分析长难句的方法就是先把长难句拆分成简单句。搞清楚简单句的意思,然后看这些简单句都是由那些连接词连接起来的。根据这些连接词来判断各个分句之间的关系。比如:
It is true that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature, equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought, but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement.
首先找出这句话有几个限定动词。因为限定动词就是谓语。找到谓语后就知道主语了。这句话一共有四个限定动词,分别是is, faced, would make和did not go。他们的主语分别是谁呢?is的主语是it,但it只是一个形式主语。真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。主语从句的谓语是faced,主语是they。宾语是difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature。后面这个equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought,是个过去分词短语做原因状语。里面还包含了一个定语从句。定语从句的主语是which,谓语是would make,modern climber是宾语,shudder at the thought是宾语补足语。but作为并列连词,不做成分。并列两个句子。较后的句子主语是they,谓语是did not go,out of their way 是状语。go out of their way 的意思 “故意”。to court,such excitement是状语。
把这句话拆成简单句就是:
It is true
that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature, equipped in a manner
which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought,
but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement.
这样看就不难了。因为只有两个从句,一个是主语从句,一个是定语从句。较难的是那个过去分词短语,因为它没有引导词,你看不出来它和主句的关系。这就需要长期的分析句子结构的训练才能掌握。它是原因状语,说明为什么他们会面临较困难的危险,可以把它扩写成because they were equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought. 因为他们用一种让现代人一想都不寒而栗的方式武装起来。
全句的意思是:的确,在他们的探险过程中,他们会面临较危险的那种危险和困难,他们的装备让现在人一想都不寒而栗,但是他们并不是故意去寻求这样的刺激。
