研英长难句翻译真题词汇详解:(20)
长难句:however,when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.重点词汇:so that,markedly
■答案■
1、长难句: 但是,当两个猴子被放在隔开但相邻的两个房间里,能够互相看见对方用石头换回来什么东西时,猴子的行为就会变得明显不同。
分析: 本句是一个复合句,开始是when引导的时间状语从句,其中包含so that 引导的目的状语从句,而observe后面又是what引导的宾语从句;最后是主句their behavior become markedly different。
2、so that是一个连接词,在英语中十分常见,可以表示目的。how do you raise your children so that they will have healthy relationships?(你怎样培养孩子,以便使他们能够建立健康的个人关系呢?) markedly意为“明显地,显著地”,其形容词形式为marked。he showed a marked lack of interest.(他表现出明显的兴趣不足。)
