考研英語語法重難點精解 冠詞
一、單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞
單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前必須加冠詞,a(an)表示泛指或類指,the表示特指或類指。
例句: Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. (選自2008年Text 4)
分析: 該句是復合句,其中主句是Washington overcame the strong opposition..., who引導的非限制性定語從句修飾Washington,該句中又有一個that引導的從句作believe的賓語。
譯文: 在美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭期間目睹了黑人士兵的勇敢之后,華盛頓才開始認為人生來平等。他克服了親人的強烈反對,在遺囑中給自己的奴隸們自由。
例句: While the quality of legal journalism varies greatly, there is an undue reliance amongst many journalists on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers. (選自2007年Part C)

譯文: 雖然法律報道的質(zhì)量各不相同,但是許多新聞記者都過分依賴律師提供給他們的解釋。
二、定冠詞the的用法
在下述幾種情況下須用定冠詞the:表示世界上獨一無二的名詞,用在可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)或某些形容詞前代表一類人或事物,用在形容詞、副詞最高級和序數(shù)詞和only之前。樂器名稱前要加定冠詞the。
如:
the sun the moon the universe the camel
the blind the largest island the only student the piano
例句: The universe works in a way so far removed from what common sense would allow that words of any kind must necessarily be inadequate to explain it. (1998年第19題)
分析: 該句是復合句,what common sense would allow...作介詞from的賓語從句,該句中還包含一個so...that...從句。
譯文: 宇宙運行的方式與常識所允許的構思相距甚遠,因此任何一種語言也必然不足以把它解釋清楚。
例句: But somewhere from the 19th century onward, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, as we went from Wordsworth?s daffodils to Baudelaire?s flowers of evil. (選自2006年Text 4)
分析: 該句是復合句,主干結(jié)構是more artists began seeing happiness as..., 而as we went from Wordsworth?s daffodils to Baudelaire?s flowers of evil是一個狀語從句。
譯文: 但是從19世紀的某個時候開始,當我們從華茲華斯的《水仙花》轉(zhuǎn)向波德萊爾的《惡之花》時,越來越多的藝術家開始把快樂看做是毫無意義的、虛假的甚至是令人厭倦的東西。
