In doing, we learn. ”accusation n. 谴责，控告acquit v. 宣告无罪accuse vt. 指责，归咎acquittal n. 宣判无罪accustomed adj. 习惯了的acronym n. 用大写字母表示的缩写词achieve vt. 完成，实现；赢得activate vt. 刺激，使激活achievement n. 成就，功绩actual adj. 实际的，现行的acid n. 酸 adj. 尖酸的，刻薄的actuate vt. 开动，促使acquaintance n. 熟人acumen n. 敏锐，聪明，才智acquire vt. 获得，学到acute adj. 灵敏的，敏锐的；（事情）剧烈的，严重的acquisition n. 获得；收购；接受adage n. 格言，谚语acquisitive adj. 想获得的，贪得无厌的adamant adj. 固执的，坚定不移的5. Adaptation is the key 适应是关键adapt-adobeI must admit , I didn’tlike Tom in the beginning. He lived in the house that was adjacent to mine, and I knew he was addicted to painkillers. He had injured his back while building adobe houses in the countryside for the local government administration . The painkillers numbed his back pain and allowed him to continue performing his heavy construction work. However, it wasn ’tlong before he got caught for failing to adhere to the drug laws.I still recall what the judge told him shortly before he adjourned the court. “You’ll either have to adapt to a life without drugs or adjust to living in the prison that adjoins this courthouse.”I was admittedly upset when the judge asked me to help administer Tom ’s probation. I felt that the judge was making me an unwillingand unnecessaryadjunct to the court system. But I had no choice. I thought to myself,“Adaptation is the key.”So I changed my attitude towards Tom and I soon learned that Tom was just as adaptable .Tom heeded the judge’s warning. He quit his construction job and stopped using painkillers. He put all of his time and effort into inventing a new adhesive for constructing brick houses. His dedication was admirable . He became quite adept at chemistry and before long, he discovered a key additive that made his glue superior to all other adhesives.Now, I greatly admire Tom and he has become a good friend. I guess adaptation really is the key!adapt v.

Christmas 圣诞节adopt-affirmI ’m a big advocate of Christmas celebrations. It ’s still my favorite time of year. Although China hasn’tadopted this special holiday, there’s still hope. With the advent of China ’s membership in the WTO, Chinese people will be exposed to a number of Western holidays. My guess is that they will adore Christmas.My strong affinity for Christmas comes from my childhood days. In my hometown, we would prepare for Christmas by buying a big Christmas tree. If we were feeling bit more adventurous , we would hike up the mountain and find one on our own.Adorning the tree is the next step. We’d use all kinds of adornment to decorate the tree, from pinecones and candy coated angels to colorful Christmas balls and fake icicles. My dad was especially adroit at making small hand-painted ornaments. Since my dad ’s company was affiliated with a light bulb company, he was also able to bring home the most beautiful and colorful Christmas lights.After decorating the tree, we would make small Gingerbread houses out of bread and candy. These houses were aesthetic but not edible. It was always advisable to keep these appetizing houses out of reach of young children.There’s no adversity on Christmas day. Even the soldiers are adverse to fighting. Everyone is affable . Lovers are especially affectionate and they often show their affection by giving each other romantic gifts. Children usually receive toys as gifts. But my most memorablegift was not a toy. It was an aquarium, complete with an air pump to aerate the water. Raising all those fish was such an adventure for me.What is my favorite holiday? All of these wonderful thoughts lead me to affirm that Christmas is without doubt the best time of year. adopt vt. 采用，采纳；收养advisable adj. 可取的，明智的adore v. 崇拜，崇敬；极喜爱advocate n. 提倡者，主张者； vt. 拥护，主张adorn vt. 装aerate v. 充气，让空气进入，（水、饮料等）加气adornment n. 装饰，装饰品aesthetic adj. 审美的，美学的adroit adj. 熟练的，灵巧的affable adj. 易接近的，和蔼可亲的；亲切友善的，慈祥的advent n.

Another day, another dollar 多上一天班，就多挣一美元afflict-alienateLife as a newspaper reporter can be aggravating . Every morning at 5:00 a.m., there ’s a staff meeting where the managing editor goes through his agenda for the day. He ’s not at all agreeable in the morning. In fact, he ’s akin to a grouchy bear. Oh dose he love to agitate us! I drink coffee to calm my nerves but sometimes it just aggravates my stomach.“Jim, you ’ll be covering the recent acts of aggression in the middle east. We can’tafford to ignore this important development. You need to be airborne and on your way to the Middle East within the hour. ”“Jane, come in here, you’re late. Don’t leave the door ajar , this is a private meeting. I need you to get a copy of that new alien alert from the Immigration Department. The aggregate number of aliens in this country is growing, but it seems to me that such an alert will only serve to alienate our own minority groups. ”“Sam, you’re the most agile of us all. Use your agility to catch up with the world-class runners who are in town for the marathon.Come on Sam, don’tagonize over your assignment, just do it. ”“Mary, the children in Central Africa are afflicted with an unknown disease. It ’s not just an ailment . It s’something far more serious. Hey, stop looking so aghast, you don ’tneed to go there. Just find out the source of the affliction and write a report on it by this afternoon. By the way, I think you should quit drinking coffee, it does nothing to calm your nerves! ”On well, I guess I better get going. Can I afford to quit this wonderful job?

Funny things happen 趣事环生alignment-alumnusYesterday, I decided to get my pants altered . I had $200 in my wallet, which was more than enough for the alteration . Foolishly however,I got lost taking an alternate route to the tailor shop. Fortunately, I had aspirin to alleviate my headache.Walking further, I noticed a red balloon aloft , rising to a higher altitude . It distracted me, causing me to bump into two young brothers. They looked alike but seemed opposite in personality. One was clearly aloof but the other appeared to be an altruistic individual. He could sense I was lost and happily gave me directions. Such altruism is so rare these days. What an ally he can be to a lost person! The contrast in their personalities reminded me of the biblical allegory of Cain and Abel. But it would be too hasty to allege such a contrastgiven that I didn ’treally know them.I continued on my way but was allured into a bike shop by a window photo of a lovely girl on a mountain bike. Below the photo, it said, “ride rough, ride real, ”a clever alliteration . I felt there was no alternative but to enter the shop.The owner was an alumnus from my university. He alluded that the best bike for me would be the $200 bike that was displayed in the window photo. It was made out of a special lightweight alloy . He also offered to adjust my tire alignment for free.Well, I didn ’tmake it to the tailor that day. But I did ride home on a new bike. As for my pants?

I ’d like to make a few remarks. Let me start by saying, I think the merger is a good idea. If we amalgamate our two small businesses, we can create a more powerful one. With our increased size and financial power, we can amass new investors and raise ample funds to renovate the old hotel. We can attract more guests by adding amenities , like a swimming pool, and planting more greenery to create a peaceful ambience . To make it even more special, we can build a special walkway that will allow people to amble amid the trees. The results of our ambitious project will amaze the community.After we finish the renovations, we can take photos and post them on our Internet site. My brother is an amateur photographer and a very amenable individual.I ’m sure he won’tcharge us for taking photos, as long as we keep the amount of photos down to a reasonable number.Then, before opening the new hotel, we ’ll need to hire and train a new staff of amicable people. We don’t want anyone who is ambivalent towards the concept of “personal service.”Such ambivalence is bad for business. We want people who are hardworking and amiable . We’ll also need a manager who has enough ambition to keep the hotel running efficiently.Okay. For those of you suffering from temporary amnesia , recall that we must vote to amend the company’s by-laws before we can initiate the merger of our two companies. So let ’s vote. Everyone in favor of the amendment , say “aye! ”amalgamate v. 混合，合并amend vt. 修正，改正amass vt. 收集，积聚amendment n. 修正，改正amateur adj. 业余的 n. 业余爱好者amenity n. amenities (常做复数）生活福利设施，文娱康amaze vt. 使吃惊，使惊叹乐场所，方便设施ambience n. 周围环境，气氛amenity （不可数名词），愉快，惬意ambition n. 雄心，抱负amiable adj. 亲切的，和蔼可亲的ambitious adj. 有雄心的，渴望成功的amicable adj. 友善的，和平的，和睦的ambivalence n. 矛盾心理amid prep. 在。

1693胡敏长难句69句★1. That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted. （难度系数5，下同）译文：那种性别比例能在最大程度上增加一个个体所能拥有的后代数量，并因此能在最大程度上增加所传递到后代身上去的基因复制品的数量。
难句类型：倒装、省略<a > 本句的正常语序应当是：That sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendnts an individuall will have and hence the number of gene copies transmited will be favored.但是因为主语That sex ratio之后的以which引导的修饰它的定语从句，如果按照以上语序，则有头重脚轻之感。
所以原文将此长长的从句倒装成谓语will be favored之后。
<b > 在which引导的从句中，有两处省略：第一处在maximize的第一个宾语the number of descendants that an individuall will have中，an individuall will have是修饰descendants的定语从句，但是，因为在从句中作have的宾语，所以引导词that可以省略。
第二处省略是在第二个the number of 之前，省略了与前面一样的成分that sex ratio which maximizes. And hence在此表示后面的成分作为前面“最大化一个个体的后代的数目的”结果。
意群训练：That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted.2. （This is ）A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower .(5++)（这是一种）译文：照亮现实的欲望，此欲望从来就不会唐突的取代后面的那种欲望，后者是我们可以将其部分的理解为一个兼任小说加和科学家的人想要去准确并具体的记录下一朵花的结构和文理的那种意义上的欲望。
胡敏读故事记单词_考研英语词汇教学提纲
胡敏读故事记单词_考研英语词汇1. The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat, but Lincoln’s absolute most important contribution to America’s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “All men are created equal.” These reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln’s life came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford’s Theater in Washington D.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.Not long after Lincoln’s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.2. Mike — a Story of Personal ChangeMike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons, he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust to a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of self-pity.As someone who also adores watching films, I had slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it took a long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledge my presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.One day, I was asked to administrate our school’s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me select suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn’t have worried. Mike’s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had just adhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club the following week. ‘Hey David,’ he muttered excitedly, ‘I want to be involved with that.’The change in Mike’s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulking, Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, he would give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyone was impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.3. SaltNow that Billy’s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreed that they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhatold-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy and the old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then. When they arrived, a groupof men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed high on their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wagging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aesthetic excitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the city seemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible. However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ran straight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man in green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgun and he saw him level it and take aim at Rufus.“Please don’t shoot”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man still more. The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.“Those sheep are pregnant”, the man said, angrily. “If you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them.”“I agree”, said Billy. “And I’m sorry, please; help me get Rufus to a vet!”“I don’t think your dog will need a vet this time”, said them man, “the gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay?”4. Freshman YearI was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for all of my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever. But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt very much alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet. I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying.I wanted to work hard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes. I tried many different things, but still hadn’t found the perfect match for me. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a good job. After the show, my father said, “Sarah, you amaze me, I didn’t know you were so good at acting!” such ample praise made me very proud. That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.5. Story of the VikingsJerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and stories always involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes and foes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry’s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzed their family tree and discovered that the family’s ancestors were actually Vikings.Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell him that night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfather and hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry’s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry’s grandfather often accomplished this by using analogies to compare Jerry’s life with some thing from that day’s story. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishing trip that the Vikings madeeach year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchor because they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more room for all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing an anchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one. They thought the ship was anything but safe. These men appealed to the captain of the ship and one man even wrote an anonymous letter to the king of the Vikings asking that an anchor be put on the ship. But the captain of the ship announced that they were leaving the next day. This answer annoyed several of the Viking crew, but they listed to their captain and set sail.Not long after setting sail, the Viking ship encountered a large storm. The ship was being badly damaged and the captain felt anguish because they needed the large anchor at this moment. Soon after the storm ended, the captain apologized to his crew for not listening to them and promised to buy all of them a bottle of beer when they returned home. Although the crew of the ship was still wet and tired from the storm, they applauded when they heard the captain apologize.6. The Young Police ChiefJim had been appointed as the police chief of his local division—an appointment that he took very seriously as he secretly aspired to ascend to become the leader of the entire city’s police department. His promotion had not met with the approval of everyone within the department, because although he was an apt leader who did not ask too much of his men, many did not appreciate his somewhat arrogant methods when dealing with the senior members of the police force. As one of the youngest police chiefs ever, his promotion was considered by many of the older policemen an assault on the way thing had always been done, and they were very apprehensive at an array of new programs that Jim had installed within the department. They considered him to be an outsider who had come ashore without spending an appropriate amount of time on the police force before being promoted.Sal, one of the oldest members of the force, took Jim aside to ascertain whether Jim was aware that there might be problems ahead. “It’s not that we don’t approve of the job that you are doing”, Sal said, “but your promotion at such a young age has aroused the curiosity of what if is that makes you deserving of such a position. We need time to appraise your performance.” Jim was a very articulate young man, and there was nothing artificial about him. He decided to speak to all of the men as a group before any more problems could arise. “I understand your concerns, but I assure you that the commissioner’s decision to appoint me as your leader was not an arbitrary one”, Jim said confidently to the group. “I am not ashamed of my young age, and I hope that you will give me time to prove to you that I am worthy of being your police chief.” at that very moment, the sound of gunfire was heard outside as an assault began on the bank across the street—the criminal had very foolishly chosen to approach a bank very close to a police station. Jim was the first policeman to run outside and approach the gunman. His apt ability in dealing with such a dangerous situation was apparent to everyone. Within approximately two minutes, he had arrested the bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers, who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.7. Accident on Elm StreetThe junction between Elm Street and Beech Street was an accident black spot. It was easy to assume that no one would be coming the other way, and if a driver was not attentive enough he could easily come to grief. People attributed this to the fact that children would often assemble at the junction, making it hard for drivers to assess the traffic situation. Local residents would often assert that the only way to makethe junction safe would be to augment the poorly lit stop signs with a set of lights, or at the very least, to assign a lollipop person to the junction at the times when children were going to and from school.The local police were sympathetic to these requests, but to no avail. They claimed they lacked the authority to install a set of lights. Things had been tight since the previous year’s local government audit, and funds were unlikely to be forthcoming. However, they would, when asked, frequently assure the questioner that they hoped the government would soon augment their budget and allow them increased autonomy in making financial decisions, in which case dealing with the Elm Street junction would be a top priority. Many people pointed out that simply to wait for the government to act was pointless, that maybe a set of traffic lights could be purchased cheaply in an auction, or that a lollipop person, besides making the junction safer for the children, would cheer the place up and be an authentic asset to the community. But it seemed that for ordinary people to suggest improvements to their own community merely served to astonish the police.The matter was settled in a rather unlikely fashion. At the beginning of March a collision occurred between the Chief of Police and the auxiliary fire service chief who was speeding to attend a fire. The Chief of Police saw the accident coming and sounded his horn to give aural warning of his approach, but the auxiliary fir service chief was already attempting to avoid a small boy and was unable to assimilate the warning signals in time. The auxiliary fire service chief and his associate, who was in the back seat, were unhurt. The chief of police, however, was slightly concussed. he got out of his vehicle and staggered around with a slightly bemused expression on his face, as though he was about to attain nirvana, after which he spent twenty minutes trying to attach a parking ticket to the hole where the fireman’s windscreen had been.81. The Missing CatChristina and Patrick baker stood outside their empty house. They watched the moving company work, packing the last cardboard boxes in the large truck. They were ready to go, but their cat Nutty was nowhere to be found. Nutty had decided to withdraw and had hidden himself in the woods behind his owner’s house. Now it was time to go, and his owner were beginning to wonder where he was. The removal company wasn’t willing to wait any more, so Christina and Patrick got into the truck. Making a decision that would wrench their hearts, they left their cat behind.Their new house, across the town from their old house, was a lot beautiful. But Christina and Patrick were not happy. Nutty was worth a lot to them, they missed him greatly. Christina had given the cat as a present to Patrick on their first Christmas together. That day they laughed and laughed watching the small bundle of fur wrap himself up in a bit of wire that he had got from their Christmas wreath. He hadwound himself up while wrestling with the wire, and was now unable to move, and were beginning to worship Nutty, and the joy he brought to them.Unable to withstand a life without their favorite friend, the couple made a plan. They sat down to write a flyer. They wrote about their missing cat, and taped a photo of Nutty to the flyer. Then they went to xerox copies of the flyer. They drove back to their old neighborhood, and stuck the flyers up on telephone poles and in the local store.Sadly, the flyer did not yield the results they had been looking for. Not one single witness stepped forward to offer a word of information about their cat. However, a few days later they were outside of their new house when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw Nutty running towards them meowing! Somehow Nutty had followed their zigzag path, across every major zone of the city, and made it to their home. Christina and Patrick embraced their cat with zeal. Of course the cat was a wreck due to the journey. Someone or something had wounded him. He looked wretched, but they loved every wrinkle. They praised the cat for his bravery and wit. They hadn’t found him, but he had found them!。

1. The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat, but Lincoln’s absolute most important contributionto America’ｓ history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that aboundbetween the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “All men are created equal.” These reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men f rom both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield;the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Nameslike General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincolnis probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during thisdifficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hardto stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legallygranted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln’s life cameto an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford’s Theater in WashingtonD.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.Not long after Lincoln’s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.2. Mike — a Story of Personal ChangeMike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casuallyacknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mikehad accumulated thousands of DVDs. When h e was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the addressof the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons, he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmatesand was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding tohis DVD c ollection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust to a new environmentalthough no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of self-pity.As someone who also adores watching films, I had slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it tooka long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was anexaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledgemy presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.One day, I was asked to administrate our school’s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me s elect suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn’t have worried. Mike’s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had justadhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club thefollowing week. ‘Hey David,’he muttered excitedly, ‘Ｉwant to be involved with that.’The change in Mike’s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulking, Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, hewould give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyonewas impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.3. SaltNow that Billy’s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreedthat they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhat old-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy and the old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then. When t hey arrived, a group of men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed highon their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wagging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aestheticexcitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the cityseemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible.However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ranstraight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man i n green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgunand he saw him level it and take aim at Rufus.“Please don’t shoot”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man s till more. The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.“Those sheep are pregnant”, the man said, angrily. “If you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them.”“I agree”, said Billy. “And I’m sorry, please; help me g et Rufus to a vet!”“I don’t think your dog will need a vet this time”, said them man, “the gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay?”4. Freshman YearI was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known forall of my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever.But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. Iwas full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt verymuch alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet.I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better.I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying. I wanted to workhard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to findan alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol,like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many differentclasses. I tried many different things, but still hadn’t found the perfect match forme. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amendthings. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the dramaclub at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama clubwas an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me a dvice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amusethe audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateuractors, but I think we did a good job. After the show, my father said, “Sarah, you amaze me, I didn’t know you were so good at acting!” such ample praise made me very proud.That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.5. Story of the VikingsJerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and storiesalways involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes andfoes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry’s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzed their family tree and discovered that the family’s ancestors were actually Vikings.Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell himthat night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfatherand hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry’s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry’ｓgrandfather often accomplished this by using analogies to compare Jerry’s life with some thing from that day’s story. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishingtrip that the Vikings made each year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchorbecause they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more roomfor all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing ananchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one.

对于每一个英语句子的翻译, 并不只是使用一种翻译方法, 而是多种翻译方法的综合运用, 这在英语长句的翻译中表现得尤为突出。
长句在科技性的文体中的出现极为频繁, 因此也就成为研究生入学考试的重点, 通过对近年来试题的分析我们可以看出, 所考查的绝大多数划线的部分都是长句。
在翻译长句时, 首先，不要因为句子太长而产生畏惧心理，因为，无论是多么复杂的句子，它都是由一些基本的成分组成的。
其次要弄清英语原文的句法结构, 找出整个句子的中心内容及其各层意思, 然后分析几层意思之间的相互逻辑关系, 再按照汉语的特点和表达方式, 正确地译出原文的意思, 不必拘泥于原文的形式。
一、英语长句的分析◎一般来说, 造成长句的原因有三方面: (1) 修饰语过多;(2) 并列成分多; (3) 语言结构层次多。
在分析长句时可以采用下面的方法:. 找出全句的主语、谓语和宾语, 从整体上把握句子的结构。
. 找出句中所有的谓语结构、非谓语动词、介词短语和从句的引导词。
. 分析从句和短语的功能, 例如, 是否为主语从句, 宾语从句, 表语从句等,若是状语, 它是表示时间、原因、结果、还是表示条件等等)。
. 分析词、短语和从句之间的相互关系, 例如, 定语从句所修饰的先行词是哪一个等。
. 注意插入语等其他成分。
. 注意分析句子中是否有固定词组或固定搭配。
下面我们结合一些实例来进行分析:例1. Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuliwhich develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectualdevelopment.分析: (1) 该句的主语为behaviorists, 谓语为suggest, 宾语为一个从句, 因此整个句子为Behaviorist suggestthat-clause 结构。

It seemed that there was nothing they could do to rectify the situation or reconcile with him. Fights kept recurring. They tried to be receptive to his needs, but when he recited a long list of changes he wanted at home they reassured him that they were not acceptable. Then he raved on that they never took him seriously about anything he wanted. That was when it became clear that their chances for reconciliation were receding. He had the reciprocal feeling and left to begin a reckless life trying to reap his own rewards out of life.It was a recipe for disaster that ended with Jack taking a razor to his own wrist. At the hospital his parents saw the rectangular pattern of needle scars on Jack's arm and wept that they had not been able to reclaim their relationship with him before he tried to kill himself. When he awoke it was as if they were on recess from fighting, none of them wanted that ever again.Standing together later with his sister also in the room, the rectangle that the four of them made when they hugged felt like it would never break. As the doctor came in they were even happier to hear that Jack was the recipient of a special scholarship to get care for his depression. Maybe they would finally be a family again.和解在父母上次的训斥之后，杰克的反叛就更加厉害了。

Harry joined the army and became a member of battery. It\'s wintertime. The trees were bare because of the cold. The war ended nearby a bay. The battery bought a barrel of beer to celebrate their victory. The salesman refused to bargain over the price, but he gave them some coffee beans free. After lunch, the game began with a baseball match on basis of friendship. A batch of soldiers joined this. Beginners would feel it difficult to play. But Harry did it well. In fact, he wanted to play tennis with his new tennis bat. At that night, the strong wind unroofed the barn and a dog barked. So the battery found a captive was gone. The captive had a beard and it was said that he was a beast. No one expected this beforehand. Harry rode on a horse to purse him. The horse ran over the barrier easily. He stopped in front of the basement of a building. He took out a torch but it was useless, for the battery had run down. Harry went down. The bats flew everywhere. Finally he tried his best to catch the captive. He said to him, "On behalf of my battery, I arrest you!"哈里参军了，成为炮兵连的一员。

胡敏长难句69句1. That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted. （难度系数5，下同）译文：那种性别比例能在最大程度上增加一个个体所能拥有的后代数量，并因此能在最大程度上增加所传递到后代身上去的基因复制品的数量。
难句类型：倒装、省略<a > 本句的正常语序应当是：That sex ratio which maximizes the number of descendnts an individuall will have and hence the number of gene copies transmited will be favored.但是因为主语That sex ratio之后的以which引导的修饰它的定语从句，如果按照以上语序，则有头重脚轻之感。
所以原文将此长长的从句倒装成谓语will be favored之后。
<b > 在which引导的从句中，有两处省略：第一处在maximize的第一个宾语the number of descendants that an individuall will have中，an individuall will have是修饰descendants的定语从句，但是，因为在从句中作have的宾语，所以引导词that可以省略。
第二处省略是在第二个the number of 之前，省略了与前面一样的成分that sex ratio which maximizes. And hence在此表示后面的成分作为前面“最大化一个个体的后代的数目的”结果。
意群训练：That sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted.2. （This is ）A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower .(5++)（这是一种）译文：照亮现实的欲望，此欲望从来就不会唐突的取代后面的那种欲望，后者是我们可以将其部分的理解为一个兼任小说加和科学家的人想要去准确并具体的记录下一朵花的结构和文理的那种意义上的欲望。
复杂+倒装+省略;解释：本句子的难度在一切GRE、GMA T包括LSA T考试中所出现的难句中堪称登峰造极，可以确定地讲，类似此句子的难度的语言，在计算机考试的现场绝无可能出现。
如果对此句话不感兴趣，可以把其废掉不读。
A、这句话读起来别扭的第一个原因，是因为它根本就不是一个句子。
句首省略了this is 。
这种用一个词代替一个句子的方式如果在书面语中出现，只能出现在高级英语中，因此我们以前的英语学习中从未遇到过。
其形式类似于我们中文的“精彩”是“这句话真是精彩”的省略形式。
B、desire后跟着两个大的修饰成分，一个是to throw over reality a light，其中的a light 是被倒装到了overreality之后，正常应是throw a light over reality.不过这个便装部分与throw 距离不远，读者看得还算懂。
关键是第二个修饰成分。
注意：从that开始直到句尾结束的长长的定语从句不是修饰其前的light的，而是修饰一开始的desire的。
C、第二个修饰成分中又来了一个倒装，由于作者为了强调never,所以将其提前，引发了定语从句中的倒装：正常语序应该是that might never be given away，倒装后系动词was 被提前，given因为在情态动词might之后所以变成了原型give。
A give way to B，是A让位于B，而A be given way to B，则是A取代B。
on the part of 之后的部分修饰后面的desire，what引导的从句现场阅读时可以看成一个名词。
What从句中的不定式to recored exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower中又有一个避免头重脚轻的倒装，正常语序应该是to recored the structure and texture of a flower exactly and concretely。
D、就算能够看懂这句话的结构，可能仍然理解不了意思。
本句的意思是，哈代(注：人名老的冲动是一种简单的、说明现实的欲望，新冲动是一种即是小说家又像科学家的仔细研究一个东西的特点那样的欲望（新冲动），前一种欲望是永远也不能取代后者的。
意群训练：（This is ）A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower .3. Hardy’s weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones. （3）译文：哈代的缺陷一方面缘起于他的某种明显的无能，无法控制好那结不尽相同的创作冲动的穿梭往来；另一方面缘起于他不愿意去培养和维持那些富于生机活力和风险性强的创作冲动。
解释：介词from的宾语有两个并列的部分，由and所连接，在and之后的第二个from前，省略了前面一样的谓语动词derive。
本句之所以难，有两个原因，一是derived from 后面的成分太长，初学者难以一下子看下来；二是作为一篇文科文章，用词抽象，难以迅速理解。
意群训练：Hardy's weakenss derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energyetic and risky ones.4. V irginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics，since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness. （5）译文：弗吉尼亚.伍尔夫（Virginia Woolf）译文：在创作《黛洛维夫人》（Mrs. Dalloway）时有关其创作意图的这番发人深思的陈述，迄今为止一贯为文学评论家们所忽略，因为它突出反映了她诸多文学兴趣中某一方面，而这一方面则与人们对“诗性”小说家（poetic novelist）所形成的传统见解大相径庭。
所谓的“诗性”小说家，所关注的是审视想入非非和白日梦幻的诸般状态，并致力于追寻个体意识的通幽曲径。
难句类型：复杂修饰、省略、抽象词解释：本句逗号以前只有复杂修饰的长主语有些难，但总的来讲比较好懂，since引导的原因状语从句较难。
A、since之后的it指前面的statement，highlight的宾语an aspect之后有两个修饰成分，一个是of her literary interests，另一个是以that引导的定语从句that is very different from the traditional picture of the poetic novelist，都是修饰an aspect的。
Novelist后面又有由and 连接的两个介词结构concerned with doing 修饰novelist.B、句中有两处省略，一是在her literary interests that is very different from当中，修饰interests 的定语从句中引导词＋be that is 一起省略了。
第二处在and之后，由于concerned with与前面的concerned with重复，所以concerned被省略。
C、本句另外一个难懂的地方，就是使用了大量的抽象词。
这是文学市评论题材的文章的一个特点。
意群训练：Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement ab out her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics，since it highlights an aspect of her literary interestsvery different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.5. As she put it in The Common Reader , “It is safe to say that not a single law has been framed or one stone set upon another because of anything Chaucer said or wrote ; and yet , as we read him , we are absorbing morality at every pore .”（5-）译文：就像她在《致普通读者》一书中所表达的那样，“尽管可以毫无疑问的说，没有任何法律被指定出来，也没有任何高楼大厦被建立起来是因为乔叟说了什么或者写了什么；然而，当我们读它的书的时候，我们身上每一个毛孔都充满了道德”抽象词、抽象词组、比喻这句话不但用了词抽象，还用了比喻的修辞手法。
