关于意群阅读一篇拼凑总结 ---------------------------------------------------------------  英文意群介绍 一个句子可根据意思和语法结构分成若干小段,每一小段称之为一个意群。意群可以是一个词,一个词组或短语,也可以是并列句的一个分句或复合句的一个主句、从句等等,我们可用“/”来划分句子的意群。

 现将句子划分意群的一般原则归纳如下: 1.名词词组 1)冠词+名词,例:a country 2)名词+名词,例:coumrade Li 3)指示代词+名词,例:this book 4)形容词+名词,例:natural science 5)作形容词用的名词或分词+名词,例: New Year’s Day the working class

6)数词+名词,例:thirty-two note-books7)数词+数词,例:223--two hundred and twenty-three 8)不定代词+名词,例:some ink 2.介词短语,例: from now on with an effort

3.副词短语,例: day and night first of all

4.副词+介词短语,例: early in the morning far into the night 5.副词+动词,或动词+副词,例: quite understand study hard

6.一些固定的动词词组,例: to take a rest to have a meeting to get ready

7.联系动词+表语,例: be at school grow quite well

8.主语+谓语,这种句型用于简短语句时,一般划分为一个意群,例: He stands up. They are very happy. 9.主语+谓语+宾语,这种句型用于简短语句时,划分为一个意群,例: I can speak English. He gave me a book. 10.简短的名词性从句,包括主语从句、表语从句和宾语从句,例: That he will come here/is certain.(主语从句) This is/how he studies English.(表语从句) He told me/where I could find my book.(宾语从句) 11.简短的定语从句,例: This is a factory/that makes cloth. 12.简短的状语从句,状语从句可以放在句首或句末。放在句首时,从句后通常要用逗号;放在句末时,从句一般不用逗号,每个简短的状语从句分为一个意群,例: I waited/till he come back. He can’t come/because he is ill. We worked fast/so that we finish our plan.

 列举一些例子: 1. 当出现复合句时,特别是定语从句和宾语从句,若定语从句关系词或宾语从句连接词that被省略,考生常常会打乱意群,读起来不得要领。例如:

① The crafts people buy include things to decorate their homes,clothes for their children and gifts for their friends,holidays,weddings or special occasions. people buy是定语从句,限制the crafts,如果将The crafts people看作一个意群,则后面的buy include things便没法理解了。

② He must capture the horse.He knew better man than he had tried. 此例第二句中的knew后省略了that,better m an than he属于一个意群,是这个宾语从句的主语,若把he knew better放在一起读,下文就读不通了。

2. 非谓语动词-ing形式与-ed形式引起的麻烦。例如: ③ Assembly will have limited self- governing powers,British say it could be as long as 30 years before the North might be in charge of its own affairs. 这里will have不与 limited一起构成将来完成时,will have后应稍有停顿,lim ited用作形容词,作前置定语,修饰self-governing powers,它们构成一个意群,是“有限的自治权”的意思。

④ For those who prefer reading the evening newspaper offers the reader the possibility of reading the news others see and hear on TV. 本句中,reading出现两次,第一个reading是名词化的动名词,不能直接带宾语,后面应有停顿,the evening newspaper不是 reading的宾语,它属于下一个意群,是句子的主语;第二个reading是动词的-ing形式, the news是它的宾语。

3. 分不清句中词的搭配关系。例如: ⑤A few bloodhounds and threats cleared the village of all the Indian inhabitants. 此句中的of不表示所有关系,因此不与village构成一个意群,它与cleared搭配,cleared...of...是“从……清除……”的意思。

⑥The petition asked that during June,July,and August the working hours be changed from 8 to 5 with an hour off for lunch to 7 to 3:30 with a half-hour for lunch. be changed以下部分的意群容易搞错,考生正在这里兜圈子,他们的视线停留在be changed from 8to 5,于是看不懂下文了。应该说from与句中的第二个to搭配,from后的8 to 5with an hour off for lunch是一个意群。第二个to后面7 to 3:30with a half-hour for lunch是另一个意群。这样读意思就理解了:要求作息时间从原来的上午8点至下午5点,中间留一个小时吃午餐改为上午7点至下午3点30分,中间留半个小时吃午餐。

4. 分不清and所连接的成分在层次上的差别。例如: ⑦Among the factors responsible for the higher crop yields per acre are the widespread use of m achinery for power,the development of better fertilizers,the breeding of better varieties,particularly semidwarf wheat and rice and hybrid sorghum and corn,and the more efficient use of irrigation.

例句中连用了四个and,第四个and连接的部分是第一层次,在particularly...corn这部分中,第二个and连接的是第二层次,第一个与第三个and连接的是第三层次,semidwarf wheat and rice与hybrid sorghum and corn应视作两小项,不可分为四项,semidwarf既修饰wheat也修饰rice;hybrid同时修饰sorghum与corn。

5. 分不清this/these/that/those等是指示代词还是限定词。作指示代词可以代替名词单独使用,而作限定词时,它们修饰名词,不能单独使用。例如: ⑧If his savings,pension,and social security are substantial,he can engage in charitable or religious activities.But the self-reliant American finds these poor substitutes for those social and business activities which once occupied his time and energies. these是指示代词,代替上文中的 charitable or religious activities而充当 finds的宾语,poor substitutes是宾语的补语,意思是说:发现慈善、宗教活动不能取代原来从事的社交、商业活动。若把 these看作限定词,则these poor substitutes成了一个意群,语意大相径庭。

6. 英语句子中那些从逻辑上讲应该接续的成分被分隔时,如果不能确定被分割的成分,也就不能正确读懂意群。例如: ⑨ The prisoners are overcrowded, with many cells intended for one man occupied by three.

这句中的关键是要注意with短语中的分隔,即with所带的宾语m any cells与宾补occupied之间被充当后置定语的过去分词短语intended for one man隔开,其意群的划分应该是with many cells/intended for one man/occupied by three,整个句子的意思是:监狱现在过度拥挤,许多原来关一个人的单身牢房现在关三个人。
