  GMAT长难句子句拆分

  该句一共有三个子句:

  1) 主句(第一层级):见主干结构

  2) that引导的定语从句(第二层级): that never was 这个定语从句修饰a light。

  3) what引导的宾语从句(第二层级): whatwe might consider a novelist-scientist。

  GMAT长难句知识难点

  1) 短语倒装

  to throw overreality a light that never was修饰a desire,其中throw over reality a lightthat never was是短语倒装结构。正常的语序是throw A over B,当A很长按照标准书面语言的习惯表达使用倒装结构,写成throw over B A。

  to recordexactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower修饰the desire,其中record exactly and concretely the structure and textureof a flower是短语倒装结构,正常的语序是record the structure and texture of a flower exactly andconcretely。

  2) 插入结构

  on the part of what we might consider anovelist-scientist将the desire和to分开,给我们阅读句子带来了一定的困难,但这种插入结构在标准书面语言中是很常见的表达,体现出表达的高效性。

  3) 词法与词义

  light的其中一个词义是观点(aparticular aspect or appearance presented to view),比如saw thematter in a different light。that never was指不存在的。所以 a light that never was指未存在过的观点。

  on the part of指就该方面而言。

  GMAT长难句句意点评

  对于感性与理性并存的人(兼具小说家和科学家)来说,看到花儿会有愿望给出一种从未有过的观点,这种观点是超越现实的。而该愿望会被另一种愿望突兀地代替掉,那就是详尽并具体的记录花的结构和纹理。
