2021考研英语长难句分析(81)

2026-02-11

得阅读者得天下,阅读长难句却是考生们最头疼的大魔王,今天我们来带大家看一看2018年英语二阅读中的长难句,希望大家通过不断练习来积累破解长难句的技巧,提升理解能力。

首先是text3中的一个长难句:

The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing—Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5 bn, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. 拿到这个长难句,首先先解决生词:

astonishing 惊人的;令人惊讶的

upmarket 质优价高的;高级的

grocery 食品杂货店

chain 连锁店

physical product 实体商品

解决完生词之后,我们第一步要进行断句,化长为短:此句中包含两个逗号、一个破折号和一个which引导的从句。

我们根据长度适中原则,结合句子语法结构,将句子分成以下部分:

①The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing/

②—Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5 bn,/

③but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service

④which doesn’t have any physical product at all.

第二步,我们要找到长难句中的主句和从句,分析各部分的结构。破折号前后为两个完整的句子,破折号起到解释说明的作用。破折号前面的句子为只包含一组主谓的简单句,破折号后面的句子为两个并列句,中间but为并列连词,同时后半部分包含一个which引导的定语从句,修饰WhatsApp。
