在SAT語法中名詞修飾部分也是考核的一個重點和難點。下面是小編為大家整理收集的關于SAT語法中名詞結構與動名詞結構的用法解析,希望對大家有所幫助。
名詞結構
Noun 1 + of + Noun 2 結構(難度:中等)
Noun 1 of Noun 2(名詞 1 of 名詞 2)是常見的介詞短語表達修飾的現象,其中 Noun 1 是被修飾對象,Noun 2 是修飾語,通常翻譯成"Noun 2 的 Noun 1"。例如,character of flower 翻 譯成"花的性格"。若名詞結構較長,需抓出結構中的名詞主詞,幫助理清思路。
【例句】Its international associations, its ideals of artists'involvement with the crafts,of the integrity of artists and artisans, and of social awareness were to inspire entiregenerations to come.
【結構】Its international associations, its N1ideals of artists'involvement with the crafts, N2-1of the integrity of artists and artisans, and N2-2of social awareness were to inspire entire generations to come.
翻譯:關于藝術家及技工的完整性,還有社會意識的國際組織及藝術家參與工藝品的理想狀態都是為了激勵整代人的到來。
量詞 + Noun 也屬于名詞修飾結構的一種,例如 a piece of cake 翻譯成"一塊面包"。
【例句】I had the merest inkling of this fame when I was walking along the street one sunny morning, and a stranger pointed a long index finger at me.
翻譯:當我在一個陽光明媚的早上走在街上,一個陌生人用手指指向我的時候,我感覺到一點點明星的感覺。
inkling 做量詞,表示"一點點"
Noun1 of Noun2 結構出中現附加修飾成分或倒裝的現象
【例句】But only a minority of people are able to recognize this fact; and, of that minority, only a minority will act upon it.
翻譯:但是只有一少部分的人會認清這個事實;并且這一小部分人中也只有一小部分的人會去行動。
of that minority 是 Noun 2,修飾 only a minority
正常語序為 But only a minority of people are able to recognize this fact; and only a minority of that minority will act upon it.
be + of + Noun 結構(難度:中等)
在主系表句型中,存在一種 be+of+名詞的固定用法,of+名詞結構修飾主語。需要結合語境實現準確翻譯。有時,of 后名詞表達事物價值、程度等,of 則帶有"具有;具備"的含義。
【例句】Once the discipline is established, the problem chosen, and the scientist immersed in the work, he or she becomes as persuaded as need be of the centrality and urgency of the particular work being done.
翻譯:他或她變得對一個工作需要被完成的核心性和緊急性深信不疑。
of centrality and urgency 翻譯為"具有核心性和緊急性"
有時,of 后名詞是集合名詞,of 通常表示所屬關系,帶有"屬于"的含義,相當于 belong to或 have。
有時,of 后名詞表達事物的材料,be+of 相當于 be made of 或 be built of。
有時,of 后名詞表達事物屬性,如種類、顏色、形狀、價格等,of 則表達"是"的含義,甚至可以省略。
動名詞結構(難度:中等)
動名詞詞由動詞詞尾加 ing 構成。顧名思義,動名詞既有名詞屬性,又有動詞屬性,其后可以接名詞形成動賓關系(動名詞動作發出的主體名詞用所屬格,代詞用賓格)。這種動賓關 系往往會造成成分變長,閱讀難度增加。解決策略是將動名詞及后接名詞構成的動賓關系看 作為一個整體,做名詞用。
【例句】I can bear his smoking in the bedroom.
翻譯:我受不了他在臥室吸煙。
his smoking in the bedroom 整體做賓語
his 是 smoking 動作發出主體
動名詞與動詞一樣具有時態及主被動關系。
【例句】The champion prided himself on having never been overperformed in boxing.
翻譯:這個冠軍為沒有在拳擊中被人超越而感到自豪。
having never been over performed in boxing 表示被動
