復(fù)雜的同位語從句的拆分和理解 例103

例103　In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】In a draft preface to the recommendations是個(gè)介詞短語狀語，discussed at the 17 May meeting是個(gè)分詞定語，修飾前面的recommendations，主句的主語是Shapiro，動(dòng)詞是suggested，賓語從句是that the panel had found a broad consensus，后面that引導(dǎo)了同位語從句it would be morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning，其中attempt to是固定搭配。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于賓語從句套上同位語從句，很經(jīng)典，這兩個(gè)功能確實(shí)不一樣，后面的同位語從句很容易理解成定語從句，consensus這種表示觀點(diǎn)的詞匯，一般是加同位語從句的，翻譯成那就是，定語從句套同位語從句是很經(jīng)典的，很有魅力的。
