復(fù)雜的否定句的拆分和理解 例188

例188　Rather, we have a certain conception of the American citizen, a character who is incomplete if he cannot competently access how his livelihood and happiness are affected by things outside of himself.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】主干是we have a certain conception of the American citizen，同位語(yǔ)是a character，后面是定語(yǔ)從句who is incomplete，后面加上狀語(yǔ)從句if he cannot competently access...，后面加上賓語(yǔ)從句how his livelihood and happiness are affected by things outside of himself。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于：第一，三種從句連環(huán)相套，既定語(yǔ)從句套狀語(yǔ)從句，狀語(yǔ)從句套上賓語(yǔ)從句；第二，雙重否定很經(jīng)典，有氣勢(shì)。

【核心詞匯】

a certain conception of the American citizen　具有的是作為美國(guó)公民的某種觀念

character　公民人物

incomplete　不完整的

competently　很恰當(dāng)?shù)?

access　認(rèn)識(shí)到

livelihood and happiness　生存和幸福

【參考譯文】我們更應(yīng)該具有的是作為美國(guó)公民的某種觀念，這個(gè)公民人物如果不能很恰當(dāng)?shù)卣J(rèn)識(shí)到自己的生存和幸福是如何受到自身之外的事物的影響，那么其公民特征就是不完整的。
