復(fù)雜的否定句的拆分和理解 例187

例187　I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這是典型的not...any but...結(jié)構(gòu)，表示一種雙重否定，表示只有，比如I don't know any person but the host.翻譯成我只認(rèn)識(shí)主人。主干是I have excluded him，后面加上原因狀語(yǔ)從句because，其中while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems是個(gè)插入語(yǔ)，原因狀語(yǔ)從句的主干是he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于原因狀語(yǔ)從句套上插入語(yǔ)，很經(jīng)典，里面還有not...any but...結(jié)構(gòu)，類似結(jié)構(gòu)還有noting but, nothing else than, no other than，都表示“只有”。

【核心詞匯】

exclude　排除在外

accomplishments　成就

contribute to　有助于

the solution of moral problems　道德問(wèn)題的解決

charged with　承擔(dān)

the factual aspects of those problems　那些問(wèn)題的事實(shí)性層面

【參考譯文】我把他排除在外是因?yàn)椤m然他的成就有助于道德問(wèn)題的解決，但是他只承擔(dān)了探索那些問(wèn)題事實(shí)性層面的任務(wù)。
