GRE閱讀考試長(zhǎng)難句實(shí)例分析9

　　1. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels，bringing to our attention in the　process somefascinating and little-known works like JamesWeldon　Johnson‘s Autobiography of an Ex-ColoredMan. (4)注意：bring A to B ——〉bring to B A

　　《黑人小說(shuō)》考察了極為廣泛的一系列小說(shuō)，在此過(guò)程中讓我們注意到了某些引人入勝但卻鮮為人知的作品，如詹姆斯。韋爾登。約翰遜(James Weldon Johnson)的《一個(gè)曾經(jīng)是有色人的自傳》(Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man)。

　　難句類(lèi)型：倒裝

　　解釋?zhuān)涸谝詁ringing開(kāi)頭的作狀語(yǔ)的分詞中出現(xiàn)了倒裝，bring A to B被倒裝為bring to B A，其倒裝的原因仍是為了避免頭重腳輕，正常的語(yǔ)序應(yīng)該如下：bringing some fascinating and little-known works likeJames Weldon johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man to our attention in the process.

　　意群訓(xùn)練：Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels， bringing to our attention in the　process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon　Johnson's Autobiographyof an Ex-Colored Man.

　　2. In addition， the style of some Black novels， like Jean Toomer‘s Cane， verges onexpressionism or surrealism ; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalenttheme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted ， a theme usuallyconveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression ? (5)

　　不僅如此，有些黑人小說(shuō)(比如JT的甘蔗)的風(fēng)格接近與表現(xiàn)主義和超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義;這種技巧是否為流行的主題提供了一個(gè)和諧的對(duì)應(yīng)呢?這種主題刻畫(huà)了黑人注意與之相抗?fàn)幍拿\(yùn)，這是一個(gè)通常用更為自然主義的表現(xiàn)手法所表達(dá)的主題。

　　難句類(lèi)型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語(yǔ)

　　解釋?zhuān)涸诒揪渲杏腥齻€(gè)詞需要先解釋一番：verge on這個(gè)詞組是接近于、瀕于的意思，hero在文學(xué)作品中是主人公的意思，pit作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，除了挖坑、窖藏之外，還有使競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、使斗爭(zhēng)的意思，其英文釋義為：to set asgamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight， to set into opposition or rivalry usually used withagainst.在此用的是后一種語(yǔ)義的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)則是：pit black heros againt fate.

　　另外本句的結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，分號(hào)之后是一個(gè)一般疑問(wèn)句，但是由于修飾成分過(guò)多，過(guò)長(zhǎng)，使得讀者看不清楚這個(gè)句子在問(wèn)什么。其實(shí)如果沒(méi)有最后的那個(gè)prevalent theme的同位語(yǔ)a theme usually conveyed by morenaturalistic modes of expression，本句會(huì)易懂得多。

　　意群訓(xùn)練：In addition， the style of some Black novels， like Jean Toomer's Cane， verges onexpressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted， a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?
