6.英语多前重心.ppt

* 六、英语多前重心，汉语多后重心 　　在表达多逻辑思维时，英语往往是判断或结论等在前，事实或描写等在后，即重心在前；汉语则是由因到果、由假设到推论、由事实到结论，即重心在后。 1. I was all the more delighted when，as a result of the initiative of your government it proved possible to reinstate the visit so quickly. 由于贵国政府的提议，才得以这样快地重新实现访问。这使我感到特别高兴。 2.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. 凡是有钱的男人必定需要有个贤内助，这是举世公认的真理。 4. It was a keen disappointment that I had to postpone the visit which I intended to pay to China in January. 我原来打算在今年一月访问中国，后来不得不推迟，这使我非常失望。 5. There are many wonderful stories to tell about the places I visited and the people I met. 我出访了好多地方，见到的人也不少，要谈起来，奇妙的事儿可多着呢。 6.
