1The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes.

主干主语:The boy;谓语:is convinced;宾语:that 引导的从句

结构主句为系表结构 be convinced,后接 that 宾语从句。从句内部是 if 条件状语从句 + 主句 he can explore...。as many...as he likes 为比较结构,修饰 career paths。convinced 后不接不定式而接 that 从句,表示“确信某事实”。

译文这个男孩深信,只要读得够多,他就能随心探索任意多条职业道路。

考点be convinced that... 表示确信某事,that 不可省 · as many + 复数名词 + as 表示“和……一样多”

2He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a “no reading policy” at the dinner table.

主干主语:He;谓语:reads;结果状语:so...that...

结构so + 副词 + that 引导结果状语从句。主句强调程度 passionately,从句说明后果:父母不得不制定餐桌禁读规定。institute 此处为及物动词“制定、设立”,policy 后介词短语 at the dinner table 作地点状语。

译文他读得太投入,父母只好规定吃饭时不许看书。

考点so + adv. + that 表结果,区别于 so that 表目的 · institute a policy 为“制定政策”的固定搭配

3That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet – not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet.

主干并列主语:That boy / he;谓语:was / hasn’t stopped;宾语:reading

结构and 连接两个并列分句。第二分句用现在完成时否定 + yet,破折号后 not even after... 为补充状语,after 后接动名词 becoming,逻辑主语仍是 he。one of the most + 形容词最高级 + 复数名词 为常见最高级结构。

译文那个男孩就是比尔·盖茨,时至今日他仍未停止阅读——即便已成为地球上最成功的人之一。

考点stop doing 表示停止正在做的事,与 stop to do 不同 · not even after + doing 强调“即便在……之后仍不”

4Nowadays, his reading material has changed from science fiction and reference books: recently, he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year.

主干主语:his reading material / he;谓语:has changed / revealed;宾语:that 从句

结构冒号连接前后两句,后句解释前句的“变化”。前句现在完成时 has changed from A,语义上常接 to B,原文未写出 to,属省略。后句 revealed that 接宾语从句,at least 修饰数量,a year 作频度状语。

译文如今,他的读物已不再是科幻和工具书:他最近透露,自己每年至少读五十本非虚构作品。

考点change from 常与 to 连用,此处 to 被冒号后内容隐含 · reveal that 后接完整陈述句作宾语从句
