2018考研英語(yǔ)長(zhǎng)難句分析每日一句(744)

字號(hào):

"Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite," these were stores "anyone could enter, regardless of class or background."
    【分析】復(fù)合句。句子主干為these were stores。介詞結(jié)構(gòu) instead of …作狀語(yǔ),其中 catering to...作 intimate shops的后置定語(yǔ);anyone could…又是省略引導(dǎo)詞的定語(yǔ)從句修飾stores。
    【譯文】與那些只滿足有品位的精英人士需求的精品店鋪不同,這些商店“無(wú)論階層背景,人人皆可踏足其間。
    【點(diǎn)撥】intimate常用意為“親密的,密切的”,本句中意為“精致的,優(yōu)雅的”。
