二、长句分析
【B篇】Improving fitness was Dion Leonard's inspiration for starting marathon recreationally together with his wife Lucja, and then as race competitors.
提高身体素质是迪翁·伦纳德开始跑马拉松的初衷——起初是与妻子露西娅一起作为休闲活动,后来则作为比赛选手参与。
Besides having completed a race requiring remarkable physical strength together, they also overcame emotionally trying circumstances when tasked with saving a severely worn-out competitor, ultimately costing them first place in the race.
除了共同完成了一场需要惊人体力的比赛外,他们还克服了情感上的艰难处境——当时他们肩负起拯救一名严重虚脱的参赛者的任务,最终因此失去了比赛的第一名。
Dion has written and published books documenting his and Gobi's story-the children's book tells a visual story through Gobi's eyes while the adult book (a New York Times bestseller called Finding Gobi) addresses themes such as Dion's upbringing that drove him not to leave Gobi behind.
迪翁已经撰写并出版了记录他和戈比故事的书籍——儿童书通过戈比的视角讲述了一个视觉化的故事,而成人书(《寻找戈比》,一本《纽约时报》畅销书)则探讨了诸如迪翁的成长经历等主题,正是这些经历驱使他没有将戈比遗弃。
【C篇】While killer asteroids have hit before, such as the one that finished off the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, Nugent says a similar situation is not expected to occur in the future.
虽然小行星撞击地球的情况以前发生过,比如6600万年前导致恐龙灭绝的那一次,但纽金特表示,未来预计不会发生类似的情况。
【D篇】Their first experiment showed that the more bystanders there were, the more an individual's sense of responsibility diffused -- 85% of participants helped in a one-on-one situation, while only 31%did so in a group of six.
他们的第一个实验表明,旁观者越多,个人的责任感就越分散——在一对一的情境下,85%的参与者提供了帮助,而在六人小组中,只有31%的人这样做。
They pointed out that the bystander effect mainly springs from people's failure to interpret a situation as an emergency due to others' inaction. The second reason for the bystander effect is that when multiple bystanders are present, each person feels less personal commitment to act, as they assume others (especially those with professional skills like doctors or police) will intervene.
他们指出,旁观者效应主要源于人们因为他人不作为而未能将某一情况判断为紧急事件。旁观者效应的第二个原因是,当有多名旁观者在场时,每个人都会感到较少的个人行动责任,因为他们假设其他人(尤其是那些具备专业技能的人,如医生或警察)会出面干预
Their findings showed that bystanders intervened in 91% of cases, and in direct contradiction to the original theory, the presence of more bystanders actually increased the likelihood of intervention, with multiple people often stepping in together.
他们的研究结果表明,旁观者在91%的情况下进行了干预,并且与最初的理论直接相悖的是,更多旁观者的存在实际上增加了干预的可能性,多人常常会一起介入。
