歷年考研真題長難句解析薈萃(22)

1. Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as "The Flight from Science and Reason," held in New York City in 1995, and "Science in the Age of (Mis)information," which assembled last June near Buffalo.

【譯文】科學的捍衛者們也在一些會議上表示了他們的擔憂，如1995年在紐約舉行的"遠離科學和理性"會議，以及去年6月在布法羅附近召開的"信息（迷信息）時代的科學"會議。

【析句】句子的主干（Defenders have voiced their concerns at meeting）并不復雜，但是介詞短語較長。such as引導的成分是meetings的同位語，舉例介紹了兩個會議，并且說明了會議的名稱以及時間和地點。

【講詞】voice在句中作動詞，意為"表達"。At the meeting, he voiced his opposition to the policy.（他在會上表達了他對這項政策的反對意見。）The president voiced his satisfaction with regard to the bilateral relations.（總統對兩國的關系表示滿意。）assemble意為"集合；聚集；裝配"。All the students assembled in the school auditorium.（所有的學生都到學校的禮堂集合了。）His area of research is self-assembled nanostructures.（他的研究領域是自組裝納米結構。）

2.  A survey of news stories in 1996 reveals that the anti-science tag has been attached to many other groups as well, from authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus to Republicans who advocated decreased funding for basic research.

【譯文】1996年對新聞報道的調查表明，反科學的標簽也貼在了許多其他群體上，其中包括宣揚消滅所有現存的天花病毒的官方人士，以及宣揚削減基礎研究基金的共和黨人。

【析句】句子的主干（A survey reveals that...）比較簡單，復雜之處是many other groups的同位語。為了舉例說明many other groups，作者列舉了兩種：一是 authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus，一是Republicans who advocated decreased funding for basic research。

【講詞】attach本意為"系上，縛上，貼上"，但是常見的詞義是"附加，附屬"。We will provide you with a loan with no conditions attached.（我們會無條件給你提供一筆貸款。）I can't open the file attached to the email.（我打不開電郵的文檔附件。）
