长难句历来是考研英语的难点，但长难句在考研真题中的应用很广泛，所以我们必须攻克考研英语长难句，考研英语长难句根据结构构成可以分成不同的类型，今天我们就各个击破，攻克长难句。

一、含有分隔结构的句子

分隔结构在英语表达中经常出现，它的作用主要是调整语气、补充信息以及平衡句子结构。在阅读长难句中出现较多的分隔形式是插入语。

插入语有很多不同的类型，可以是一个词，比如形容词(strange，etc)、副词(personally，honestly，fortunately，luckily，etc);可以是短语，比如形容词短语(worst still，sure enough，etc)、介词短语(of course，in short，as a matter of fact，by the way，etc)、分词短语、动词不定式(to be sure，to tell you the truth，etc);也可以是句子，比如if I may say so，if you don't mind，that is(to say)等都是非常常见的插入语。通常，去掉句中这些插入成分不会影响句子的完整性。如：I say /hear，I think /hope /

believe，you know / see，what's more，I'm afraid，do you think

/ suppose等。

如：His journey to the e-mail hell began innocently enough

when, as chairman of Computer Associates International，a

software company，he first heard how quickly his employees had

accepted their new electronic-mail system. 这是一个典型的含有多个插入语的长句。as chairman of Computer Associates
