??? 不定式短語在句中分析與翻譯的實例

??? 1.You will remember that the materials which combine to make a mixture do not completely lose their individual qualities．They do not do so because their molecules are not broken up and built into new molecules with new qualities．

??? 你們要記住，組成混合物的各種物質(zhì)完全沒有失去它們各自的性質(zhì)。它們之所以這樣，是因為它們的分子并沒有分解，沒有形成具有新性質(zhì)的新分子。(不定式短語to make a mixture是謂語combine的結(jié)果狀語。)

?? ?2．The moon's pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at the point closest to the? moon and also at a point farthest from themoon，on the oppositeside of the earth．

??? 月球的引力會引起近月點處和地球另一端的遠月點處海洋的海水略深一些。(cause sth．To do sb，“引起……作……”。to be alittle deeper．．．作water賓語補足語。)

　　3．? It is also a familiar fact that a force is required to slow down or stop a body which is already in motion，and that a sidewise force must be exerted on a moving body to deviate it from a straight line．

??? 要使一個已經(jīng)運動的物體慢下來或使其停止運動就需要作用力；要使該物體偏離直線運動，就需要橫向作用力，這也是大家所熟悉的事實。(it是形式主語，代替that引出的兩個主語從句。不定式短語to deviate．．．1ine是目的狀語，其中it代替the moving body。)

　　4．Though only l07 elements have been discovered，they combine in enough different ways to make the millions and millions of different things in the world．

??? 雖然只發(fā)現(xiàn)了107種元素，但是這些元素以不同的方式化合在一起就會形成世界上無數(shù)的千差萬別的東西。(不定式短語to make．．．作結(jié)果狀語，說明enough。)

　　5．Since we have already associated flow of charge or current with the existence of potential difference，it becomes of interest and importance to establish a quantitative relation between these two quantities．

??? 因為我們已經(jīng)把電荷的流動即電流與電位差的存在聯(lián)系起來，因而在這兩個量之間確立一種數(shù)量關系就成為重要而值得注意的問題了。(不定式短語to establish．一quantities是主語，it是形式主語。)

　　6．Apart from the enormous outflow of funds from the oil-consuming countries，a more basic? concern is the capability of the major exporters of crude oil to achieve a continuing production target? roughly doubling output every tenyears to meet the required oil demand if present trend continues．

??? 且不談用油國的資金大量外流，更令人擔心的重要問題是：如果目前的這種趨勢繼續(xù)發(fā)展下去，那么主要原油出口國是否有能力每10年大致將產(chǎn)量翻一番以滿足對石油的需求。

　　?(a-partfrom，“除了，且不說”。of．．．oil作capability的定語，不定式短語to achieve．．．continue也作定語，修飾capability。這個不定式短語中包含有：現(xiàn)在分詞短語roughly doubling．．．continue。這個短語中又包含有不定式短語作目的狀語to meet．．．continue和if引導的條件狀語，這兩個狀語都用來修飾doubling。)
