考研英语
今日长难句:
But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine integration: "It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century."
参考译文:
但是,皮尔森指出,那只是人机一体化的开始:“它将是一体化漫长过程的开端,最终将使人们在下个世纪末之前就能研制出完全电子化的仿真机器人。”
翻译技巧:
① 该句中 Pearson points out 是插入语,它将句子的主语 that 和谓语 is 分隔开。
② 在直接引语部分,that 引导的是以 integration 为先行词的定语从句,而介词短语 before... 为该从句的时间状语。
重点词汇:
point out 指出
point sth. at sb. 用某物对准某人
point to 提到
point sth. up 明确显示某事物,强调某事物的某方面
下期预告:
Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts.
