三、难句透视
1.Holleywood films are in the minority at our festival,and films from smaller countries that would be overlooked at Cannes,for example,have a real chance of winning in Berlin.(Page 51 lines 49~51)
好莱坞电影在我们的电影节中只是一小部分,那些来自较小国家的例如在嘎呐电影节被忽略的电影,很有可能在柏林电影节获奖。
【剖析】本句首先是由and连接的两个并列分句。第二个句子的主语films后有两个定语:一个是from smaller countries;一个是定语从句that would be overlooked at Cannes。for example把主语和谓语分割开来。
如:In my opinion,it would be much better to stay at home,for I can do what I like,such as reading books,watching TV,and helping my parents with the housework.
在我看来,呆在家里更好。因为我可以做我喜欢做的事情,如读书、看电视、帮助父母做家务等。
I love life;I love Mother Nature;and I love peace.
我热爱生活;我热爱大自然;我也热爱和平。
Besides,the film is usually more interesting,and it is easier to follow.
另外,通常状况下电影更有趣也更容易理解。

2.They do very well even compared with the experienced adult a-ctors in the film,such as Alan Rickman,Richard Harris and Maggie Smith.(Page 63 lines35~38)
即使和艾伦·里克曼,理查德·哈里斯和玛吉·史密斯这样的有经验的成年演员相比,在电影中他们做得也是好的。
【剖析】even compared with"甚至和......相比";experienced形容词"有经验的"。such as"例如......";用来列举事物,意思是"例如......等;像......这样;像......那种;诸如......之类"。
