1、Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status. 老師,麻煩您把"in response... status"這部分的結(jié)構(gòu)給分析下吧,謝謝!
解析:children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status是從句,children是主語(yǔ),commit賓語(yǔ),in response to 狀語(yǔ)。
本句是賓語(yǔ)從句,難點(diǎn)在in response to后的翻譯,切分意群:Theories focusing on the role of society/ suggest /that children commit crimes /in response to their failure /to rise above their socioeconomic status.需要大家來(lái)意譯:
強(qiáng)調(diào)社會(huì)角色的理論認(rèn)為,孩子們犯罪是他們自己沒(méi)有成功地超越現(xiàn)有的社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)地位的(自發(fā)的,本能的)反應(yīng)行為。
2、Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements.
解析:首先我們來(lái)切分意群:Some philosophers argue / that rights exist only within a social contract, / as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements.
3、It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all。
解析:首先我們來(lái)切分意群:It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: / it invites you to think /that animals should be treated / either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or /with no consideration at all。
然后我們翻譯時(shí)要注意以下幾個(gè)部分:
1) it invites you to think that…后面是賓語(yǔ)從句。
2) animals should be treated either with..., or with.。。要么……要么……,是表示選擇的方式狀語(yǔ)。
3)the consideration后面的humans extend to other humans是定語(yǔ)。
