托福閱讀長難句:深海底部環(huán)境
Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface,the deepocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans,in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.
(定語后置in some ways…)
【譯句】由于完全沒有光,而且承受著比在地球表面大數(shù)百倍的極大壓力,深海底部對人類而言是一個充滿敵意的環(huán)境,在某些方面就像外層空間一樣險惡和遙遠。
分句1:Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures
分句2:hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface
分句3:the deepocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans
分句4:in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
分句2修飾分句1結(jié)尾的短語intense pressures,
分句1是分句3的狀語
分句3是整個長句子的主句
分句4是分句3的后置定語,修飾分句3的a hostile environment to humans
主句前后分別有狀語和定語的修飾成分,但是本句其實不是復(fù)合句。句子的核心意思是深海對于人類而言是一個充滿敵意的環(huán)境。
