復(fù)雜的形式主語和形式賓語的拆分和理解 例208

例208　When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion是個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句，主干是it is advisable to find out..., what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句what its advocates are aiming at, for引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句，后面加上插入語however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today，這個(gè)狀語從句的主干是it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于多個(gè)狀語從句，前面有時(shí)間狀語從句，后面是原因狀語從句，這種狀語從句前后夾擊很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

a new movement in art　藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的一個(gè)新運(yùn)動(dòng)

attain a certain fashion　發(fā)展成某種流行時(shí)尚

advisable　合理的

advocate　倡導(dǎo)

aim at　真正意圖

farfetched and unreasonable　牽強(qiáng)無理

principle　原則

【參考譯文】當(dāng)藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的一個(gè)新運(yùn)動(dòng)發(fā)展成某種流行時(shí)尚時(shí)，最好應(yīng)該弄清這場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)倡導(dǎo)者的真正意圖，因?yàn)椴还芩麄兊脑瓌t在今天看來多么牽強(qiáng)無理，很可能多年以后他們的理論會(huì)被視為正常。
