例215 This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.
【結構分析】這句話的主語是This,后面是插入語for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage,后面是動詞refers to,后面是賓語discrimination,后面是介詞短語against those,后面是定語從句whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點是個下定義結構,refer to這種結構用于解釋讀者不清楚的概念,而且還使用了定語從句whose,很經(jīng)典。
【核心詞匯】
unaware of 還不了解
such a disadvantage 這種危害
refer to 指的是
discrimination 歧視
surnames 姓氏字母
a letter in the lower half of the alphabet 字母表后半部分
【參考譯文】對于那些還不了解這種危害的人來說,它指的是對姓氏首字母位于字母表后半部分的人的歧視。
