▍ 核心句型解析
1. be named after (以...命名 / 得名于)
句型:
解析:原文“青海省得名于……”,固定搭配
句型:
A is named after B解析:原文“青海省得名于……”,固定搭配
be named after 是四六级高频考点,后接“全国最大的咸水湖”作为青海湖的同位语,译为 the largest saltwater lake in the country,句式紧凑。 2. 过去分词作状语 (Past Participle as Adverbial)
句型:
解析:这篇文章中多次出现需要用过去分词作状语的结构。“被誉为……”译为
句型:
Hailed as..., Subject + Verb / Driven by..., Subject + Verb解析:这篇文章中多次出现需要用过去分词作状语的结构。“被誉为……”译为
Hailed as...;“在……带动下”译为 Driven by...。将这些被动动作前置作状语,突出主句的主语,是英语高分作文的标准写法。 3. boast的拟人化用法 (拥有/以...为傲)
句型:
解析:原文“青海山川壮丽,地大物博...”,如果拆分成几个简单句会显得很啰嗦。使用
句型:
Place + boasts + Noun解析:原文“青海山川壮丽,地大物博...”,如果拆分成几个简单句会显得很啰嗦。使用
boasts 作为主句谓语,后面跟上三个并列的名词短语,化繁为简,气势非凡。 4. 现在分词作结果/伴随状语 (Present Participle as Adverbial)
句型:
解析:原文“(青海)在中国的水生态中发挥着重要作用”,这其实是作为三大河流发源地所带来的自然结果。因此句末使用现在分词短语
句型:
..., playing an important role in...解析:原文“(青海)在中国的水生态中发挥着重要作用”,这其实是作为三大河流发源地所带来的自然结果。因此句末使用现在分词短语
