【每日一練】考研英語長難句（3.24）_跨考網(wǎng)

　　11. But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: “Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eightyfive kilograms.”

　　【譯文】 但是有一行詩看了注解才明白詩的內(nèi)容，這一點實在讓人感到有些不安。詩中描寫一名土耳其軍官和一名保加利亞軍官在一座橋上搏斗，兩人都從橋上掉進水中——這一行詩僅僅描寫了他們的落水聲和體重：“撲通!撲通!185公斤?！?/p>

　　【析句】 it是全句的形式主語，實際主語是兩個并列成分(to read…和and then to find…)。注意read的賓語是that a certain line… into the river，而in the explanatory notes作狀語。find后接一個that從句作賓語，冒號后面引號中間的成分是the line的同位語。

　　【講詞】 line除了表示“線，線條;路線;航線”等以外，還可以指“(詩)行，臺詞”。For a time he believed that he would not make a good actor as he could not deliver his lines.(有一段時間，他以為自己不會成為一個優(yōu)秀的演員，因為他記不住臺詞。)
