【今日长难句】
“The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, of patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formation of truly noble and manly character, exhibit,” wrote Smiles, “what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself”.
【词汇分析】
valuable [ˈvæljuəbl ] adj. 宝贵的
patient [ˈpeɪʃnt] adj. 有耐心的
resolute [ ˈrezəluːt] adj. 有决心的
integrity [ɪnˈteɡrəti ] n. 诚实正直
【语法点睛】
1.本句是复合句。
2.主句的主干为The examples exhibit what it is...。
3.examples共含有三个修饰成分:一是形容词valuable;二是定语从句which they furnish;三是介词短语of the power of self-help, of patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity
4.而现在分词结构issuing in the formation of truly noble and manly character,相当于非限制性定语从句(which issue in…)的省略,对前面的the power of self-help和 patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity作补充说明。
5.在宾语从句中,引导词what是accomplish的宾语
【翻译】
Smiles写道,“他们提供的宝贵事例体现了自强的力量、坚定的决心、不懈的努力以及不可动摇的正直,这些品质能帮助一个人形成真正高尚且有男子气概的品格,这些事例说明每个人都有获得成功的内在力量。”
