復(fù)雜的并列句的拆分和理解 例234

例234　Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】該句子的主干是and連接的兩個(gè)分句：all tend to be drawn up, and their recipients lose interest，冒號(hào)前的三個(gè)名詞短語是第一個(gè)分句主語all的同位語。As引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句，修飾第二個(gè)分句。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于三個(gè)名詞短語的并列很閃光，而且冒號(hào)的后面的句子很簡(jiǎn)潔，但是用了專業(yè)的短語plough through，表示“費(fèi)勁看”。

【核心詞匯】

shortlists for job interviews　求職面試

election ballot papers　選舉投票

lists of conference speakers and attendees　會(huì)議發(fā)言或參加會(huì)議名單

drawn up alphabetically　按字母表順序排序

recipients　接待者

lose interest　喪失興趣

plough through　費(fèi)勁看

【參考譯文】求職面試、選舉投票、會(huì)議發(fā)言或參加會(huì)議等諸多名單，也是按字母表順序排序，當(dāng)人們費(fèi)勁地向下查看時(shí)，興趣隨之失去。
