托福閱讀長難句實例

原句案例：

This “atmospheric engine,” invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partner, Thomas Newcomen, embodied revolutionary principles, but it was so slow and wasteful of fuel that it could not be employed outside the coal mines for which it had been designed.

詞匯講解：

embody /?m'b?d?/ v. 體現(xiàn)(想法﹑ 感情等)，使(想法﹑ 感情等)具體化;包括或含有某物

revolutionary /'r?v?'l???'n?ri/ adj. 革命的

employ = make use of sb/sth 使用

結(jié)構(gòu)劃分：

This “atmospheric engine,” (invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partner, Thomas Newcomen,) embodied revolutionary principles, but it was so slow and wasteful of fuel (that it could not be employed outside the coal mines) (for which it had been designed.)

深度分析：

修飾一：(invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partner, Thomas Newcomen,) ，插入語，修飾this “atmospheric engine”，大家注意這里的斷句，This “atmospheric engine” embodied revolutionary principles被隔開了，斷句很重要

中文：由Thomas Savery發(fā)明并由他的搭檔Thomas Newcomen大力改善的

修飾二：(that it could not be employed outside the coal mines) ，從句，so…that結(jié)構(gòu)

中文：不能在煤礦的以外的地方使用

修飾三：(for which it had been designed.) ，從句，修飾coal mines

中文：引擎被設(shè)計

參考翻譯：

這個由Thomas Savery發(fā)明并由他的搭檔Thomas Newcomen大力改善的“大氣引擎”體現(xiàn)了革命性的原理，但它如此慢和浪費燃料以致于不能再煤礦的以外的地方使用，盡管原來是這么設(shè)計的。
