2. 重复或进一步解释的内容可以略读


文章作者为了把某个问题讲解透彻,往往采用多种表达方式来重复自己的观点,或者给自己的论点加上了许多引申的内容。这里的“多种表达方式”可能是使用冒号或that is, namely来进一步阐释。基于考试的角度,我们完全没有必要去欣赏文章作者的文采飞扬,不同表达手法的构思精妙,而是只读观点,理解含义。如果一句话和上文是同样一个意思,或是对上文的引申叙述,考生应大胆略读。


3 If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog(烟雾)to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐)of forests to the extinction 1 of species. (2002.1 CET6 Passage Two)


译文:如果这是一道考试题,大多数学生会将它驳斥得体无完肤,然后列举出一大堆不满:从局部的烟雾到全球气候变化,从森林砍伐到物种灭绝。


4 Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic 2 and dangerous. (2002.1 CET6 Passage Two)


译文:的确,如果人们是按照1900年(或50年代,甚至80年代)的方式生活、消费和进行生产的话,现在世界会是一个非常令人作呕的地方:又脏又臭,充满了有毒物和危险。


5 There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists —— that is to say, that there is something by virtue 3 of which man is man. (2003.12 CET6 Passage Three)


译文:关于人性的构成,人们说法不一,但有一点大家意见是一致的,即人的本质确实存在。也就是说,人之所以成为人是因为有了它。
