钻石句型②主系表句型
The girl (主语) is (系动词) Mary (表语).
各部分扩展:
The girl in a pink hat with a book in her hand is probably Mary a kind-hearted girl of inexhaustible energy which often amazes her classmates.
注:此句的扩展同上(也是通过添加修饰成分变复杂),不再赘述。
二、句子扩展:成分替换
句子的复杂不仅体现在修饰成分繁多上,还体现在句子成分本身的复杂化上,下面就通过句子成分由简单到复杂的替换来演示句子是如何变难的。
(一)钻石句型①主谓宾句型
主语扩展:
The event amazed the world.
What happened on that day amazed the world.
To hold the Winter Olympics in China amazes the world.
Holding the Winter Olympics in China amazed the world.
That China is to hold the Winter Olympics amazes the world.
注:由此可见,充当主语的除了简单的名词(短语)、代词、数词,还可以是形式比较复杂的动词不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)、主语从句。考研翻译中明确这一点,才能打开思路,更好地划分句子成分,从而做到真正理解句意,进而很好的用汉语表达出来。
