【今日长难句】
In fact, circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us and if we feel that we have been "wronged" then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation.
语音简答
【结构解析】
1. 该句较长,主干为 “and” 连接的并列句。
2. 前半句主干为被动句,即:circumstances/ seem to be designed; “to bring out the best in us” 为目的状语。
3. 后半句为“if条件状语从句+主句(主谓宾结构)”。“if”所引导的条件状语从句中嵌套了that引导的宾语从句做feel的宾语。to escape from our situation 为动词不定式修饰a counscious effort.
【词的处理】
circumstance / ˈsə:kəmstəns/ 条件,状况,环境
bring out 生产;使显示
wrong vt. 误会
be unlikely to …不太可能
conscious / ˈkɔnʃəs/ 有意识的
【参考译文】
In fact, circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us and if we feel that we have been "wronged" then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation.
事实上,环境仿佛就是为了激发我们的最大潜能而设的,如果我们觉得自己遭受了“不公”,就不太可能有意识地去努力摆脱自己的处境。
【明日预告】
Nevertheless, as any biographer knows, a person's early life and its conditions are often the greatest gift to an individual.
