   汉语偏短句,英语多长句。考研英语的完形填空、阅读理解和英译汉中充斥着大量令人望而生畏的长难句。从某种意义上来说,征服考研英语就是要征服长难句。而在英语长难句中,多种特殊的复杂结构常常又如影随形。今天,老师总结了英语长难句的特殊结构之一——并列句中的省略,帮大家轻松识别省略成分,掌握并列句中的省略结构。


  两个或两个以上、由并列连词或其他并列手段连接起来的语法结构叫做并列结构。英语有三个主要的并列连词:and, or, but;关联并列连词:both… and,either… or,not… but,not…nor,neither… nor,not only… but also;近似并列连词:as well as,as much as,rather than,more than。由以上连词连接的并列句中,往往第一个分句结构完整,后一个分句与前一个分句相同的句子成分可以省去,也可以省略连词。因此,理解并列结构中的省略句时,首先找出并列成分,并参照并列的第一个分句的句子结构和成分将其他分句补充完整。比如:
  One can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.
  很容易就可以发现上句中“and”之后的成份并不完整,完整的结构应该是“an insect never has more than six legs”,原文省略了谓语动词“has”和宾语“legs”。
  我们再来看一道考研翻译题:
  Until these issues 1 are resolved 2, a technology of behavior will continue to be rejected, and with it possibly the only way to solve our problems.
  这道题“and”之前并不复杂,我们可以翻译为“除非这些问题都解决掉,否则研究行为的技术将持续受到排斥”;对于“and”之后的部分,我们可以按如下步骤来分析。
  1、锁定并列连词——“and”。
  2、锁定连词后的中心词——这里结构较为复杂,可以先划分为“with it”“possibly”“the only way”“to solve our problems”四个部分。
  3、从结构、词性和词意三方面进行考虑,确定连词前的并列成份——首先看“with it”,这是一个介宾结构,“and”之前没有介宾结构可以和“with it”并列,所以可以排除掉;同理,“possibly”找不到和它对应的副词,也排除掉;最后还剩下两个部分,“the only way”和“to solve our problems”,我们可以发现由于“to solve our problems”是修饰“way”的,我们可以把“to solve our problems”看做是“the only way”的后置定语,这样可以把两个部分看成是一个复杂的名词短语。现在我们在“and”之前找名词——“issues”“a technology of behavior”均为名词,但是“issues”位于状语从句中,而“the only way”位于主句中,从句和主句的相同成份不能并列,所以“issues”需要排除掉。能和“the only way”并列的只有“a technology of behavior”。
  现在我们知道了“and”并列了两个名词短语“a technology of behavior”和“the only way”,既然是并列成份那么结构一定对等——“a technology of behavior”在句子当中充当主语,“the only way”同样也应当充当主语,那“the only way”的谓语动词去哪里了?我们可以很快的想到“the only way”的谓语动词和“a technology of behavior”所在句子的动词一致,被省略了。把省略的部分补充完整,“and”之后的部分应该是“with it possibly the only way to solve our problems will continue to be rejected”,翻译为“随之,很可能解决我们问题的唯一方法也将受到排斥”。(万学)
