例23 Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomenona.
【結構分析】這句話是復雜的連環(huán)定語從句,主干是Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry,后面加上定語從句which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic manner,后面再加上定語從句that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomenona。
【亮點回放】這句話是很棒的連環(huán)的定語從句,最后的定語從句是the same后面加上that的定語從句,不能加which,是個固定搭配,還表示一種比較關系,很經(jīng)典。
【核心詞匯】
intellectual enquiry 知識學科
endeavors 行為
reasoned, orderly, systematic manner 有邏輯,有秩序,系統(tǒng)化的方式
study of natural phenomenona 研究自然現(xiàn)象
【參考譯文】社會學是一種知識分支,跟自然學家研究自然現(xiàn)象一樣,用同樣的有邏輯的,有秩序的,系統(tǒng)化的方式研究人類和人類的行為習慣。
