  考研英语长难句解析:

  第97题:

  【分析】复合句。句子主干为 that seems likely to havestruck...。句首的 As 结构作状语,其中 that 引导的定语从句修饰 an orchestra,该定语从句中的 like 短语作 musicians 的后置定语。

  【译文】这样来描写一位曾经由 Gustav Mahler 和 Pierre Boulez 这样的大师指挥过的乐队的下一任指挥,至少会让一些《时代》的读者觉得有点明褒实贬。

  【点拨】1)orchestra"管弦乐队"。2)hitherto"迄今,到目前为止"。3) strike 有"打,击,敲;罢工;使突然想到;袭击;给...以深刻印象"的意思。4) faint 作动词和名词时,意为"昏厥,晕倒";作形容词时,意为"微弱的,模糊的,不清楚的;无力的;虚弱的;眩晕的",本句中显然是"微弱的"之意。

  第98题:

  【分析】简单句。句子主干为 classical instrumentalists must compete not only...but also...。句首的For 短语作状语,not only...but also... 连接两个并列的 with 短语,performances 和 musicians 后的 of短语分别作其后置定语。

  【译文】就艺术爱好者的时间、精力和财力而言,古典乐器的演奏家们不但要和歌剧院、舞蹈团、戏剧公司、博物馆竞争,而且还要和20世纪伟大的古典音乐家的录音演奏竞争。

  【点拨】1) instrumentalist"器乐家,乐器演奏者"。2) opera"歌剧院,剧场"。3)troupe "剧团,艺术团体",此外还可以作动词,意为"巡回演出"。

  【点拨】1)available"可用的,可得到的,可到达的"。2) live 在本句中是"现场直播的"之意。

  第100题:

  【分析】复合句。主句的主干为 Gilbert's own interest...has been widely noted。冒号后面的内容是对主句的进一步解释说明,其主干为 Alex Ross...has describes him as a man...,其中 a classical-musiccritic 是主语 Alex Ross 的同位语,who 引导的定语从句修饰 a man。

  【译文】Gilbert 对新音乐的兴趣得到大家的广泛关注:古典音乐评论家 Alex Ross 就把他描写成一个有能力把纽约交响乐团变成"一个完全不同、富有活力的组织"的人。
