比较结构作为长难句中的“常客”,是构成长难句的重要部分,因此想要顺利攻克长难句,就要将比较结构学懂学透。在距离考试只剩两个月的时间里,考生还是要踏实备考,学好每一个细节的知识点。下面我们来学习一下比较结构的相关内容。

一、以句学句

●For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the 80's , down-shifting in the mid-90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life——growing your own organic vegetables , and risking turning into a simpler , less materialistic lifestyle——as a personal recognition of your limitations.

【主干识别】句子的主干部分为down-shifting in the mid-90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life.

【其他成分】For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the 80's 为介词短语作状语;growing your own organic vegetables , and risking turning into a simpler为同位语;as a personal recognition of your limitations为状语。

【微观解析】for为介词,the women of my generation为名词, the women of my generation被定语从句who were urged to keep juggling through the 80's修饰。

【难点探究】not so (as) much…as 这个比较结构的理解通常为“与其说,不如说”,例如:He was not so much angry as disappointed.(与其说他愤怒,不如说他失望。)

【译文赏析】对于我这一代曾在整个80年代为生活奔波的女人们来说,90年代中期出现的归隐恬退与其说使我们寻求一种神话般的美好生活(用有机肥种植蔬菜,并且冒险去过一种更加简单和更少物质的生活方式),不如说我们清醒地认识到自身能力是有限的。

●Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly:summer homes , European travel , BMWs —— the locations , place names and name brands may change , but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago.

【词汇突破】sign 标志

summer home 避暑山庄

【主干识别】People do not seem less interested in success and its signs.

【其他成分】now than formerly 为状语;冒号后的句子summer homes ,European travel , BMWs —— the locations , place names and name brands may change , but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago 是对前面主句进行解释说明。

【微观解析】summer homes , European travel, BMWs名词词组表示列举,是松散的句子结构。“—”之后的the locations , place names and name brands may change , but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago是对summer homes , European travel , BMWs进行的解释。主句中比较对象为now和formerly;比较内容为“人们对这些事物的兴趣”;比较结果为“人们的兴趣没有减弱”;从句中比较对象为 today 和a decade or two years ago.比较内容为“人们对其需求程度”;比较结果为“现在的需求与以前的需求是一样的”。

【难点探究】出现包含否定的比较结构,且出现由标点引起的松散句子结构,但是在局部分析中句子结构还是很严密的。

【译文赏析】当然,人们现在对成功及各种标志的兴趣似乎并不亚于先前。消夏别墅、欧陆旅游、宝马车——地点、地名以及品牌或许会有变化,但这类事物在今天被人渴求的程度也似乎不会亚于一二十年前。

二、考前练手

通过前两个句子的详细学习,相信各位考生都对比较结构有了更深一步的学习和认识,请大家通过下面的句子练手,检验一下自己的学习成果吧。

Surely there is no more commanding moral imperative for people in the west than to urge each other , and their governments , to bring relief to the world's poorest.

【点拨】确定出比较的三要素是这个句子理解的难点,加上no以后就可以确定than之后的内容是最高级。

坚持做一件事情挺难,一个人越想成功,他所遭受的委屈也就会越多。要使自己的生命获得更大价值绽放更绚烂的光彩,就不能在乎委屈,不能让它们揪紧我们的心、扰乱我们的生活。要学会一笑置之,要学会超然待之,要学会转化势能。考研更是如此,不到两个月的时间,希望各位考生能坚持下来,创造奇迹!
