導(dǎo)讀:從句本身是一個完整的句子,因此,從句與從句之間的關(guān)系可能包孕、套嵌,也可能并列、平行。

從功能來說,英語有三大復(fù)合句,即:
 ?、倜~性從句,包括主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句;
 ?、谛稳菰~性從句,即我們平常所說的定語從句;
 ?、蹱钫Z從句。非謂語動詞可以有自己的時態(tài)和語態(tài)(過去分詞除外),也可以跟自己的邏輯主語、賓語、狀語等成分,構(gòu)成一個非謂語動詞結(jié)構(gòu)。由于非謂語動詞和從句的這些特點,使英語句子從理論上講可以無限延長。
  英語長句的分析方法:去枝葉,留主干。
  1)劃出句子中的定語從句和狀語從句;
  2)劃出所有介詞短語(位于be動詞后的除外);
  3)名詞性從句看作一個整體,找出句中所有的謂語結(jié)構(gòu)、非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)、介詞短語和從句的引導(dǎo)詞;
  4)非謂語動詞結(jié)構(gòu)看作一個整體;
  5)找出全句的主語、謂語和賓語,即句子的主干;
  6)分析從句的結(jié)構(gòu)和非謂語動詞的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)。
  長難句分析的步驟舉例:
  經(jīng)典例題(2001年考研完型填空第二段)
  In a significant tightening of legalcontrols over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce adraft bill that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and willstrictly control the amount of publicity that can be given to a case before atrial begins.
  分析:
  第一,劃出定語從句和狀語從句: that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and willstrictly control the amount of publicity /that can be given to a case /before atrial begins.
  第二,劃出介詞短語:In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press
  第三,句子的結(jié)構(gòu)分析:
  (1)主干結(jié)構(gòu)是主語(Lord Irvine含同位語the Lord Chancellor)+將來時謂語(will introduce)+賓語(a draft bill);
  (2)that引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾draft bill,其中,will propose 是第一個謂語,making payments towitnesses illegal是一個動名詞短語做賓語,在動名詞短語內(nèi)部,payments towitnesses做making的賓語,illegal是賓補;第二個謂語是will strictly control, the amount ofpublicity是它的賓語。that can be given to a case before atrial begins是孕含有一個時間狀語從句(before a trial begins)的定語從句,修飾publicity。
  請大家按照上述步驟認(rèn)真分解以下的句子,并把分解后的句子讀熟甚至背過,則基本上可以解決考研長難句問題。
