模块五 Unit 3 重点句型
On the other hand, many people, including some scientists, disagree and fear that if mankind interferes with nature in this way, they may be on their way to producing a real-life Frankenstein’s monster.
另一方面,包括许多科学家在内的很多人则持不同意见,他们担心如果人类用这种方式干涉自然,那就可能离制造一个现实生活中弗兰肯斯坦怪物不远了。
1)这是一个主从复合句。在主中disagree和fear 是并列谓语,fear 后带有that引导的宾语从句。而宾语从句本身又是一个复合句,句中if引导的是条件状语从句,they may be on the way to producing a real-life Frankenstein’s monster是主句。例如:
Tom thought that if he could pass the final examination, he would be able to go on a trip with his parents. 汤姆想如果他期末考试能及格,他就能和父母一起去旅游了。
2)在句中on the other hand 是固定短语,常与书中前一句的on the one hand连用,意为“一方面……另一方面”。例如:
On the one hand, I love my job as a teacher, but on the other hand, I feel I have too little time with my daughter. 一方面我喜欢教师工作,另一方面我又感到和女儿在一起的时间太少了。
3)fear在此中是动词,后跟不定式或从句。例如:
Many people fear that if we don’t protect our environment, there will be no clear water or food for human beings in the future.
许多人担心如果我们不保护环境的话,将来人类将没有干净的水喝,也没有东西吃。
