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!

Be Brave: When something scares you, don’t forget: everyone else is just as scared as you are.

勇敢一点:当你害怕的时候,不要忘了,其他人也跟你一样害怕

成分的处理:

先翻主句:

Chomsky’sgrammar should show patterns of language change

乔姆斯基的语法应该显示出语言变化的模式

再将定语从句单独成句:

thatare independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it

这些模式不受语言谱系或贯穿谱系路径的影响;

whereasGreenbergian universality predicts strong co-dependencies between particulartypes of word-order

但是格林堡式的普遍性预测了特定的词序类型间紧密(strong)的依存性

另外:给同学们介绍一个表达,这是2011年阅读文章中的一句话:

the learning curve has been steep

直接翻译的话是:学习的曲线很陡峭;很晦涩;

但是这个表达的实际含义是:做什么事情不是很容易,需要花功夫,是一个经常用的表达。

例句:

For most users, the learning curve required to transform a Linux box into a “personal” computer is too steep.

试着翻译下!
