考研英语重在基础,建议广大考生在了解考研英语大纲的前提下,首先积累英语词汇量,并通过做阅读理解、翻译、写作等练习在词义方面加以提升,然后再考虑学习掌握答题技巧。当然,我们知道英语知识的复习是一个长期积累的过程。让我们跟随何凯文老师的每日一句。所谓:不积跬步,无以至千里;不积小流,无以成江海。坚持就是胜利!阅读中的同意替换!

Galileo’s greatest glory was that in 1609 he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than around the earth.

主干识别:Galileo’s greatest glory was that (主句主干)

he was the first person to prove that (从句主干)

the planets revolve around the sun (从句主干)

其他成分:to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that (定语)

(turn …on… to prove(目的状语)…)

rather than around the earth(我们很熟悉的rather than做状语)

翻译点拨:

中文到英文,如果表语较短的时候没有必要遵守英文中的主系表结构:他是第一个人,就直接翻译为:“他第一个将……”就可以了。

he is the one who invented the telephone.

可以翻译为:他发明了电话 = 他是发明电话的那个人。

参考译文:伽利略最大的辉煌就是在1609年的时候,他第一个将新发明的望远镜对准了天空,去证明了行星是围绕着太阳而不是地球转动的。

附上一个句子明天说答案大家试着翻译一下:

Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
