2017考研英语长难句分析每日一句(120)
A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked myprofessional progress promoted me to abandonmy relatively high profile career although, in themanner of a disgraced government minister, Icovered my exit by claiming "I wanted to spend moretime with my family .
译文:一次平级调动伤害了我的自尊,阻碍了我事业的发展,使我不得不放弃了自己相对高调的工作,像一个蒙受屈辱的政府部长那样,我也声称“我只不过是想多和家人待在一起”,以此来掩饰我辞职的原因。
点睛:本句的主干为A…move...promoted me to…,其中定语从句that hurt my pride and blocked myprofessional progress修饰限定move。主句之后是让步状语从句although...I covered my exit byclaiming“l wanted to spend more time with my family”,其中证the manner of a disgracedgovernment minister是插入语。lateral指“横向的”,lateral move指“横向迁移”,这里根据上下文应译为“平级调动”。high profile意为“高姿态,公开的态度,明确的立场”。
One needs to maintain a high profile in his profession.
一个人必须保持在职业上的明确的态度。
而low profile则意为“低姿态,不出头露面,不惹人注意”,类似于low key“低调”。Keep a low profile的意思就是“保持低调”。
He keeps a low profile and doesn't go after headlines.
他保持低调,不让自己成为焦点。
Be efficient while keeping a low profile!
低调做人,高效做事!
