第二章 长难句理解突破.ppt

用长难句分析法分析并翻译下列句子。 1. First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Format in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecolab Polytechnique (理工大学). 【思路点拨】过去分词短语put forward 的逻辑主语是 the theorem, and并列的两个定语从句修饰a French woman scientist。 译文：这个定理，先是由十七世纪法国数学家皮尔法特提出，曾使一批杰出的数学大师为难，包括一位法国女科学家，她在解决这个难题方面取得了重大的进展，她曾女扮男装为了能够在伊科尔理工学院学习。 2.

Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic ended and science began. 【思路点拨】夹杂两个定语从句，分别修饰scientist 和point。译文：牛顿被证明是一位很有才华的科学家，他处于一个魔术终结科学开启的历史时期，他也有普通人所特有的弱点。 5. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals（ITA）in salt Lake City. 【思路点拨】夹杂with构成的介词短语作状语及过去分词短语needed for...作定语修饰listeners。译文：据盐湖城的ITA的观点，闪烁的棕色眼睛，摇着尾巴，并有无条件的爱心，狗能成为无判断力的（忠实的）听者，这是刚开始搞阅读的小孩所需要的。 6.
