GMAT/GRE长难句解析 02

长难句 1

The methods that a community devises to perpetuate itself come into being to preserve aspects of the cultural legacy that that community perceives as essential.

devise   v.  设计，发明

perpetuate   v.  使持续，使长久

cultural legacy  n.  文化遗产

perceive  v.  认为，理解；察觉，注意到，意识到

结构分析：The methods （that a community devises to perpetuate itself）come into being to preserve (aspects of the cultural legacy)【that （that community） perceives as essential】.

1. 第一个that引导主语从句, 修饰methods，即主语是：一个社会设计出来延续自己的方法

2. 谓语动词come into being；to do表目的，即是为了保护...

3. 最后两个that, 第一个that引导定语从句，修饰cultural legacy; 后一个that是代词，指代前面出现过的那个社会。也就是那个社会认为最重要的文化遗产

句意：一个社会设计出来延续自己的方法是为了保护那个社会认为最重要的文化遗产的一些方面。

长难句 2

Moreover, I can feel strong emotions in response to objects of art that are interpretations, rather than representations, of reality.

interpretation   n.  解释，理解，表演，演奏

representation   n.  代表，描绘，表现，象征

Moreover, I can feel strong emotions in response to objects of art that are interpretations, (rather than representations), of reality.

1. that引导定语从句，修饰objects of art

2. rather than representations是插入语，可以先跳过；实际上这里也有所省略，补全应该是rather than representations of reality

3. interpretations of reality，对现实的解释

句意：并且，我对于那些能够解释现实而并非描绘现实的这些艺术物品有强烈的共鸣。
