课文难句讲解、分析
1. A decision is a choice made from amongalternativecourses of action that are available.(p1)
译:决策就是从几种可以选择的做法中作出选择。
分析:该句是主系表结构。made from among alternative coursesofaction that are available是过去分词短语做定语修饰a choice; 其中that are available是定语从句修饰courses of action.
像这样一环修饰一环的句子结构在英文中很普遍,因此为了看懂句子大家必须学会分析。这是整个英语学习过程中很重要的能力!
2. The reason for making a decision is that aproblemexists, goals or objectives are wrong, or something is standing in theway ofaccomplishing them. (p1)
译:做出决策的原因是因为存在问题,目标或目的有错误,或者有某种东西防碍着它们的实现。
分析:该句又是主系表结构。That引导三个并列的表语从句,①aproblemexists,②goals or objectives are wrong;③something is standing in the way of accomplishing them。 短语:make a decision:做出决策;stand in the way: 阻挡、防碍
3.Often managers must make a best guess at what thefuture will be and try toleave as little as possible to chance, but sinceuncertainty is always there,risk accompanies decisions. (p2)
译:通常管理者必须对未来的情况做出最佳预测,从而使偶然性尽可能少地发生,但因为不确定性总是存在,所以决策常伴随着风险。
分析:前半句是主谓宾结构。what the future will be是at的宾语;as little as possible做leave的宾语;since引导原因状语从句,相当于because.
4.If there is no choice, there is no decision to be made. (p3)
译:如果没有选择,就不会有决策。
分析:这是一句很简单的条件状语从句,但它有一个很重要的考点:to be made。这是动词不定式做定语修饰decision,有将来意味。比如:The last question tobediscussed today is how to divide the work among ourselves.
5. For managers, every decision has constraintsbasedon policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like. (p3)
译:对于管理者而言,每次决策都受到政策、程序、法律以及惯例等因素制约。
分析:这句话的考点是based on policies, procedures,laws,precedents, and the like。同样是过去分词短语做定语修饰constraints。其中词组:base…on以…为基础。 如:Thefilmis based on s short story by Jack London.
6.But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives.(p4)
译:但是这种简化的倾向使得他们看不到其他可供选择的方法。
分析:该句主语the tendency to simplify,谓语blinds; them是宾语。to simplify是定语,修饰the tendency;to other alternatives是宾补。其中短语:blind sb to sth:使…看不见…;
we shouldn’t let our prejudices blind us to thefacts.
7. Because individuals (and organizations)frequentlyhave different ideas about how to attain the goals, the best choicemay dependon who makes the decision. (p6 line 4--6)
译:因为个人(和组织)关于如何达到目的常有不同的观点,哪种是最优的选择可能要看是谁做出决策。
分析:这是一个由because引导的原因状语从句。其中howtoattain the goals做介词about的宾语,whomakesthe decision做介词on的宾语。
8. Some of these objectives are more importantthanothers, but the order and degree of importance often vary from person topersonand from department to department. (p7 line 2--4)
译:其中有一些目标比其它的更重要,但其顺序和重要程度因人和不同的部门而异。
分析:请注意比较级more important than,词组:vary from person to person译成中文:因人而异,可以推出:因季节而异vary from season to season….
9.When presented with a common case, sales managers tend to seesales problems,production managers see production problems, and so on. (p7line 5--7)
译:当面对同一件日常事情时,销售经理倾向于看销售问题,而生产经理则会看生产相关的问题,等等。
