Re: [請益] 托福分類字彙中的句子讀不懂
※ 引述《Qdream (Q夢)》之銘言：
: 版友好,剛才讀TOFEL分類字彙中的No.17 Railroad這篇
: 文章,有些地方不是很懂,想請高手幫忙分析,感恩!
: 1.Of all the great innovations, the railroad may
: well be the one "to" which historians have allowed
: the most dramatic and far-reaching influence.
: 不懂的地方在於"to"的用法,是跟著關代which一起解釋
: 的嗎?那這個to原本是不是在句尾,被搬到關代前面去的呢?
: 搞不懂to是怎麼跑出來的
修辭的關係, 介系詞通常都會被搬到關代前面去
原句應該是:
Of the greatest modern innovation, the railroad may well be the one which
historians have allowed to the most dramtic and far-reaching influence.

(這本我剛好有...)
: 2.The more historians have learned about the changes
: caused by the railroad, the less maniac, the more
: reasonable or at least understanable, "that initial
: mania has come to seem."
: 這個句型是the more...the more的那種句型嗎?又為何
: 會有that的出現呢?
是 the more...the more or the less...的句型
that在這裡該是當補語補充前面The more historians have learned about the
changes caused by the railroad所講到的部分, 原本該是插在 the railroad的後面,
但為了使 the more...the more...or the less 的句型完整和比較好理解的情況下被
搬到後面去! 補語就是補充說明, 表示少了它, 整個句子你還是看得懂!
再來, 你看後面中文翻譯的部分:...就會覺得一開始的狂熱似乎也沒那麼狂熱,...
這樣就很好理解了!
: 3. It was the railroad that made it feasible to ship
: goods long distance "over land".
: 我有查到overland可作為形容詞和副詞用,不過有拆開來
: 變成over land這樣說嗎? 搞不太懂
我有兩個想法:
1. over land 在這裡是跨越陸地或跨州(美國), 被當成補語形容前面的long distance
原句該是...long distance (that or which is) over land. that or which is 被
省略了, 就算沒有 that or which is 被省略, 還是不影響讀者判讀!
2. 原句應該是:
It was the railroad that made it feasible to ship long distance over land
goods. 但這樣受詞離動詞太遠, 於是把當形容詞用的long distance over land 搬到
goods的後面, 變成後位修飾...
