cn | 译文: 尽管这个新学说看起来几乎一定正确, 可是 这个沙草纸的残片 却引起了这样的恐惧 ,(那就是 另外一个残片可能会被挖掘出来,/显示出,比如说 ,是属于D四部曲的一个作者死后发表的遗作击败了S/,这样就 /重新把作品的年代置于极度的混乱之中/)。 |
explain | 解释: specter之后的that从句是specter的同位语。从句中有两个分词作状语,中间由and连接。其中以第一个分词结构(showing that it was a posthumous production of the Danaid tetralogy which bested Sophocles)的意思较为难懂,有两个地方要解释一下: 首先,best在这里的用法我们以前很少见到,用作及物动词,是击败后者的意思,等于defeat,overcome,或outdo。 其次,a posthumous production of the Danaid tetralogy这种说法不符合我们的常规想法。我们看到a posthumous production of的时候,根据中文的语言习惯,惯性的到of之后去找人名,但是看到后面跟着的是作品名,就想不通了。与中文不同的是,英文中的“遗作”后面不一定只能接人名,接作品名的时候指的是作品在作者死前未发表的那一部分。比如本文的四部曲,可能作者死前全部写好,但只发表了三部,但是死后发表的遗作第四部击败了S。 |
