一、原句:But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. (2002年 Text2)
主干識別:the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent
問題1:主干部分是不是and連接兩個句子,第二個句子主語the human mind 是不是省略了主干的賓語呢?a rapidly changing scene 和the 98 percent作什么成分,the 98 percent是做disregard的賓語嗎?immediately是不是副詞修飾 disregard?change 寫成changing 是為了作scene的定語嗎?
解析:連詞and連接的是情態動詞can后面兩個并列的動賓短語,不是句子。整個句子的主語是the human mind,并列的兩個謂語是can glimpse和(can) disregard, a rapid changing scene是glimpse的賓語, the 98 percent是disregard的賓語。immediately是副詞,修飾動詞disregard。changing是形容詞,作定語。
問題2:the monkey or the single suspicious face 為focus on 的并列賓語,or 前后都為名字為什么不是同位語?做focus on 的并列賓語,這是邏輯主語還是什么情況?
二、原句:Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip. (2007年 Text2)
問題1:whether 能不能換成that ?為什么?
解析:whether不能換成that, whether A or B, 表示選擇條件“或者A或者B”、“無論A還是B”。
問題2:分析并翻譯一下句子,不太明白。
解析:句子主干:Anyonewill testifythat test-taking skill also matters.
who has toiled through SAT是主語Anyone的定語從句,that test-taking skill also matters是主句testify的賓語從句,whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip是整個句子的狀語。
