雅思考試小技巧——雅思閱讀長難句分析

長難句中最常見的就是修飾性成分過多的長難句。對于這種句子，我們要做的就是找出主謂賓，省去修飾性成分。常見的修飾性成分有：從句、狀語、補(bǔ)足語等。下面我們來舉個例子：

For instance, the very women who had been drawn to him by the penetrating intuition of the female heart that he showed in his novels were appalled to discover how insensitive and awkward the real man could be.

大家都能夠很容易的找出本句的主語應(yīng)該是the very women，接下來我們要去找謂語動詞。在讀的過程中需要省略修飾性成分，因此，要把who開始的部分省略。who had been drawn to him by the penetrating intuition of the female heart均是用來修飾women的，而之后的that部分修飾就近的名詞intuition（intuition of the female heart的中心詞是intuition）。忽略掉這兩個從句部分我們就能夠看到這句的謂語動詞were了。之后的how部分又是一個從句，解釋說明discover的內(nèi)容。所以可以很清楚的找出本句的主干：the very women were appalled to discover。

參考譯文：例如，那些被他在小說中展現(xiàn)出來的對女人心靈的敏銳直覺所吸引的女人們，非常震驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)，他在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中是多么愚笨。
