编辑点评: GRE阅读考试中,很多长句难句让考生们困扰不已,本文选择了部分难句给大家稍作分析。 1.Such philosophical concerns as the mind-body problem or,moregenerally,the nature of human knowledge they believe,are basic human questions whose tentative philosophical solutions have served as the necessary foundations on which all other intellectual speculation hasrested. 他们相信,诸如灵与肉的问题,或更普遍而言,人类知识的性质等此类哲学关注,均是一些基本的人类问题,其探索性的哲学答案已构成一个必要的基础,其它所有的智力思辩均赖以建立其上。 2.The idea of an autonomous discipline called philosophy, distinct from and sitting in judgment on such pursuits as theology andscience turns out,on close examination,to be of quite recent origin. 细作审视,我们便不难发现,一种被称为 哲学 的独立学科 既有别于神学和科学诸般学科,并高高在上地对其予以评判 的思想,其渊源却是甚为近期的事。 3.But the recent discovery of detailed similarities in the skeletal structure of the flippers in all three groups undermines the attempt to explain away superficial resemblance as due to convergent evolution-the independent development of similarities between unrelated groups in response to similar environmental pressures. |
