Analyze the difficult sentences

1. Most of today’s robots are employed in the automotive industry, where they are programmed to take over such jobs as welding and spray painting automobile and truck bodies. (p2)

翻譯：今天大多數(shù)機(jī)器人用于汽車工業(yè)，它們按照編好的程序接任了汽車和卡車車身的焊接和噴漆這一類的工作。

分析：該句的考點(diǎn)是where引導(dǎo)的非限定性定語從句，修飾in the automotive industry。另外請注意幾個(gè)詞的用法：employ: v 雇傭，使用，相當(dāng)于use; program: v 編寫程序；take over: 接管、接收、接任，如：Do you want me to take over the driving if you are tired?
such...as例如，welding and spray painting是動(dòng)名詞，做賓語。

2. Robots, already taking over human tasks in the automotive field, are beginning to be seen , although to a lesser degree, in other industries as well. (p3)
翻譯：除了在汽車生產(chǎn)領(lǐng)域替代人工勞動(dòng)外，機(jī)器人也開始在別的工業(yè)部門應(yīng)用，雖然應(yīng)用程度低一些。

分析：該句考點(diǎn)如下：already taking over human tasks in the automotive field是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做定語；to be seen不定式的被動(dòng)概念；although to a lesser degree讓步狀語，to a lesser degree是表示：在更小的程度上，反義詞：to a larger degree.

3. The robots used in nuclear pants handle the radioactive materials, preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation. (p3)

翻譯：核電站里使用機(jī)器人處理輻射材料，避免人員接觸放射性物質(zhì)。

分析：主語：The robots；謂語：handle；賓語：the radioactive materials；used in nuclear pants handle the radioactive materials是過去分詞短語做定語；preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做伴隨狀語。being exposed to動(dòng)名詞被動(dòng)語態(tài)；prevent sb from doing 阻止某人做某事。

4. Robots differ form automatic machines in that after completion of one specific task, they can be reprogrammed by a computer to do another one. (p4)
翻譯：機(jī)器人與自動(dòng)化裝置的區(qū)別在于它們完成一項(xiàng)特定任務(wù)后可以由計(jì)算機(jī)重新編程去執(zhí)行另一項(xiàng)任務(wù)。

分析：該句重要考點(diǎn)：in that,相當(dāng)于because, 所引導(dǎo)從句表原因。如：

Men are different from other animals in that the former can create and use tools while the latter cannot.

5. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision as good as human vision. (p5)

翻譯：人們不知道是否有一天機(jī)器人能具有像人類一樣好的視覺。

分析：該句的主語是whether引導(dǎo)的主語從句。（有關(guān)知識請見課后補(bǔ)充語法。），it 是形式主語；as good as human vision是后置定語修飾vision;

6. Engineers working on other advances are designing and experimenting with new types of metal hands and fingers, giving robots a sense of touch. (p6)

翻譯：在其他方面努力取得進(jìn)展的工程人員正在設(shè)計(jì)和實(shí)驗(yàn)新的金屬手臂和手指，使機(jī)器人具有觸覺。

分析：請注意該句中幾個(gè)-ing的區(qū)別：working on other advances是非謂語動(dòng)詞中的現(xiàn)在分詞；are designing and experimenting是謂語動(dòng)詞的進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)；giving robots a sense of touch是非謂語動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞做結(jié)果狀語。詞組：experiment with sth實(shí)驗(yàn)。。。

7. These future robots, assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions, will have plenty of work to do. (p7)

翻譯：未來具有觸覺、視覺并能決策的機(jī)器人將可以做很多工作。

分析：主語：These future robots；謂語：will have；賓語：plenty of work to do。
assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions是過去分詞短語做定語，修飾主語，其中動(dòng)詞不定式to see and make decisions是另外一個(gè)定語，修飾the ability.

詞組：be assembled with sth = be equipped wth sth裝備有。。。；a sense of touch觸覺，同樣的短語還有：a sense of sight/hearing/smell/taste:視覺，聽覺，嗅覺，味覺；a sense of humor/direction:幽默感/方向感。make decisions做出決定；plenty of sth充足的，足夠的

8. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robotics. (p7)

翻譯：任何希望了解未來工業(yè)的人必須懂機(jī)器人。

分析：這句話是國考題目中?？嫉??？键c(diǎn)：wanting to understand the industry of the future，是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做定語，修飾anyone. 詞組：know about sth了解。。。，懂得。。。。

補(bǔ)充語法知識：名詞性從句

名詞性從句是由if, whether, that 和各種疑問詞充當(dāng)連接詞所引導(dǎo)的從句，其功同名詞一樣。

一．主語從句

主語從句是在復(fù)合句中充當(dāng)主語的從句，通常放在主句謂語動(dòng)詞之前或由形式主語it代替，而本身放在句子末尾。

1. It 作形式主語和it引導(dǎo)強(qiáng)調(diào)句的比較

It 作形式主語代替主語從句，主要是為了平衡句子結(jié)構(gòu)，主語從句的連接詞沒有變化。而it引導(dǎo)的強(qiáng)調(diào)句則是對句子某一部分進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)，無論強(qiáng)調(diào)的是什么成分，都可用連詞that。被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分指人是也可用who/whom。例如：

1).It is a pity that you didn't go to see the film.
2).It doesn't interest me whether you succeed or not.
3).It is in the morning that the murder took place.
4).It is John that broke the window.

必背

用形式主語it引導(dǎo)的主語從句相當(dāng)多，有些已形成固定的語法和譯法。常見的有：

It is said that... 據(jù)說……  It is reported that...  據(jù)報(bào)導(dǎo)……
It is well known that...  眾所周知……  It is announced that... 據(jù)宣布……
It is believed that...  人們相信……  It is thought that...  人們認(rèn)為……
It is understood that...  自不待言……  It must be pointed out that...  必須指出……
It must be admitted that...  必須承認(rèn)……

2.主語從句的語序

主語從句要求使用陳述句語序，而非一般疑問句語序。如：

What surprised me most was that the little girl could play the violin so well.
使我感到驚訝的是這個(gè)小女孩的小提琴拉得太好了。
How he was successful is still a puzzle.
他是如何成功的仍然是個(gè)謎。

3. 連接詞的選用

（1）that和what的選用

that和what都可引導(dǎo)主語從句。what除起連接作用外，還在名詞性從句中充當(dāng)某些成分，可作從句的主語、賓語或表語。而that在名詞性從句中不充當(dāng)任何成分，無詞義，只起連接詞作用。如：
What he wants is a book. 他想要的是一本書。

That light travels in straight lines is known to all. 眾所周知，光線沿直線運(yùn)行。

（2）if和whether的選用

引導(dǎo)主語從句，不能用if，只能用whether。如：

Whether we will hold a party in the open air tomorrow depends on the weather.

我們明天是否在戶外開晚會要看天氣而定。

（3）其它連接代詞和副詞的選用

根據(jù)主語從句的具體意義，正確的選擇who, which, when, where, why, how等連接詞，這些連接詞既有疑問含義，又起連接作用，同時(shí)在從句中充當(dāng)各種成分。如：

When we shall hold our sports meet is not decided. 我們何時(shí)舉行運(yùn)動(dòng)會還沒有決定。

Who broke the glass yesterday is not clear. 還不清楚昨天誰打破了玻璃。

Which car you will choose to buy makes no difference. 你決定買哪一輛車都不會有任何區(qū)別。

二．賓語從句

在復(fù)合句中用作賓語的從句叫做賓語從句。

1. 賓語從句常由that引導(dǎo)，在口語中常省略。當(dāng)主句中謂語動(dòng)詞是現(xiàn)在或?qū)頃r(shí)態(tài)時(shí)，從句中謂語動(dòng)詞不受主句中謂語動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的影響，按需要可以使用任何時(shí)態(tài)。如：

She says (that) she works from Monday to Friday. 從句是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)

She says (that) she will leave a message on his desk. 從句是一般將來時(shí)

當(dāng)主句謂語是過去時(shí)態(tài)，從句中的時(shí)態(tài)一般用表示過去的某種時(shí)態(tài)。如：

He said there were no classes yesterday afternoon. 從句是一般過去時(shí)

He said (that) he was going to take care of the baby. 從句是過去將來時(shí)

He said (that) they were having a meeting at that time. 從句是過去進(jìn)行時(shí)

當(dāng)主句謂語是過去時(shí)態(tài)，而賓語從句敘述某一客觀真理（事實(shí)）時(shí)，賓語從句的時(shí)態(tài)則用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。如：

The teacher told us(that) nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.
老師告訴我們世上無難事只怕有心人。

He said that light travels much faster than sound. 他說光傳播比聲音傳播快得多。

2. 否定轉(zhuǎn)移

1) 將think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, imagine等動(dòng)詞后面賓語從句的否定詞轉(zhuǎn)移到主句中，即主句的謂語動(dòng)詞用否定式，而從句的謂語動(dòng)詞用肯定式。

I don't think I know you.　我想我并不認(rèn)識你。

I don' t believe he will come.　我相信他不回來。

注意：若謂語動(dòng)詞為hope,賓語從句中的否定詞不能轉(zhuǎn)移。

I hope you weren't ill. 我想你沒有生病吧。

2) 將seem, appear 等后的從句的否定轉(zhuǎn)移到前面。

It doesn't seem that they know where to go.看來他們不知道往哪去。

It doesn't appear that we'll have a sunny day tomorrow. 看來我們明天不會碰上好天氣。

三．表語從句

表語從句在復(fù)合句中作表語的名詞性從句，放在系動(dòng)詞之后，一般結(jié)構(gòu)是“主語＋連系動(dòng)詞＋表語從句”。可以接表語從句的連系動(dòng)詞有be, look, remain, seem等。引導(dǎo)表語從句的that常可省略。另外，常用的還有the reason is that… 和It is because 等結(jié)構(gòu)。例如：
 
1) The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.
2) This is why we can't get the support of the people.
3) But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.
4) The reason he is late for school is that he missed the early bus.

四. 同位語從句

同位語從句就是在復(fù)合句中作名詞的同位語的名詞性從句。

1.同位語從句的功能

同位語從句對于名詞進(jìn)一步解釋，說明名詞的具體內(nèi)容，一般由that引導(dǎo)，例如：
 
1) The king's decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.
2) The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general.

2．同位語從句與定語從句的區(qū)別

(1) 定語從句中的that既代替先行詞，同時(shí)以在從句中作某個(gè)成分（主語或賓語），而同位語從句中的that是連詞，只起連接主句與從句的作用，不充當(dāng)句中任何成分。

(2) 定語從句是形容詞性的，其功能是修飾先行詞，對先行詞加以限定，描述定的性質(zhì)或特征；同位語從句是名詞性的，其功能是對名詞進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充說明。例如：

1) The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.（他告訴我的消息是湯姆明年將出國。）（第一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的從句是定語從句，that在從句中作賓語）

2)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.（湯姆將出國的消息是他講的。）（同位語從句，that在句中不作任何成分）
