医学英语难句剖析2022-01-24
No.37Just how much exercise a person of a given age can safely take is a question hard to answer. Individual variability is too great to permit of generalization.
词汇注释- variability 美 [veriəˈbɪləti]
n. 可变性,反复不定
- generalization 美 [gʒenrələˈzeɪʃn]
n. 一般化,概况,归纳
语法注释Just how much exercise a person of a given age can safely take 是由how引导的主语从句,can take 是谓语,how much exercise 是宾语。 to answer 是动词不定式短语,修饰 hard。to permit of generalization 动词不定式短语作结果状语
参考译文一个一定年龄的人到底做多少运动才是安全的?这是一个难以回答的问题。个人的变易性太大,不能一概而论。
NO.38It has been demonstrated experimentally that the epidemic common cold is caused by a filterable virus. The influenza virus may cause symptoms quite indistinguishable from a common cold. This leads to the suggestion that commom cold is a symptomatic response of the respiratory tract to the virus and not a clinical or etiologic entity
词汇注释- filterable virus 美 [fɪltərəbl ˈvaɪrəs]
n. 过滤性病毒
- indistinguishable 美 [ɪndɪˈstɪŋɡwɪʃəbl]
adj. 无法区分的,无法识别的
n. 实体
语法注释:that the epidemic common cold is caused by a filterable virus从属连词that引导的主语从句作主语,has been demonstrated 是谓语。 that commom cold is a symptomatic response 是that 引导的同位于从句,to the virus 作定语。
参考译文实验曾经证明流行的普通感冒是由滤过性病毒引起的。流感病毒可引起与普通感冒很难区别的症状,这就使人们认为普通感冒是呼吸道对病毒的一种症状性反应,而不是临床上或病原学上的独立疾病。
