赵敏英语——真题长难句破解(连载二)

As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback — a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. (2007阅读理解真题)

 

🌳劈树:原句中共有五个谓语成份:“have lost”,“had”,“could go into”,“got laid off”和“fell sick”,可以将原句分为五个独立的小分句。

 

第一分句为:As a result, they have lost the parachute;

 

第二分句为:they once had in times of financial setback—a back-up earner (usually Mom);

 

第三分句为:who could go into the workforce;

 

第四分句为:if the primary earner got laid off;

 

第五分句为:or fell sick;

 

🍀造竹:第一分句为主句,第二分句为定语从句,省略了引导词,修饰名词“the parachute”,第三分句为“who”引导的定语从句,修饰名词“a back-up earner”,第四、五分句为条件状语从句并列,第五分句省略了主语“the primary earner”。

 

难词(词组)及在句中的含义:

 

parachute (起到缓冲作用的)保护伞

financial setback 财务上的退步,经济困境

back-up earner 候补挣钱人

get laid off 遭到解雇

 

第一分句:As a result, they have lost the parachute;

 

“As a result” 含义为“结果是…”;

 

“parachute”的含义为“降落伞”,在本句中,根据上下文引申为“(起到缓冲作用的)保护伞”;

 

🍁第一分句翻译为:结果是他们失去了(起到缓冲作用的)保护伞;

 

第二分句:they once had in times of financial setback—a back-up earner (usually Mom);

 

“in times of...”的含义为“在…的时期”;

 

“setback”的含义为“退步,阻碍”;

 

“financial setback”的含义为“财务上的退步,经济困境”;

 

“in times of financial setback”的含义为“在经济处于困境的时期”;

 

“back-up”的含义为“支援的,候补的”;

 

“back-up earner”的含义为“候补挣钱人”;

 

🍁第二分句翻译为:他们在经济处于困境的时期曾经拥有的——一位后补的挣钱人(通常是母亲);

 

第三分句:who could go into the workforce;

 

“the workforce”含义为“劳动力市场”;

 

“could go into the workforce”的含义为“能够进入劳动力市场”,即“能够找到工作”;

 

🍁第三分句翻译为:这位后补的挣钱人(通常是母亲)能够进入劳动力市场(或:能够找到工作);

 

第二、第三分句作为定语从句,翻译时注意它们在全句中的位置,我们依据“短则前置,长则独立”的原则灵活处理。

 

第四分句:if the primary earner got laid off;

 

“primary”的含义为“主要的”;

 

“get laid off” 的含义为“遭到解雇”;

 

🍁第四分句翻译为:如果(家庭)主要挣钱人(经济支柱)遭到解雇;

 

第五分句:or fell sick;

 

“fell sick”的含义为“病倒,生病”;

 

🍁第五分句翻译为:或病倒;

 

第四、五分句合译为“如果(家庭)主要挣钱人(经济支柱)遭到解雇或病倒”;
