佳句赏析 1.Now the tide appears to be turning. “现在这种潮流（形势）似乎在逆转”，相当于汉语中的“三十年河东，三十年河西”。“tide... turn”这样的搭配经常用于描述潮流或形势的变化，比较贴切、形象。 如：The tide of the battle turned against us.（战斗的形势开始变得不利于我们）。 2.Important information can get buried in a sea of trivialities. “重要的信息可能被埋没在浩如烟海的细枝末节里”。句中的“a sea of”是一个比喻，形容“一大片，大量的”。如：The immense square was a sea of flowers and happy faces.（这个大广场上到处是鲜花和笑脸） 3.People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge. 该句中的... looking back... years from now may well wonder...结构可以表达人们隔一段时间后看过去的事情发出的感叹。如：When you look back ten years from now, you may well wonder how stupid you are. 4.omputer education advocates forsake this optimistic notion for a pessimism that betrays their otherwise cheery outlook. 句子主要是forsake sth for sth，forsake后的optimistic和for后面的a pessimism意思正好相反，形式上形成对仗。 5.It should be observed, of course, that no school, vocational or not, is helped by a confusion over its purpose. 该句主干是It should be observed that...，真正的主语是that引导的一个主语从句，vocational or not是插入语，修饰从句主语school。这句话主要的特点是插入语使用比较灵活，of course 和vocational or not都是状语作插入语。 6.Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. 用likewise连接的这两个句子中，分别含有if引导的条件从句，并且都运用了动词短语连用的形式，前后结构对称，具有美感。 7.Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgement. 此句采用并列祈使句的形式，使整个句子精炼。 例句补充：Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgement. Then you can find something of real value.（保持耳目灵敏,并且运用自己的判断。这样你就会发现真正有价值的东西。） 8.The cruel discipline of the strike and lockout taught the two parties to respect each other’s strength and understand the value of fair negotiation. 仿照这句话的表达方式可以表达“某些客观因素促使有分歧的两派人物坐下来协商和解”，如：The common enemy brought the two used to be rival countries to respect each other’s strength and understand the value of fair negotiation. 9.Among..., I would single out...; a labor force that...; the practice of...; and above all the American genius for... 当要从众多的原因中罗列几个，并且着重点出一个时，可以仿照该句用分号表示并列，用短语突出其中之一
