長難句解析

10. Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the

terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to

live up to the promise of his advertisements.

【詞匯】

apart from: 除此之外;除去;撇開......來說

parliament: n. 議會，國會

term: n. 條款;術(shù)語;期限

fail to do: 未能(做)......，沒能(做)......

live up to: 達(dá)到高標(biāo)準(zhǔn);;實行;履行

【句式結(jié)構(gòu)】

①句子主干成分為：no regular advertiser dare promote a product...，其中 dare 做情態(tài)動詞;

②定于從句：that fails to live up to ...advertisements，修飾先行詞 a product;

③介詞短語做狀語：Apart from the fact...advertising，表示“除去......的事實外”;

④同位語從句：that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of

advertising，解釋說明 the fact。

【翻譯】

除去議會有 27 件法案來規(guī)范廣告的條件，沒有任何一個正式的廣告商敢于推銷一種商品卻不能兌現(xiàn)其在廣告中的承諾。

11. If its message were confined merely to information — that in itself

would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the

choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasive——advertising would be so

boring that no one would pay any attention.

【詞匯】

be confined to: 局限于;禁閉于...

subtly: adv. 隱隱約約地

persuasive: adj. 有說服力的;勸誘的

pay attention to: 注意;關(guān)注

【句式結(jié)構(gòu)】

①句子主干為：advertising would be so boring...;

②結(jié)果狀語從句：that no one would pay any attention;

③條件狀語從句：If its message were confined merely to information，以及后面并列的條件句

that...would be difficult...，其中 that 指代前面的整個句子，即，If its message were confined

merely to information。be difficult if not impossible

是個常見的搭配表達(dá)，意思是“很難做到......”。

④原因狀語從句：for even a detail...is subtly persuasive，其中 such as the choice of

the color of a shirt 作為一個插入語。

【翻譯】

如果其信息只被局限于告知一一就廣告而言，如果這不是完全不可能達(dá)到的，也是非常難做的，因為如果連一個諸如襯衫顏色的選擇這樣的細(xì)節(jié)都具有微妙的說服力，那么廣告就會非常乏味以至于沒有人會關(guān)注它。

12. The workers who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the

promotion: n. 促進(jìn)，增進(jìn)，(商品等的)推廣

foreigner: n. 外國人;外人;陌生人

Measurable: adj. 可量度的;可測量的;可預(yù)見的

【句式分析】

whose grades improve 修飾先行詞 the student;

who learns a new language 修飾先行詞 the foreigner;

who have measurable results...修飾先行詞 people;

③不定式做目的狀語：to show for their efforts。

【翻譯】
