語法應用

　　考研中不一定專門考語法。主要是應用語法知識進行閱讀、完型、寫作等等。關鍵就是運用語法處理長難句。

　　例如：She ,who is her mother’s daughter ,is a girl of beauty which is envied by lily who is of ugliness which we all know.

　　剝洋蔥似的分析句子的方法和步驟：

　　1. 以句號為單元判斷這個句子中有幾個洋蔥。

　　1)看句號句子中有沒有and和or。還要看它們連接的是不是句子。如果是詞和短語那么and前后就不是獨立的洋蔥。只有當兩個句子并列的時候才是連個洋蔥。例如：I like apples and bananas.其中的apples and bananas是賓語并列。

　　再如：I am 22 and Jim is 23.這時就是兩個洋蔥。

　　2) 看句號里有沒有but.有but 也不一定就是兩個洋蔥。例如：But I am a boy.

　　3) 看句號里有沒有特殊的標點符號。

　　冒號“：”從命題的角度看如果問題出在冒號的前面，答案一般出現在冒號的后面。如果問題出在冒號的后面，答案大多數情況下出現在冒號的前面。

　　從長難句解讀角度看冒號前后是獨立的。

　　破折號“—”考研英語中破折號“—”等于冒號“：”功能是一樣的。

　　分號“;”分號前后獨立各自成為一個洋蔥。

　　2. 對每一個洋蔥分別剝皮。每一個洋蔥的第一層皮就是這個句子的核心內容。此后從第二層開始，每一層皮就表示一個語法現象。

　　3. 把每一層皮分別翻譯成中文。

　　4. 在剝皮處設問。用設問的方式把每一層皮連接在一起。這就是化整為零，再從零到整。

　　綜合運用以前所獎的語法知識。繼續講解利用剝洋蔥的方法在考研的長難句中的應用。

　　Passage I

　　The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market- oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen , striving to make profits , produce these goods and services in competition  with other businessmen; and the profit motive , operating under competitive pressures , largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American eoonomic system it is the demand of individual consumers , coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.

　　An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand , the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system .

　　The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources (private progeny) , and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual .
