4月20日我们认为只有人才会笑，但是研究表明猴子也会，鹦鹉也会，甚至连老鼠也会。
We usually think laughter is primarily something we do when we find something funny,but in fact most laughter is produced for social reasons–we are30times more likely to laugh if there is someone else with us than when we are on our own.（想想你会怎么出题？）思考题：The conventional wisdom is that the laughter is the product of social interaction.来看看单词：ughter笑2.conventional wisdom传统的看法参考译文：我们通常认为，笑是我们发现一些有趣的东西时主要做的事，但实际上大多数的笑声是出于社会原因。
如果有别人和我们在一起时，我们笑的可能性是我们独处时的30倍。
来看看思考题：The conventional wisdom is that the laughter is the product of social interaction.传统的观点不是这样认为的，所以这个思考题是不对的。

207今天再来两个非常经典的翻译句子，之在翻译的技巧上再次强调切分转化换词性，适当的在独立成句后加上关联词。
第一个句子:The entrance of the sciences into the circle of liberal studies also metpowerful opposition.这个句子的切分点就是：The entrance of the sciences into the circle of liberal studies这个部分中的entrance可以翻译为动词；科学（学科）进入人文学科领域（的时候），2. /also met powerful opposition.也遇到了强烈的抵制。
第二个句子：Naturally, scientific studies were opposed on the ground that they were anti-religious in their effect, the breeders of atheism, and the destroyers of faith.切分：Naturally, scientific studies were opposed /on the ground that /theywere anti-religious in their effect, the breeders of atheism, and thedestroyers of faith.其中：anti-religiousbreedersdestroyers这三个词可以转译为动词；这样句子可以这样翻译：（你们可以自己先翻译一下）很自然，科学研究受到了反对，理由是这些研究实际上反对宗教，催生无神论，破坏信仰。
昨天句子的解析：“The recovery from the Great Recession has advanced sufficiently far anddomestic spending has been sufficiently robust that an argument can be made for a rise in interest rates at this time,”Ms. Yellen said. But “heighteneduncertainness abroad”and slow inflation persuaded the committee to wait for more evidence,including continued job growth, “to bolster its confidence.”why the Fed still keepinterest rates near zero?(A) The recovery from thefinancial crisis is not as good as expected.(B) The threat of foreigncompetition threatens the job growth.(C) The Fed is still dearthof confidence in oversea market.(D) The heightened uncertainness abroad bolsters its confidence.我先不分析，你们就先看看译文吧！如果看完译文就枉然大悟那就是单词和句子的问题！！！最佳答案只能是C！国庆5天课就是要继续夯实基础！只有回归基础才能看到进步啊！这个时候急躁不得参考译文：耶伦说，“自大衰退以来，美国经济已经出现大幅复苏，国内消费也变得足够强劲，这为上调利率提供了支持”。
2017考研英语二完型填空来源及浅析Dculture. “We think it’s bad to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Pirahã, it’s quite a desirable state.”Gray likens these aspects of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle to the carefree adventures of many children in developed countries, who at some point in life are expected to put away childish th ings. But that hasn’t always been the case. According to Gary Cross’s 1990 book A Social History of Leisure Since 1600, free time in the U.S. looked quite different before the 18th and 19th centuries. Farmers—which was a fair way to describe a huge number of Americans at that time—mixed work and play in their daily lives. There were no managers or overseers, so they would switch fluidly between working, taking breaks, joining in neighborhood games, playing pranks, and spending time with family and friends. Not to mention festivals and other gatherings: France, for instance, had 84 holidays a year in 1700, and weather kept them from farming another 80 or so days a year.This all changed, writes Cross, during the Industrial Revolution, which replaced farms with factories and farmers with employees. Factory owners created a more rigidly scheduled environment that clearly divided work from play. Meanwhile, clocks—which were becoming widespread at that time—began to give life a quicker pace, and religious leaders, who traditionally endorsed most festivities, started associating leisure with sin and tried to replace rowdy festivals with sermons.As workers started moving into cities, families no longer spent their days together on the farm. Instead, men worked in factories, women stayed home or worked in factories, and children went to school, stayed home, or worked in factories too. During the workday, families became physically separated, which affected the way people entertained themselves: Adults stopped playing “childish” games and sports, and the streets were mostly wiped clean of fun, as middle- and upper-class families found working-class activities like cockfighting and dice games distasteful. Many such diversions were soon outlawed.With workers’ old outlets for play having disappeared in a haze of factory smoke, many of them turned to new, more urban ones. Bars became a refuge where tired workers drank and watched live shows with singing and dancing. If free time means beer and TV to a lot of Americans, this might be why.At times, developed societies have, for a privileged few, produced lifestyles that were nearly as play-filled as hunter-gatherers’. Throughout history, aristocrats who earned their income simply byowning land spent only a tiny portion of their time minding financial exigencies. According to Randolph Trumbach, a professor of history at Baruch College, 18th-century English aristocrats spent their days visiting friends, eating elaborate meals, hosting salons, hunting, writing letters, fishing, and going to church. They also spent a good deal of time participating in politics, without pay. Their children would learn to dance, play instruments, speak foreign languages, and read Latin. Russian nobles frequently became intellectuals, writers, and ar tists. “As a 17th-century aristocrat said, ‘We sit down to eat and rise up to play, for what is a gentleman but his pleasure?’” Trumbach says.It’s unlikely that a world without work would be abundant enough to provide everyone with such lavish lifestyles. But Gray insists that injecting any amount of additional play into people’s lives would be a good thing, because, contrary to that 17th-century aristocrat, play is about more than pleasure. Through play, Gray says, children (as well as adults) learn how to strategize, create new mental connections, express their creativity, cooperate, overcome narcissism, and get along with other people. “Male mammals typically have difficulty living in close proximity to each other,” he says, and play’s harmony-promoting properties may explain why it came to be so central to hunter-gatherer societies. While most of today’s adults may have forgotten how to play, Gray doesn’t believe it’s an unrecoverable skill: It’s not uncommon, he says, for grandparents to re-learn the concept of play after spending time with their young grandchildren.When people ponder the nature of a world without work, they often transpose present-day assumptions about labor and leisure onto a future where they might no longer apply; if automation does end up rendering a good portion of human labor unnecessary, such a society might exist on completely different terms than societies do today.So what might a work-free U.S. look like? Gray has some ideas. School, for one thing, would be very different. “I think our system of schooling would completely fall by the wayside,” says Gray. “The primary purpose of the educational system is to teach people to work. I don’t think anybody would want to put our kids through what we put our kids through now.” Instead,Gray suggests that teachers could build lessons around what students are most curious about. Or, perhaps, formal schooling would disappear altogether.Trumbach, meanwhile, wonders if schooling would become more about teaching children to be leaders, rather than workers, through subjects like philosophy and rhetoric. He also thinks that people might participate in political and public life more, like aristocrats of yore. “Ifgreater numbers of people were using their leisure to run the country, that would g ive people a sense of purpose,” says Trumbach.Social life might look a lot different too. Since the Industrial Revolution, mothers, fathers, and children have spent most of their waking hours apart. In a work-free world, people of different ages might come together again. “We would become much less isolated from each other,” Gray imagines, perhaps a little optimistically. “When a mom is having a baby, everybody in the neighborhood would want to help that mom.” Researchers have found that having close relationships is the number-one predictor of happiness, and the social connections that a work-free world might enable could well displace the aimlessness that so many futurists predict.In general, without work, Gray thinks people would be more likely to pursue their passions, get involved in the arts, and visit friends. Perhaps leisure would cease to be about unwinding after a period of hard work, and would instead become a more colorful, varied thing. “We wouldn’t have to be as self-or iented as we think we have to be now,” he says. “I believe we would become more human.”。

2014考研英语第一句BlackBerrys, it is true, still have lots of enthusiastic followers. Commuters and corporate road warriors needing to keep in touch with colleagues and clients swear by them, as well as into them and at them.词汇点拨：BlackBerrys 黑莓手机（一种手机品牌）Commuters 上下班的人（通常距离比较远的人）（通勤者）n. （远距离）上下班往返的人corporate road warriors 公司中经常出差的人swear by 信赖swear into 使用（语境理解的，没有这个固定短语，估计是作者自创的）swear at 咒骂（固定短语）主干识别：今天其实是两个句子。
第一句的主干很简单：BlackBerrys still have lots of enthusiastic followers.第二个句子的主干是：Commuters and corporate road warriors swear by them, as well as into them and at them. （them指代黑莓手机）其他成分：第一句：it is true主谓结构做插入语；同时省略了that ；it is true that...第二句：needing to keep in touch with colleagues and clients 定语修饰前面的两种人。
（这里有歧义，可能修饰两种人，也可能修饰第二种人，通过句子无法判断，考试是不会成为考点的）难点点拨：主语和谓语之间的隔离问题是句子的难点；只要注意了句子主干的把握这个句子应该比较好理解，同时单词的具体含义是需要在语境中理解的。
2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（7）长难句是考研英语阅读和翻译的难点，攻克它是必要条件，但同样也是一件不容易的事，对于长难句的理解和把握还需要一点点积累，多研究如何拆分，如何再组合理解，凯程网考研频道分享每一句长难句的解读翻译，取材自理念真题，希望大家能够在余下不多的时间里日积月累，逐步提升。
2017考研英语阅读长难句解析每日一句（7）Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’marketing, andmay help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.译文：展示其他营销者的产品信息除了可以带来收入，也能使该网站看起来公正客观，并使企业有机会得到宝贵信息，了解其他公司市场营销方式的吸引力，还有可能增加所有相关企业的用户流量。
分析:本句的难点是主干中并列的谓语和宾语多，容易在分析时出现混乱。
句首的介词短语Besides generating income是句子的状语，全句的主语为the presence of other marketers，后面接三个并列的谓语部分。
第一个谓语部分的动词为makes，宾语为the site，宾语补足语seem objective用于说明the site的特征，即“看起来公正客观”;第二个谓语部分的动词为gives，后面跟了双宾语结构，companies 是间接宾语，opportunities是直接宾语，动词不定式是直接宾语的后置定语，解释opportunities的内容。
