復(fù)雜的賓語從句以及表語從句的拆分和理解 例59

例59　Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是個(gè)典型的賓語從句，也就是Sternberg notes that...，賓語從句的主語是traditional tests，動(dòng)詞是assess，賓語是analytical and verbal skills，轉(zhuǎn)折詞but后面的動(dòng)詞是fail to measure，賓語是creativity and practical knowledge，后面是這個(gè)賓語的同位語，也就是components also critical to problem solving and life success。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于同位語的正確使用，components also critical to problem solving and life success用來解釋什么叫做實(shí)踐知識(shí)。

【核心詞匯】

traditional tests　傳統(tǒng)的測(cè)試

best assess　最好的評(píng)估出

analytical and verbal skills　分析能力和語言能力

creativity and practical knowledge　創(chuàng)造性和實(shí)際才能

critical　極其重要

problem solving and life success　解決問題和成功人生

【參考譯文】斯頓伯格指出傳統(tǒng)的測(cè)試能最好地評(píng)估出分析能力和語言能力而不能衡量一個(gè)人的創(chuàng)造性和實(shí)際才能以及那些對(duì)于解決問題和成功人生也極其重要的因素。
