1998 Passage 420.As a result, California's growth rate dropped during the 1970s,to 18.5 percent—little more than two thirds the 1960s' growth figure and considerably below that of other Western states.
【译文】 因此,加利福利尼的人口增长率在70年代降到18 5%,仅略高于60年代增长率的三分之二,但大大低于西部其他各州。
【析句】 注意dropped to 18.5%意为下降到18.5%,而不是下降了18.5%(dropped by 18.5%)。two thirds the 1960's growth figure表示是60年代生长率的三分之二。
【讲词】 considerable意为“相当的”,considerably意为“相当地”。The death toll could rise considerably as more information comes in from the area hit by the earthquake.(地震灾区传来的更多信息显示,死亡人数可能会大幅上升。)
1998 Passage 521. Unlike most of the world's volcanoes, they are not always found at the boundaries of the great drifting plates that make up the earth's surface; on the contrary, many of them lie deep in the interior of a plate.
【译文】 和世界上大多数火山不同的是,它们并不总是在构成地球表面的巨大漂流板块之间的边界上出现;相反,许多热点处于板块较深的内部。
【析句】 这是一个由两个分句组成的并列句,中间由分号隔开。在前一个分句中, Unlike most of the world’s volcanoes是一个形容词短语,修饰句子的主语they。定语从句(that make up the earth’s surface)修饰the great drifting plates。第二个分句结构较简单,注意many of them是指many of the hot spots。
【讲词】 make up意为“化妆;补足;拼凑;组成;编造”等。He made up an excuse for his absence in class,which was found out.(他编了一个借口没来上课,结果被发现了。)
22. The complementary coastlines and certain geological features that seem to span the ocean are reminders of where the two continents were once joined.
【译文】 互相吻合的海岸线和某些似乎跨越海洋的地质特征会使人想到这两个大陆曾经是连在一起的。
【析句】 这个单句的主语是the complementary coastlines and certain geological features,后面跟了一个定语从句(that seem to span the ocean),从句中that充当的是主语。全句的表语名词reminders跟了一个of短语结构,其中包含一个表示地点的从句。
【讲词】 reminder的意思是“暗示;有提醒作用的人或物”。The museum serves as a reminder of the crimes committed against the people of Nanjing.(纪念馆提醒人们不要忘记南京人民所遭受的暴行。)
