2016考研英语阅读真题逐句拆分解析(67)
In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize,
插入语 让步状语从句
those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information.
主语 谓语 状语 宾语从句
译文:换句话说,不管两个人在记忆力方面表现出多大的先天差异,但和每个人对信息进行“编码”的能力相比,这些差异就显得没那么重要了。
分析:本句包含一个由whatever引导的让步状语从句。主句是一个被动句those differences are swamped by…,其中主语是those differences ,谓语是are swamped , 介词by之后的成份是施动者,和介词by一起构成了介宾短语,做句子的状语。由于by后面是一个句子how well each person “encodes” the information,所以这个宾语从句充当了被动句的施动者。
