佳句赏析
1.Milgram told the teacher-subject to ignore the reactions of the pupil, and to administer whatever level of shock was called for, as per the rule governing the experimental situation of the moment.
参考译文:Milgram让这些扮演教师角色的试验对象不要理会学生的反应,按照控制试验条件的规则,不管电压多高都要直接施加。 语言点: as per:
①as per sth. =according to sth. 是一种非常正式的用法
The work was carried out as per your instructions. 工作正在按照您的指示进行。 ②as per usual/normal<口>像往常一样
Susan was late, as per usual. 像往常一样,苏珊迟到了。
2.A modern hard-core sociologist might even go so far as to claim that this aggressive instinct evolved as an advantageous trait, having been of survival value to our ancestors in their struggle against the hardships of life on the plains and in the caves, ultimately finding its way into our genetic make-up as a remnant of our ancient animal ways.
参考译文:典型的现代社会生物学家甚至会称这种侵略性的本能是作为一种优势特征进化而来的,当我们的祖先在岩洞中和平原上与艰苦的生活作斗争时,这种本能对他们生存起到了重要的作用。因此,这种本能最终作为远古时人类动物行为的遗留产物融入到我们的基因当中。
语言点:主句是A modern hard-core sociologist might even go so far as to claim that 引导宾语从句,having been of survival value和finding its way 相当于advantageous trait的定语,可以被替换成which has been of survival value 和which has found its way。 1) go so far as to:〈口〉to do or say sth. extreme
① The government went so far as to try to arrest opposition leaders. (1)政府甚至要逮捕反对派领袖。
② I wouldn?t go so far as to say that we agreed on the subject. 我甚至认为我们在这个问题上根本没有达成共识。 2) be of great / little value:
His research has been of little pracitical value. 他的研究没有什么实用价值。
① worth a lot of money:
The theieves took nothing of value. 小偷没拿走什么值钱的东西。 ② useful:
