文都考研,何凯文每天一句

A further inference was drawn by Pascal,who reasoned that if this “sea of air”existed, its pressure at the bottom(i.e. sea level) would be greater than its pressure further up, and that therefore the height of mercury column would decrease in proportion to the height above sea-level.

【译文】帕斯卡作了进一步推论，他说，如果这种“空气海洋”存在的话，其底部（即海平面）的压力就会比其高处的压力大。因此，水银柱的高度降低量与海拔高度成正比。

【解析】这是个由一个主句和一个定语从句、两个宾语从句、一个状语从句组成的长句，长句体现了科技英语句法的一大特点。像这种句子，首先必须弄清其结构，按照汉语习惯，分割成若干个子句，才能够清晰地表达原意。

考研中AS 的用法

之前很多同学都在问As的用法，零零星星的在空间和微博中给大家讲过一些，这里给大家梳理一下，当然这个梳理是局限在考研范围之内的，毕竟大家时间有限，掌握考点是当务之急。

一．介词

（一）好像：

They enteredthe building disguised as cleaners.

他们化装成清洁工人的模样进入了大楼。

（二）作为，当作：

I am tempted to define “journalism”as a term of contempt.

我禁不住将新闻业定义为一个蔑视的称谓。

（be temptedto 直译为“被诱惑”，但是用I 做主语的时候最好转译为：禁不住，愿意，会等）

He has elected the activity of thinking as his primary duty.

他已经选择了思考的行为作为他主要的责任

（elect = choose）

His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.

他作为音乐评论家的声誉一直饱受争议。

二．副词

(一) 1.As(副词)+形容词或副词+as（介词）+名词(构成比较结构)

The dress is twice as expesive as that one.

(倍数加在第一个as前）
