考研英語:長(zhǎng)難句練習(xí)及解析
It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers.
【核心詞匯】
high-quality a. 高質(zhì)量的
criticism n.批評(píng)，批判
【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】
it作形式主語，動(dòng)詞不定式短語to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers在句中充當(dāng)實(shí)際主語。其中的'for average reader under the age of forty是動(dòng)詞不定式短語中imagine這一動(dòng)作的真正施動(dòng)者，to the point of 表示“達(dá)到……的程度”，to the point of impossibility表示“達(dá)到幾乎不可能的程度”。另外，該短語中的when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers是定語從句，用來修飾其前面表示時(shí)間概念的名詞time。
【參考譯文】
40歲以下的普通讀者難以想象，甚至不可能想象出一個(gè)在許多大城市報(bào)紙上都能找到高質(zhì)量藝術(shù)評(píng)論的時(shí)代。
