(2) 该句共有五个谓语结构,它们的谓语动词分别为suggest,is raised,are,develop,experience等,这五个谓语结构之间的关系为: Behaviorist suggest that-clause 结构为主句; who is raised in an environment为定语从句,所修饰的先行词为child; where there are many stimuli为定语从句,所修饰的先行词为environment; which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses为定语从句,所修饰的先行词为stimuli; 在suggest的宾语从句中,主语为child,谓语为experience,宾语为greater intellectual development.
在作了如上的分析之后,我们就会对该句具有了一个较为透彻的理解,然后根据我们上面所讲述的各种翻译方法,就可以把该句翻译成汉语为:
行为主义者认为,如果儿童的成长环境里有许多刺激因素,这些因素又有利于其适当反应能力的发展,那么,儿童的智力就会发展到较高的水平。
例2. For a family of four,for example,it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home,with almost unlimited entertainment available,than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. (85年考题)
分析: (1) 该句的骨干结构为it is more … to do sth than to do sth else. 是一个比较结构,而且是在两个不定式之间进行比较。
(2) 该句中共有三个谓语结构,它们之间的关系为: it is more convenient as well as cheaper to … 为主体结构,但it是形式主语,真正的主语为第二个谓语结构: to sit comfortably at home,并与第三个谓语结构to go out in search of amusement elsewhere作比较。
(3) 句首的for a family of four作状语,表示条件。另外,还有两个介词短语作插入语: for example,with almost unlimited entertainment available,其中第二个介词短语作伴随状语,修饰to sit comfortably at home.
