二、分隔结构

为了调整语气和增加补充信息,更主要的是为了平衡句子结构,避免头重脚轻,使语义严密,结构紧凑,而将语法关系密切的两个句子成分用其他语法成分分隔开来,这就是所谓的分隔结构(discontinuous structure),在英语表达中经常出现。考试中出现较多的是插入语、用破折号插入的新话题或补充信息。此外,还有一些句子成分(一般是定语)过长而出现后置,也可以看作是插入现象,只不过它只是句子原有成分位置的调整,没有新增信息。

1991.6 CET-4 Passage 3

The sight of Barney Clark alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. 发生在巴克·克拉克身上的奇迹——在用金属与塑料制造的泵替换下他原来那颗不健康的心脏之后,他依然活着,而且神志清醒——令新闻界、公众和众多医生都深信不疑未来已经到来。

句中两个破折号中间的内容是个插入语,起补充说明的作用,用来解释the sight of Barney Clark

又如:2001.1 CET-4 Passage 2

The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assured in high school. 在我成长为一个出类拔萃的学生的道路上,阻碍我的实际问题就是工科和文科不能像在中学时想象的那样简单地结合在一起。

注意主语the reality 与谓语部分is that …之间的分隔。第一个that引导的定语从句修饰reality,第二个that引导了表语从句。
