考研英语长难句讲解 第28期

 2. However, the typical teenage lifestyle is already filled with so much competition that it would be wise to plan activities in which there are more winners than losers, for example, publishing newsletters with many student-written book, displaying student artwork, and sponsoring book discussion clubs.

【分析】复合句。So…that引导结果状语从句；that 后的 it 为形式主语，真正的主语是不定式结构 to plan activities，其中包含一个 which 引导的定语从句修饰 activities；for example 为插入语，其后的三个动宾短语列举了三种行为，是对上文 for example 具体的解释说明。

【译文】然而，典型的青少年生活方式中已经充斥了如此之多的竞争，所有明智之举就是组织一些胜者多败者少的活动，比如：出版一些学生写的书评时讯、展览学生的艺术作品、发起读书讨论俱乐部。

【点拨】1) be filled with 意为“充满；装满”。2) sponsor 在此处用作动词，意为“发起，主办，赞助”，它还可以用作名词，意为“发起者，主办者，赞助者”。

【临摹】他说话滔滔不绝，我一句话也插不上。

3. Making friends is extremely important to teenagers, and many shy students need the security of some kind of organization with a supportive adult barely visible in the background.

【分析】并列句。and 连接两个并列分句。后一分句较长，其主干是 many shy students need the security；介词短语 of some kind of organization 作 security 的后置定语，with 复合结构作 organization 的后置定语。

【译文】交朋友对青少年来说非常重要，很多腼腆的学生都需借助某种组织使其有安全感，而成人的支持应居于隐蔽的地位。

【点拨】1) supportive 意为“支持的，支援的，赞助的”。2) visible 指“可见的，看得见的”。
