1Even if families don’t sit down to eat together as frequently as before, millions of Britons will nonetheless have got a share this weekend of one of the nation’s great traditions: the Sunday roast.
主干主语:millions of Britons;谓语:will have got;宾语:a share of one of the nation’s great traditions
结构Even if引导让步状语从句,主句用nonetheless加强转折。have got a share of后接of短语,one of the nation’s great traditions后用冒号引出同位语the Sunday roast,补充说明传统具体内容。as frequently as before为比较结构修饰eat together。
译文即便如今家人不再像从前那样经常围坐一起吃饭,这个周末仍会有数百万英国人分享到这项伟大的民族传统:周日烤肉。
考点even if让步从句与nonetheless共现,强调“尽管……仍然” · 冒号后成分作同位语,解释traditions
2The Food Standards Authority (FSA) has __5__ a public warning about the risks of a compound called acrylamide that forms in some foods cooked __6__ high temperatures.
主干主语:The Food Standards Authority (FSA);谓语:has issued;宾语:a public warning
结构about the risks of…为介词短语修饰warning。called acrylamide为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰compound。that forms…为定语从句修饰acrylamide,其中cooked __6__ high temperatures为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰foods。
译文食品标准局已就一种名为丙烯酰胺的化合物的风险发出公开警告,该化合物会在某些高温烹制的食物中形成。
考点多重后置定语叠加:called…、that forms…、cooked…层层修饰 · issue a warning about为固定搭配
3__9__ studies have shown that acrylamide can cause neurological damage in mice, there is no __10__ evidence that it causes cancer in humans.
主干主句主语:there;谓语:is;表语:no evidence
结构Although(填空处)引导让步状语从句,从句内that acrylamide can cause…为shown的宾语从句。主句there is no evidence后接that引导的同位语从句,说明evidence的具体内容。in mice与in humans形成对比。
译文尽管已有研究表明丙烯酰胺可导致小鼠神经损伤,但并无确凿证据证明它会使人患癌。
考点although让步从句+there be主句的典型对比结构 · evidence后that从句为同位语从句而非定语从句
4__12__ the precautionary principle, it could be argued that it is __13__ to follow the FSA advice.
主干形式主语:it;谓语:could be argued;真正主语:that从句
结构According to(填空处)介词短语作状语。主句为被动it could be argued,that引导主语从句。从句内it is adj. to do为形式主语结构,真正主语为不定式to follow the FSA advice。
译文依据预防原则,可以说遵循食品标准局的建议是明智之举。
考点it could be argued that…为委婉提出观点的被动句式 · it is + adj. + to do形式主语
5__17__, the FSA says it is not telling people to cut out roast foods __18__, but to reduce their lifetime intake.
主干主语:the FSA;谓语:says;宾语:省略that的宾语从句
结构Rather(填空处)作句首副词。says后接宾语从句,从句用not…but…并列结构:not telling people to cut out… but to reduce…。altogether(填空处)修饰cut out,强调“完全戒除”。
译文相反,食品标准局表示,它并非要人们彻底告别烤肉,而是要减少一生中的摄入总量。
考点not…but…连接两个不定式,表“不是……而是……” · cut out sth altogether表示“彻底戒除”
