2. 较多句式变化
英文句式形态,可以整体分别一般句式和特殊句式。特殊句式中大体包括三类——省略
句、倒装句和强调句。在特殊句式中,如果出现类别叠加,就会增大句式难度,例如省
略句和倒装句同时出现。例如:
Could Achilles help us were he here now?
这句话当中既有疑问句的倒装,还有虚拟语气的倒装和省略。如果变成陈述句的完整句,
如下:
Achilles could help us if he were here now.
下面,结合GRE阅读中的一个长难句,大家可以试试识别较多句式变化的能力。
These points may seem obvious, but had Martin given them more attention,
his analysis might have constituted a more convincing rebuttal to those
critics who dismiss Douglass’s ideology as a relic of the past.
很明显,英文划线部分一个就是倒装加省略的一个虚拟语气从句,正常语序是“ Martin
had given them more attention ”.
所以,常见的虚拟语气的倒装和省略,要掌握到清晰准确的程度上,就可以对于较多句
式变化的句子解析清楚。如下三个例句供参考:
1. Achilles could help us were he here now.
= Achilles could help us if he were here now.
2. Athena would have met Hermes had she come earlier.
= If you had come earlier, you would have met him.
3. Should Thetis ask, Hephaestus would no doubt lend a hand.
= If Thetis should ask, Hephaestus would no doubt lend a hand.
