Difficult Sentences 难句详解
1. They quickly found the young girl to be badly injured, and it was clear that without immediate
action, she would die from loss of blood and shock. (Line 5，Para3)
译文 他们很快发现这个女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。
该句中clear 常可被其他形容词替换 如：it is obvious that, it is apparent that, it is evident that 等，例：
It is clear to us that they don't want to do that. 我们很清楚地看到他们不愿做那件事。
It was apparent that he was in no condition to travel. 他的健康状况显然不宜旅行。 It was evident that she liked him still. 很显然她还是喜欢他。
2. Using what little common language they could find, together with a lot of sign language, they tried to explain to the frightened children that unless they could give some blood to their little friend she would certainly die. (Line 16)
译文 医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。 该句的主干部分是they tried to explain… ，其中Using 加宾语从句在句中充当伴随状语，the frightened children 是句子的间接宾语，that 引导的从句为直接宾语。
3. Heng was quickly laid on a bed, his arm cleaned with alcohol, and the needle inserted into his arm. (Line 27)
2
译文 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。 注意本句中分词的独立结构：his arm cleaned with alcohol, and the needle inserted into his arm 表示伴随情况。
分词独立结构可以理解为带逻辑主语的分词结构，在句中作状语，可表示伴随情况或动作，附加说明及时间、原因、条件等。如：
But now his occasional sob turned to a steady, silent crying, his eyes held tightly shut, his fist in his mouth trying to stop his sobs. (伴随动作)
Nobody having any more to say, the meeting was closed. (原因) Weather permitting, we’ll go there on foot. (条件)
4. But now his occasional sob turned to a steady, silent crying, his eyes held tightly shut, his fist in his mouth trying to stop his sobs.
译文但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。
句中his eyes held tightly shut和his fist in his mouth trying to stop his sobs是带有自己主语的独立结构，表伴随情况。
5. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend.
译文他为了朋友甘愿献出生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。 这句话出自《圣经》（The Bible），原句为：Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend。
该句为倒装句，句中that he lay down his life for his friend是this的同位语。把宾语greater love放在句首，起强调作用。本句的正常语序为：No man has greater love than this, that he lay down his life for his friend.
