例189 It's hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut.
【結構分析】這句話開頭是個it形式主語句子,也就是It's hard to imagine that...,后面是真正的賓語從句,賓語從句的主語是many people,系動詞是are,表語是dumb enough,后面是不定式短語to want children,后面是原因狀語從句just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous,冒號后面是個短句,解釋整個句子的另外一層意思,也就是most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于it形式主語句套上賓語從句再套上原因狀語從句,很經典。
【核心詞匯】
it's hard to imagine that 很難想象
dumb enough 足夠的愚蠢
glamorous 有魅力的
a baby is not a haircut 養(yǎng)孩子可不是剪頭發(fā)那樣簡單
【參考譯文】很難想象有的人生孩子就只是很傻很天真,因為Reese和Angelina這種名流使這種行為變的很光鮮——多數成年人其實理解:養(yǎng)孩子可不是剪頭發(fā)那樣簡單。
