22. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. 【分析】复合句。主句主干为 Washington overcame the strong opposition。 who 引导的非限定性定语从句修饰 Washington,其中 that 引导的从句作 believe 的宾语,after...the Revolutionary War 为时间状语。句尾的不定式 to grant... 结构作 overcame 的目的状语。
【译文】在独立战争期间,华盛顿目睹了黑人士兵的英勇,他开始相信人人生而平等。于是他不顾亲友的强烈反对,把赋予奴隶自由的决定写进了遗书。
【点拨】1) overcome 意为“战胜,克服”,常用的搭配有:overcome difficulty/adversity 战胜困难/困境;overcome dread 克服恐惧;overcome troubles 踏平坎坷。2) grant sb. sth.意为“授予某人某物”。
23. Your outline should smoothly conduct you from one point to the next, but do not permit it to railroad you.
【分析】并列句。but 连接两个转折关系的并列分句,第二个分句为祈使句。
【译文】你的写作提纲应该指引你从一个点自然过渡到下一个点,但却不束缚你的思路。
【点拨】1)conduct 可作名词和动词,有“管理;指导;实施;进行;指挥;引路”等含义,句中该词为动词,意为“指导,指引”。2)railroad 作名词的情况比较常见,意为“铁路,铁路公司”;句中该词为动词,意为“强迫”。 |
