2010年考研英语真题同源难句精选之非谓语动词

　　【难句23】Drivers can instruct their car stereos to “play similar”， prompting the system to call up songs in the same musical genre. (Business Week Feb. 5, 2007)

　　【结构分析】本句结构清晰，主干是一个主谓宾结构：Drivers can instruct their car stereos to “play similar”，其中不定式结构to “play similar”构成了instruct their cars的复合宾语。现在分词结构prompting the system to call up songs in the same musical genre作instruct their car stereos to “play similar”的状语，我们可以理解为结果状语，在这里，prompt后也采用了不定式结构to call up songs in the same musical genre与the system一起构成复合宾语的形式。

　　【参考译文】驾驶者可以指令车内立体声设备“播放相似音乐”，提示系统集合相同风格的音乐。

　　【难句24】Having succeeded as a convenient vehicle for every conceivable political and commercial slogan, the threads themselves are becoming the newest message, logically enough. (Time Jan. 18, 2007)

　　【结构分析】本句为主从复合句。主句中的主语与从句中的主语一致，从句中省去主谓，造成分词作伴随状语的形式，我们可以还原为since the threads have succeeded as…主句部分是the threads themselves are becoming the newest message,句末的 logically enough是状语，在翻译时，我们可以转译为be becoming the newest message的补充部分。

　　【参考译文】成功作为政治和商业口号的一种便捷媒介物，(T恤)衣服本身也成了最新的信息，这种情况(的发生)合乎逻辑。

　　【难句25】Some of the biggest venture capital firms are raising large funds, targeting more established companies, and increasingly setting their sights abroad. (Business Week Feb. 5, 2007)

　　【参考译文】某些大的风险投资公司正在筹集大量的资金，他们的目标是已经稳定的企业，并且日益将目光投向海外市场。
