1. The American economic system is, organized around a basically private-enterprise, market- oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.[参考译文] 美国的经济是以基本的私有企业和市场导向经济为架构的,在这种经济中,消费者很大程度上通过在市场上为那些他们最想要的货品和服务付费来决定什么应该被制造出来。

2. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.[参考译文] 因此,在美国的经济体系中,个体消费者的需求与商人试图最大化其利润的欲望和个人想最大化其收入效用的欲望相结合,一起决定了什么应该被制造,以及资源如何被用来制造它们。

3. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product.[参考译文] 另一方面,如果大量制造某种商品导致其成本下降,那么这就有可能增加卖方和制造商能提供的供给,而这也就会反过来降低价格并允许更多的消费者购买产品。

考研英语历年真题阅读长难句100句精析1. While warnings are often appropriate and necessary — the dangers of drug interactions,for example—and many are required by state or federal regulations,it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured.【译文】尽管警告常常是适当而且必须的——比如对于药物相互作用的危险提出警告——许多警告还是按州或联邦政府规定要求给出的,然而(我们) 并不清楚,如果顾客受到伤害时,这些警告是不是确实可以使得生产者和销售者豁免责任。

【分析】在这个主从复合句中,it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured是主句。

主句用了一个形式主语it,真正的主语是that引导的从句,而that从句之后是一个if引导的条件从句。

从句由两个部分组成,中间用and连接。

破折号之间的部分是举例说明warnings的内容。

注意:many are required by state or federal regulations中的many是指many warnings。

to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.(六十二)62、Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership--that is, it predicted the opposite.(六十三)63、As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback——a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick.(六十四)64、Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money.(六十五)65、From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders(六十六)66、Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation

businesses of every variety.(六十八)68、Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, the most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore – and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.(六十九)69、Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card

will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.(七十)70、Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions(七十一)71、Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals are her increased “opportunities” for stress.(七十二)72、The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals.(七十三)73、The Internet – with pressure from funding agencies, who are questioning why commercial publishers are making money from government-funded research by restricting access to it – is making access to scientific results a reality.(七十四)74、The report, by John Houghton of Victoria University in Australia and Graham Vickery of the OECD, makes heavy reading for publishers who have, so far, made handsome

however, he would have been one of 42.(七十七)77、Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today’s people – especially those born to families who have lived in the U.S. for many

political and economic bedrock of the country they helped to create.(八十一)81、But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciouslydevelop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and

thought that have seemed mostvaluable during the first decade or so of life.(八十二)83、It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternal (fatherly) wisdom – or at least confirm that he’s the kid’s dad.(八十三)84、Among the most popular : paternity and kinship testing , which adopted children can use to find their biological relatives and latest rage many passionate genealogists-and supports businesses that offer to search for a family’s geographic roots .(八十四)85、The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.(八十五)86、The most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England.87、While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized.(八十六)88、It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers.(八十七)89、“So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,” Newman wrote, “that I am tempted to define ‘journalism’ as ‘a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are’.”(八十八)90、During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely

particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents.(九十)92、Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.(九十一)93、Later, more established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat them to the punch.(九十二)94、In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell argues that social epidemics are driven in large part by the acting of a tiny minority of special individuals, often called influentials, who are unusually informed, persuasive, or well-connected.(九十三)95、In many such cases, a cursory search for causes finds that some small group of people was wearing, promoting, or developing whatever it is before anyone else paid attention.96、In their recent work, however, some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed.(九十四)97、The researchers’ argument stems from a simple observing about social influence: with the exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey—whose outsize presence is primarily a function of media, not interpersonal influence—even the most influential members of a population simply don't interact with that many others.(九十五)98、Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did "not live in a political vacuum" but "in the real word" and that Europe could yet develop different rules.(九十六)99、As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.(九十七)100、Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products.(九十八)(九十九)(一○○)(一○一)(一○二)(一○三)(一○四)(一○五)(一○六)(一○七)(一○八)(一○九)(一一○)(一一一)(一一二)(一一三)(一一四)(一一五)(一一六)(一一七)(一一八)(一一九)(一二○)(一二一)(一二二)Whatever(状语从句)the differences two people may exhibit in jobs or careers(工作或事业), those differences are swamped by how well/ deeply each person loves their parents(宾从).不管两个人在工作或者事业上表现的差异有多大,这些差异在他们关爱父母的程度面前都显得无足轻重。

考研英语典型长难句及解析

考研英语典型长难句及解析

1. This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.结构分析:句子的主干是This will be particularly true…。

since引导原因状语从句。

此从句中又套嵌一个由关系代词that引导的定语从句,修饰the high-energy American fashion。

在定语从句中,that做主语,makes做谓语,it做形式宾语,不定式短语to combine few farmers with high yields则是真正的宾语(不定式短语内部to combine是主干,few farmers是宾语,with high yields是状语),possible做宾语补足语。

this指代前句中提到的这种困境。

energy pinch 译为“能源的匮乏”;in…fashion译为“用…方法、方式”。

译文:这种困境将是确定无疑的,因为能源的匮乏,高能量消耗这种美国耕种方式将很难在农业中继续下去,而这种耕种方式使投入少数农民就可获得高产成为可能。

2. Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter,we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a“valid”or“fair”comparison.结构分析:句子的主干是we must be sure…。

考研英语长难句经典例子解析
来源:文都图书
考研英语的长难句在广大考生心中一直是一个超级大难点,数不清的生词,看不明白的句型和混乱的时态都让考生脑袋大了不止一圈儿,所以今天这篇文章就和大家分享一下攻克长难句的技巧。

以《考研英语长难句解密》中的一句超长的长难句为例。

【经典长难句】
The increase in numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of house work and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.
【词汇突破】
have to do with…与…有关
Economic necessity 经济需求
pool of single women workers 单身女工的资源
high marriage rates 高结婚率
【参考译文】20世纪,在家庭外被雇佣的女性人数增加了,这与其说是由于家务活的机器化和闲暇时间的增加,还不如说是由于女性自身的经济需求和由于高结婚率。

正是高结婚率减少了单身女工劳动力资源的数量,而在这之前很多情况下,她们是雇主们会雇佣的唯一女性。

像书中的解句顺序一样,攻克长难句首先应该拿下句中的生词和短语,这是基础,是盖房所需的砖瓦,然后再攻克句法,拿下房屋结构,这样再对照参考译文,以前觉得很难的长难句就“柳暗花明又一村”了。

希望大家首先消除内心对长难句的恐惧心理,静下心来好好分析,好好学习,争取早日拿下长难句,拿下考研英语!加油!。
