英語六級閱讀真題長難句解析(13)

　　1. Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. (1997. 閱讀. 1. Text 3)

　　【譯文】一個人的著裝為我們判斷他是怎樣的人，他不是怎樣的人，以及他想成為怎樣的人提供了線索，這在我們得出結(jié)論的過程中扮演重要角色。

　　【析句】主句Clothes paly a critical part in the conclusions,we reach by providing clues to...作the conclusions的的賓語從句，省略了that或which，并且by providing...作方式狀語。最后，在賓語從句中，providing clues to后有三個并列的who引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，作介詞in的賓語。

　　2. Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won’t secure you the big promotion. (1997. 閱讀. 1. Text 4)

　　【譯文】科爾曼得出的結(jié)論是，如今工作表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異的人如此常見，以至于僅僅做好自己的工作只能幫你獲得加薪，卻無法保證得到大幅度的職位晉升。

　　【析句】復(fù)合句。主句是Coleman concludes that賓語從句，重點在that賓語從句。賓語從句中，主句是excellent job performace is so common that it won't secure you the big promotion。賓語從句的主句中包含了so...that...結(jié)構(gòu)，而that引導(dǎo)的句子it won't secure you...前，有while引導(dǎo)的表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的并列句。

　　3. Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down heir visibility. (1997. 閱讀. 1. Text 4)

　　【譯文】多數(shù)女性職員和黑人職員十分擔(dān)心別人會認(rèn)為他們是依靠性別或膚色才表現(xiàn)突出，因此他們努力讓自己變得不起眼。

　　【析句】與例句2類似，例句3也使用了so...that...結(jié)構(gòu)，不同的是，例句2中so之后只有一個that，并且that引導(dǎo)了兩個并列句，而例句3中，so后有兩個that引導(dǎo)的句子。第一個that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，第二個that才與so搭配。
