托福聽力長(zhǎng)難句分析(十九)

 同學(xué)們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)托福聽力的過程中，最頭疼的就是句子的理解，尤其是長(zhǎng)難句。但是相對(duì)于閱讀文本來說，聽力的問題其實(shí)是比較簡(jiǎn)答的，我們?cè)诶斫饩渥拥臅r(shí)候基本只要考劃分句子的主干成分，配合一些短語搭配就可以了，但是關(guān)鍵是要求我們的反應(yīng)速度要非常的快，我們現(xiàn)在就具體以TPO中的句子為例，來分析一下長(zhǎng)難句。(TPO3-L3)

Some of the world’s oldest preserved art is the cave art of Europe, most of it in Spain and France. And the earliest cave paintings found to date are those of the Chauvet Cave in France discovered in 1994.

世界上保存的最古老的藝術(shù)之一是歐洲洞窟的藝術(shù)，其中大部分在西班牙和法國。而至今發(fā)現(xiàn)的最早的洞窟比劃是那些在1994年發(fā)現(xiàn)的法國肖韋洞窟

I mean, we tend to think that people who lived at that time must have been pretty primitive. But I’m gonna show you some slides in a few minutes and I think you will agree with me that this art is anything but primitive.

我們傾向于這么想，生活在那個(gè)時(shí)代的人們一定很原始。但是我馬上會(huì)給大家展示一些換燈片，你們一定會(huì)同意我的說法，他們的藝術(shù)一點(diǎn)也不簡(jiǎn)單原始。

They are masterpieces. And they look so real, so alive that it’s very hard to imagine that they are so very old.

這些作品都是佳品，他們看起來很真實(shí)，栩栩如生，我們很難想象這些作品已經(jīng)歷史悠久了。

Now, not everyone agrees on exactly how old. A number of the Chauvet paintings have been dated by a lab to 30,000 or more years ago.

不是所有人都對(duì)他的確切日期持一致看法，根據(jù)某實(shí)驗(yàn)室的數(shù)據(jù)，若干肖韋洞窟的壁畫可以追溯到三萬年前甚至更久。

That would make them not just older than any other cave art, but about twice as old as the art in the caves at Altamira or Lascaux, which you may have heard of.

這使得這些壁畫不僅比其他洞窟藝術(shù)更為久遠(yuǎn)，更是Altamira和Lascaux洞窟藝術(shù)作品年代的兩倍，你們應(yīng)該聽過這兩個(gè)洞窟的名字吧。

Some people find it hard to believe Chauvet is so much older than Altamira and Lascaux, and they noted that only one lab did the dating for Chauvet, without independent confirmation from any other lab.

某些人難以相信肖韋洞窟比這兩個(gè)洞窟的年代更久遠(yuǎn)，根據(jù)他們的記錄，曾經(jīng)只有一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室有關(guān)于肖偉洞穴的年代記錄，該記錄是沒有得到其他實(shí)驗(yàn)室的確認(rèn)的。

But be that as it may, whatever the exact date, whether it’s 15,000, 20,000 or 30,000 years ago, the Chauvet paintings are from the dawn of art. So they are a good place to start our discussion of cave painting.

但是不管怎樣，不管確切年代是何時(shí)，肖韋洞窟是出于藝術(shù)的開端。
