24. The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose four-fold between 1960, but faculty 1 teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll 2.
【分析】冒号后面的句子对前面的句子进一步解释说明。冒号前的句子是一个简单句;冒号后的句子是一个由 but 连接的并列复合句,第二个分句中含有 as 引导的原因状语从句。
【译文】赞助学术研究的公众资金的增长加快了这一进程:联邦政府的研究拨款在1960年至1990年间增长了四倍,但是教授们授课的课时却因花太多时间在研究上减少了一半。
【点拨】1) grant 作动词时意为“授予,同意;承认...属实”,本句中用作名词“拨款,授予物”。2) fourfold“四倍的”。3) took toll“产生影响,造成损失”。
【临摹】六个星期的忐忑不安后,压力开始产生影响了。
25. But the key idea behind professionalisation, argues Mr. Menand, is that "the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are transmissible but not transferable."
【分 析】复合句。句子主干是 But the key idea...is that...。介词短 语 behind professionalisation 作 idea 的定语;argues Mr. Menand 是插入语;that 引导表语 从句,其中过去分词短语 needed for a particular specialization 修 饰 the knowledge and skills。
【译文】但是,莫南德先生认为,专业化背后的关键理念是“对于某一特定的专业来说,所需知识和技能可以传授,但不可以转让。”
【点拨】1)professionalisation“专业化”。2)transmissible“可传送的,可传递的,可遗传的”。3)transferable“可转移的,可转让的”,此外还有“可流通的”之意。
