如何快速讀懂雅思閱讀中的長難句？

 雅思閱讀中的長難句一般都具有一下特點：長度比較長，一句話3-4行；結構比較復雜，各種成分之間的修飾限定；詞匯比較難，大多學術詞匯。雖然長難句看起來比較難以攻破，但是只要同學們掌握了分析方法和技巧，就能又快有準地看懂這些句子。

雅思閱讀長難句分析的方法可以歸納為兩點 ：找主干，理分支。

第一步：找主干

記住這里的主干指的是長難句分析中主句的主謂賓成分，由于長難句大多都是由各種不同的從句和主句一起構成，所以大家要分辨清楚主句和從句的主謂，避免混淆。

第二步：理分支

對長難句中除了主句的部分進行梳理，分清楚是名詞性從句、定語從句還是狀語從句，再對整句話進行判斷和理解。

例句1:

During this period, researchers from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the Central American Institute of Health in Nicaragua, the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua and the Costa Rucan Institute of Health interviewed nearly 3,000 women, some of whom had learnt to read as children, some during the literacy crusade and some who had never learnt at all.

第一步：找主干

researchers interviewed  

第二步：理分支

During this period為時間狀語;

from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the Central American Institute of Health in Nicaragua, the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua and the Costa Rucan Institute of Health 為四個并列的介詞短語構成的后置定語

nearly 3,000 women為謂語interviewed的賓語;

some of whom had learnt to read as children, some during the literacy crusade and some who had never learnt at all. 為三個并列的定語從句，修飾women。

翻譯：

在此期間，來自利物浦熱帶醫(yī)學院，尼加拉瓜中美洲健康研究所，國立自治大學的尼加拉瓜和哥斯達黎加衛(wèi)生研究所的研究人員采訪了將近3000名婦女，他們中的一些人在兒童時期就學會了閱讀，一些人在掃盲運動中學會了閱讀，還有一些人根本就沒有學過閱讀。

例句2:

Behaviorists  suggest  that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greatly intellectual development.

第一步：找主干

Behaviorists  suggest

第二步：理分支

that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greatly intellectual development.為that引導的賓語從句，位于主句謂語動詞suggest后面，并且賓語從句內的主語是child，謂語為will experience；

who is raised in an environment為who引導的定語從句修飾child；

which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses為which引導的定語從句，修飾stimuli。

翻譯：

行為學家認為，如果一個孩子在有許多刺激物的環(huán)境中長大，而這些刺激物又能發(fā)展他或她作出適當反應的能力，那么他或她就會有很大的智力發(fā)展。

例句3:

The cessation of the employment of extraordinary means to prolong the life of the body when there is irrefutable evidence that biological death is imminent is the decision of the patient and/or her immediate family.

第一步：找主干

The cessation is

第二步：理分支

of the employment of extraordinary means to prolong the life of the body 為后置定語修飾名詞cessation；

of the patient and/or her immediate family為后置定語修飾名詞decision。
