句意翻译
该协会指出关于这个观点,许多严谨的研究结果给予了进一步的拓展,包括在世界范围内,男性死于***的概率高于女性四倍,在美国,男性因亲密伴侣间的***而遭逮捕和指控的可能性远远高于女性,而且全美国男性犯杀人罪的比例大概占百分之九十。
结构分析
1/ 简化结构:快速确定主句和主句中的主语、谓语和宾语成分,删除其它成分。
…/ the association noted a number/ …/简化后的句子呈现为主句,主语是the association,谓语是noted,宾语是a number;
2/现在分词短语Furthering that point作状语,修饰谓语noted/表示同时的目的;
3/现在分词短语including///作定语修饰findings,相当于which include/
4/including thatmen are…likelyto die…/are “…likely” to be arrested and charged/…and commitabout 90 percent of all homicides nationwide/
including后接一个貌似复杂的宾语从句;该宾语从句的主语只有一个,并列谓语有三个,主语是men,第一个并列谓语are … likely to die和第二个并列谓语are … likely to be arrested and charged with///是系表结构加动词不定式作补足语或可看作是复合谓语/ fourtimes (四倍) ,far(远远),都修饰more表示程度;第三个并列谓语是动宾结构commit about/// homicides //// 表示范围分别用了worldwide/ in the U/S// nationwide/
5/整体框架
Furthering ////the association noted …findings/ including that men are… more likely than … todo …/ far more likely than … to be … and commit …/
语法点津
本句理解的关键在于掌握现在分词短语作状语和定语的用法, including也可理解为介词;以及三个并列的谓语部分要区别开来。
