在同学们努力考研的路上,大家在考研英语中一定会碰到一只名为“长难句”的拦路虎,绕不开也躲不掉。很多同学阅读和翻译得分低就是因为看不懂长难句,不知道怎么看长难句。
1. Only if the jobless arrive at the jobcentre with a CV register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly.(2004 Text 1)
【难句分析】
这是一个复杂句。Only if 引导的条件状语从句+部分倒装的主句
only if 引导的条件状语从句;and并列arrive at 和 start 两个动词
Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a CV register for online job search, and
从连 主语 谓语1 宾语1 状语1 状语2 并连
start looking for work
谓语2 宾语1
Only放句首+条件状语从句,主句部分倒装,正常语序为:they will be eligible for benefit;and 并列they will be eligible for benefit 和 they should report weekly rather than fortnightly 两个句子
will they be eligible for benefit and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly.
助动词主语1 谓语1 宾语1 并连 状语1 主语1 谓语2 状语2 并连 状语3
词汇点睛:CV(Curriculum Vitae) 简历
be eligible for 符合……条件
fortnightly adv. 每两周地
rather than conj. 而不是
benefit n. 救济金
译文:没有工作的人只有带着简历去就业中心进行在线求职,并开始寻找工作,才能有资格领取救济金,在此之后他们应该每周汇报一次,而非每两周。
