2016考研英语长难句(四)
For Bezos to have seen a bookstore as a means to world domination at the beginning of the Internet age, when there was already a crisis of confidence in the publishing world, in a country not known for its book-crazy public, was a stroke of business genius.(中公考研)
词汇突破:
1. stroke of genius :an outstandingly brilliant and original idea 非凡的创见a stroke of business genius.(在商业上的非凡创见)
2. domination 统治,占主导地位
句子解析:这个句子的难点在于主干的识别:
句子主语是:to have seen a bookstore as a means to world domination(这是一个带完成时态的动词不定式短语)
主干就是:was a stroke of business genius.(中公考研)
其他成分:
状语:For Bezos (这里强调动词不定式动作的发出者)
状语:at the beginning of the Internetage
状语:when there was already a crisis of confidence in the publishing world,(中公考研)
状语:in a country not known for its book-crazy public
参考译文: 在互联网刚兴起的时候,在出版业已经出现信心危机的情况下,在一个并不是由于民众爱书而著名的国家里,Bezos能把书店看做是统治世界的一个手段,这真的是一个非凡的商业创见。
更进一步的翻译: 在互联网方兴未艾、出版业已现信心危机的时候,面对并不嗜书的美国受众,Bezos能够将书店看作占领世界的踏脚石,的确可以称得上是非凡的商业创见。(中公考研)
