雅思阅读长难句精讲：状语从句(27)

## 雅思阅读长难句 ## Geniuses, however they are defined, are but the peaks which stand out through the mist of history and are visible to the particular observer from his or her particular vantage point. ## 雅思阅读长难句专家解析 ## ### 【难点】 这个句子的难点在于有两个并列的谓语部分，分别是are but the peaks和are visible to the particular observer。句子难点在于句子主语和第一个谓语部分之间有个however引导的状语从句，即they are defined，第二个谓语中又有一个定语从句，也就是which后面的内容。 ### 【子句拆分】 主句：Geniuses are but the peaks. 状语从句：They are defined. 定语从句：Geniuses stand out through the mist of history and are visible to the particular observer from his or her particular vantage point. ### 【成分划分】 主句：Geniuses [主语] are [系动词] but the peaks. [表语] 翻译：天才只是一些巅峰人物。 连接词：HOWEVER 状语从句：They [主语] are defined. [谓语] 翻译：他们被定义。 连接词：WHICH 定语从句：Geniuses [主语] stand out [谓语] through the mist of history [状语] and [连接词] are [系动词] visible [表语] to the particular observer [状语] from his or her particular vantage point. [状语] 翻译：天才透过朦胧的历史凸现出来，而且天才需要特别的观察者从特别有利的方面去观察才能显现出来。 ### 【全句翻译】 无论他们被如何定义，天才只是一些透过朦胧历史凸现出来的巅峰人物，而且天才需要特别的观察者从特别有利的方面去观察才能显现出来。 ## 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. ### 定语从句 在主从复合句中，对名词（或者整个句子）限定修饰，起定语作用的句子，就是定语从句。 ① They rushed over to help the man <u>whose car had broken down</u>. ② The school <u>that he once studied in</u> is very famous.
