何凯文每日一句:2019考研英语第210句

The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angry critics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life.

1. From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained ________.

[A] secretly and vigorously

[B] openly and enthusiastically

[C] easily and momentarily

[D] verbally and spiritually

今天题目的解析:

1. The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive.

对雄心壮志攻击有很多,而且来自各个角度;公开支持雄心壮志的人不多而且影响也不大,但是他们也不是完全没有影响。

where的用法: (用于引导从句进行对比)然而

(You use where to introduce a clause that contrasts with the other parts of the sentence.)

例句: Where some people learned to play the accordion for dances in their community, others took music lessons.

一些人学习弹手风琴,为他们社区里的舞蹈表演进行伴奏,而其他人则上音乐课。

2. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States.

确定主干:the support is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States

切分和独立成句:

1.ambition as a healthy impulse,

= ambition is a healthy impulse

雄心壮志本是一种健康的冲动

2. a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young

= ambition is a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young

是一种应该被认可的并且扎根在年轻人大脑里的一种品质

最后的结果就是,雄心壮志本是一种健康的冲动,是一种应该被认可并且扎根在年轻人大脑里的一种品质。但是在美国,对于雄心壮志的支持和过去相比已经少了很多。

(我都为我自己的翻译点赞!我看过很多这个句子的翻译,我固执的认为我至少是说的最清楚的。)

3. This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed.

这并不意味着雄心壮志就无路可走了,也不意味着人们再有感受不到它对于人内心的触动和激励了。只不过,人们现在不在公开的认同雄心壮志了,更不会公开地表达对雄心壮志的支持了。

4. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly.

当然,这样的一样的结果就是,(人们)在私底下或者是偷偷地追逐着雄心壮志了。

5. Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angry critics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life.

现在情况就是这样的:左边是愤怒的批评者,右边是”愚蠢”的支持者,和往常一样,中间是大多数的努力生活的人。

1. From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained ________.

注意题干中的should (应该),言下之意就是现在人们没有做的。

也就是和现在人们做的是相反的!

4. Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly.

当然,这样的一样的结果就是,(人们)在私底下或者是偷偷地追逐着雄心壮志了。

现在的人们是偷偷地!所以答案就要寻找公开的!所以答案就是B!你选对了吗!
