长难句
As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise. (2011 Text1)
难句分析
主句 that... seems likely to have struck some Times readers 主语 谓语 宾语 定语从句 (orchestra) that has hitherto been led by musicians like... 先行词 从属连词 谓语 宾语 本句是复合句,主句意为“那好像很可能给一些《时代》的读者……的感觉”, struck…as…原形是strike…as…,意为“使产生某种感情”;状语由as引导,意为“作为”;定语从句由从属连词that引导,用来修饰先行词orchestra,用来说明这个管弦乐队的***,其中hitherto是副词,意为“到现在为止”,其中还有of的介词短语做后置定语修饰description。其中like为介词,意为“像”。参考译文
这样描述这个迄今为止都是由像古斯塔夫和皮埃尔布列兹那样的音乐家来领导的管弦乐队的下任音乐总监,似乎至少会让一些《时代》的读者觉得这是一种牵强的称赞。
