长难句自我检测
Though it may be difficult to imagine from a later perspective, a strain of critical opinion in the 1920 s predicted that sound film would be a technical novelty that would soon fade from sight, just as had many previous attempts, dating well back before the First World War, to link images with recorded sound.
长难句解析
分析:此句无论从句法结构还是从句意理解上,难度都很大,句法结构难理解是因为此句中蕴含了很多的句法成分,句意理解大是因为里面有好多词同学们的理解都存在偏差。此句中含有三个双逗号,我们先来分析双逗号中间的成分,第一个双逗号中间 a strain of critical opinion 是主语,predict 是谓语,that引导了宾语从句,所以第一个双逗号中间是句子,所以不能删;第二个双逗号中间是just as 引导的方式状语,所以可删;第三个双逗号中间是dating 分词形式做的attempts 的后置定语,也可以删减。而余下的部分though引导了让步状语从句可以删,to link 做了目的状语可以删,所以本句的主干是a strain of critical opinion in the 1920s predicted that sound film would be a technical novelty that would soon fade from sight 需注意的词有a strain of 是一系列的意思,novelty是名词,意思是创新,fade from sight 的意思是从视野中消失,所以翻译成20世纪20年代的一系列批判的观点认为有声电影会是一个技术上的创新,但很快会从视野中消失。
