導讀

說到SAT閱讀，不少剛開始備考的同學們的最直觀感受就是：時間緊、句子讀不懂。今天，我們就分享一個SAT長難句閱讀過程中的注意要點：做減法。

如何做減法

1）次要語法結構

eg:各種從句，做定語的分詞結構，同位語等。

如下面這個OG歷史中曾出現過的句子：

I believe the social changes which bring nearer to the same level the father and son, the master and servant, the superiors and inferiors generally speaking, will raise woman and make her more and more the equal of man.

句子比較長，但一旦我們把which所引導的從句先挑出來做減法，句子剩下的主要語法結構連在一起：

I believe the social changes （which bring nearer to the same level the father and son, the master and servant, the superiors and inferiors generally speaking,）will raise woman and make her more and more the equal of man.

即：一些（...）的社會改變會提高女性地位、讓女性與男性之間越來越平等。

這樣一來，整個句子閱讀起來就會清爽很多。>>對SAT閱讀有疑問？點擊咨詢

2）次要邏輯

看個例句（同樣也節(jié)選自OG歷史文章）：

In speaking of masculine element, I do not wish to be understood to say that all men are hard, selfish, and brutal, for many of the most beautiful spirits the world has known have been clothed with manhood; but I refer to those characteristics, though often marked in woman, that distinguish what is called the stronger sex.

句子很長，我們是不是該一個詞一個詞地慢慢品讀？顯然，對于閱讀理解本身就比較吃力的同學，考試時間不允許。大家不妨試著挑出這句話的主要邏輯結構NOT...BUT...，再減去次要邏輯FOR（因為）和THOUGH（雖然）

In speaking of (when I speak of/talk about) masculine element, I do not wish to be understood to say that all men are hard, selfish, and brutal, （次要邏輯for many of the most beautiful spirits the world has known have been clothed with manhood）; but I refer to those characteristics, （次要邏輯though often marked in woman,) (次要語法結構-從句that distinguish what is called the stronger sex.)

這樣一來，把做減法后剩下的主要邏輯結構：not ...but...連在一起讀，就不難發(fā)現：

作者不是要說所有男性的不好（自私殘忍），而是要說一些（男性的）特點的不好。
