2023年高考英语真题解析阅读理解长难句分析Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of everyday object —the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.接下来进行分析解释。
长难句解析:这个句子虽然看起来长而且结构复杂,但是实际上它的结构清晰明了。
第一步:理出来句子的主次,以做到主次分明。
represented之前是主干,主干是一个主系表结构。
represented之后是次要部分。
主干的内容是:Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of everyday object —the book. 意思是:《阅读的艺术:关于书籍爱好者的艺术》颂扬的是书籍这一日常物品。
主干理解疑难点:1,英语没有专门的书名号,书籍名称、文章名称,电影名称等等需要用斜体表示出来。
当然这篇文章后面也明确提到了这是一本书(book of books关于书籍的书)。
2 celebration表示:庆祝,庆典,还可以表示颂扬。
这里意思不是庆祝书籍,而是颂扬书籍的意思。
第二步,理解句子次要的修饰部分:represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.意思是:这种颂扬体现在《阅读的艺术:关于书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书里面,书里面有来自世界各地博物馆约300件艺术作品。
二,次要部分理解疑难点:1,represent的意思很多,可以表示:代表,体现,展示。
这里represented是过去分词表示被动,意思是:对书籍的颂扬被这些艺术作品体现了出来。
2,这个句子中的here(这里)到底是哪里?实际上,here(这里)指的是这本书。
