目前考研英语基础阶段复习中，考研辅导老师收集了一些学员共有的问题，学员们在此阶段除了复习词汇外，我们还建议学员复习长难句，分析句子，理解句子的意思，目前我们收集的基本是长难句方面的问题，本文给大家整理出这些问题，希望考生认真学习，从中总结长难句分析的方法：
1. A technological advancement is gauged by the power it gives or the energy it consumes and the cost that is involved.
解析：本句的难点在于后置定语，it gives，it consumes，that is involved，把这些后置定语直接作为形容词短语放在前面就行，同时注意短语is gauged by：以．．．为标准。那么我们来切分意群：A technological advancement ／is gauged by ／the power it gives ／or the energy it consumes ／and the cost that is involved.逐个意群翻译，最后组合为通顺的汉语。
整句翻译为：技术改进的标准在于它所给予（或付出）的能量，它所消耗的能源以及它涉及的价值。（或投入的成本）
2、He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.
解析：本句主要考察宾语从句，定语从句，比较及并列结构。首先我们先切分意群，He adds humbly ／that perhaps ／he was “superior to the common run of men／ in noticing things／ which easily escape attention, and ／in observing them carefully.
注意以下词汇：humbly，卑谦地，谦逊地。Superior to高于…，然后逐个意群翻译，组合成较为通顺的汉语：他谦虚的补充到：或许自己在注意到容易被人忽略的事情，并对其进行仔细观察方面优于他人。
3、These peculiar elements in the make-up of man provide a long history and tradition of wisdom accumulated in various forms of civilization from which culture grows and continue flowing.
解析：本句是定语从句：主语:These peculiar elements; 谓语：provide。有两个后置定语：in the make-up of man; accumulated in various forms of; 定语从句是from which 后面。切分意群：These peculiar elements /in the make-up of man /provide/ a long history/ and tradition of wisdom /accumulated in various forms of civilization/ from which culture grows and continue flowing.
意译为：这些组成人类的独特元素历史悠久，使人类拥有形式多样的文明传统的智慧，这种人类文化源远流长。
以上便是老师给大家总结的最近学员反映较多的问题，我们给大家总结了在分析理解这些句子时要注意的几个方面，总的来说，考生在基础阶段长难句的准备是首先把词汇基础搞好，再次要熟悉常见的十种语法，然后切分意群，最后把意群的意思组合成通顺的汉语，基本的翻译的流程就是这样，希望各位考生首先把基础提高，然后根据此方法进行练习，预祝大家快乐复习！
