2018考研英语：语法长难句攻克（2）

13. One leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better.

【词汇突破】authority 权威

harness 使停止的意思;和stop 可以互换但是更加正式的表达;还有一个单词是curb，这个单词表示控制的意思相当于control，原意是缰绳的意思，这个单词为考研高频词。

conscious 有意识的

intensely powerful mental event在原文中就等于dreams;

【主干识别】one leading authority says that+宾语从句;

【其他成分】宾语从句的主干是these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control; 并列连词not only but also 连接两个并列的动词harnessed 和brought;to help us sleep and feel better 为目的状语

【难点揭秘】动词的并列造成识别上的困难。

【译文赏析】而一名顶级权威认为，这些极其强烈的大脑活动不仅可以被抑制，实际上还可以受到意识的控制，进而帮助我们睡眠，使我们感觉好一些。

14.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for them- selves goals that pose a real challenge.

【词汇突破】utility 运用

supervision 监管

【主干识别】they will have to operate and be able to make a few decisions. 并列的两个谓语由and 连接;

【其他成分】But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility状语;with less human supervision状语;at least状语;goals that pose a real challenge整个句子的同位语。

【微观解析】同位语goals 被定语从句修饰;

【难点揭秘】动词的并列，状语的隔离;同位语的识别需要关注。

【译文赏析】但是如果机器人能在下一个阶段达到节省人工的运用，它们将必须在更少的人力监督之下工作，而且还要至少能够自己做出几个决定--这些目标才会带来真的挑战。

【翻译点拨】对于the next stage of laborsaving utility的处理，如果直译就是：如果机器人要达到节省人工的运用的下一个阶段在，这样的表达不仅拗口而且难懂，就是典型的死译，所以把定语转译为状语。
