復(fù)雜的非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的理解 例306

例306　The relative motion of the plates carrying these continents has been constructed in detail, but the motion of the plates with respect to another cannot readily be translated into motion with respect to the earth's interior.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】The relative motion of the plates是主語(yǔ)，后面是分詞定語(yǔ)carrying these continents，動(dòng)詞是has been constructed，后面轉(zhuǎn)折but，主語(yǔ)是the motion of the plates，后面加上介詞with respect to another作定語(yǔ)修飾前面的名詞，動(dòng)詞是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，cannot readily be translated，賓語(yǔ)是motion，后面是介詞短語(yǔ)with respect to the earth's interior做定語(yǔ)修飾前面的名詞。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于分詞短語(yǔ)carrying和介詞短語(yǔ)with respect to很好的使用，都修飾前面的名詞of，此句子兩個(gè)of短語(yǔ)做主語(yǔ)，兩個(gè)定語(yǔ)緊跟著使用，很押韻。

【核心詞匯】

relative motion　相對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)

plates carrying these continents　攜帶這些大陸板塊

construct　表述出來(lái)

in detail　詳細(xì)地

the motion of the plates　板塊的運(yùn)動(dòng)

with respect to　相對(duì)于

translated into　解釋為

the earth's interior　地球內(nèi)部

【參考譯文】攜帶這些大陸板塊的相對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)已經(jīng)能夠被詳細(xì)地表述出來(lái)，但是這些板塊相對(duì)于另一些板塊的運(yùn)動(dòng)還不能輕易地解釋為它們相對(duì)于地球內(nèi)部的運(yùn)動(dòng)。
