## 雅思阅读长难句 ## Role ambiguity results when there is some uncertainty in the minds, either of the focal person or of the members of his role set, as to precisely what his role is at any given time. ## 雅思阅读长难句专家解析 ## ### 【难点】 这个句子一开始就给出了主干，即Role ambiguity results。难点在于后面的状语从句的结构比较零散，要能够判断出uncertainty后面应该是of the focal person or of the members of his role set，这两个部分是一个整体。最后面的as to precisely是个状语。 ### 【子句拆分】 主句：Role ambiguity results. 状语从句：There is some uncertainty in the minds, either of the focal person or of the members of his role set, as to precisely something. 宾语从句：What his role is at any given time. ### 【成分划分】 主句：Role ambiguity [主语] results. [谓语] 翻译：角色不明发生。 连接词：WHEN 状语从句：There [表语] is [系动词] some uncertainty [主语] in the minds, [状语] either [连接词] of the focal person [定语] or [连接词] of the members of his role set, [定语] as to precisely something. [状语] 翻译：头脑中对一些焦点人物或者其背景人物（准确的说是关于某事）有些模棱两可。 连接词：WHAT 宾语从句：What [表语] his role [主语] is [系动词] at any given time. [状语] 翻译：在任一时刻他处于何种角色。 ### 【全句翻译】 当头脑中对一些焦点人物或者其背景人物（准确的说是对任一时刻他所处的角色）有些模棱两可的时候，就会导致角色不明。 ## 雅思阅读长难句知识点梳理 ## ### 状语从句 在主从复合句中，在句中作状语、起副词作用的句子，可以修饰谓语、非谓语动词、定语、状语或整个句子。 ① Sometimes we teach our children <u>the way our parents have taught us</u>. ② <u>No matter how hard he tried,</u> she could not change her mind. ### 宾语从句 在主从复合句中充当宾语的句子是宾语从句。 ① He told us <u>that they would help us through the whole work</u>. ② We are talking about <u>whether we admit students into our club</u>.
