復(fù)雜的賓語(yǔ)從句以及表語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例74

例74　The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話的主干是The Greeks assumed...，后面是賓語(yǔ)從句that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought，后面是非限定性定語(yǔ)從句which took root in Europe，后面是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句long before people realized how diverse languages could be。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于賓語(yǔ)從句，后面套上了非限定性定語(yǔ)從句，后面又套上狀語(yǔ)從句，是三大超級(jí)句型的層層相套，很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

the Greeks　希臘人

structure of language　語(yǔ)言的結(jié)構(gòu)

had some connection with　與……有某種聯(lián)系

the process of thought　思維的過(guò)程

took root in　根源在于

how diverse languages could be　語(yǔ)言的多樣性

【參考譯文】希臘人認(rèn)為，語(yǔ)言的結(jié)構(gòu)和思維的過(guò)程有某種聯(lián)系，這種理論在人們認(rèn)識(shí)到語(yǔ)言多樣性很久以前，已經(jīng)在歐洲根深蒂固。
