今日长难句:
yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world, and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people.(英语二 2014 t1)
温馨贴士:
本句是由and连接的两个并列分句。在分句1中,主语是link,谓语动词是被动形式can be seen,among rich and poor people around the world是介词短语做状语,修饰谓语动词can be seen,表示其发生的范围,between feeling good and spending money on others 是介词短语做后置定语,修饰限定主语的the link;在分句2中,主语是scarcity,谓语动词是enhances,宾语是the pleasure,of most things for most people是介词短语做后置定语,修饰前面的pleasure。
背记单词:
1. link [l??k] n. 关联,联系
2. scarcity [?ske?s?ti] n. 不足,缺乏
【扩展】scarce [ske?s] adj. 缺乏的,不足的
3. enhance [?n?hɑ:ns] v. 提高,加强
4. pleasure [‘ple??] n. 快乐;愉悦
参考译文:?
然而,全世界范围内,无论在穷人还是富人中,都可以见到 “感觉良好” 和“将钱用到别人身上”的联系,且对大部分人来讲,稀缺提升了大部分事物的愉悦感。
翻译技巧:
根据语境被动常译为主动。例如:yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world 我们处理为了“然而,全世界范围内,无论在穷人还是富人中,都可以见到 “感觉良好” 和“将钱用到别人身上”的联系”。
明日长难句预告:
since technology has such an insatiable appetite for eating up human jobs, this phenomenon will continue to restructure our economy in ways we can’t immediately foresee.(英语二 2014 t3)????
