托福写作句型赏析:一句话三种逻辑
名句欣赏:
There has been an implicit assumption that because electric cars do not burn fossil fuels, they are clearer for the environment and safer for people, but that does not take into account how the electricity they use is generated.
解析:
这句话比较长,但逻辑主干还是比较简单:
There has been an assumption that A, but that does not take into account B.
有一个假设A,但这并没有考虑到B
A 是 assumption 的具体内容, B 是考虑的内容,即 = take B into account
A=because electric cars do not burn fossil fuels, they are clearer for the environment and safer for people
1) A 是 assumption 的同位语
2)electric cars 电动汽车
3)burn fossil fuels 燃烧化石燃料
4)safe 在这里的意思是[not likely to lead to any physical harm or danger ] 不损害健康的
整个A的意思是: 因为电动汽车不燃烧化石燃料,因此它们对环境更清洁,对人们更无害。
B= how the electricity they use is generated.
1) they use 是后置定语,修饰 [ the electricity]
2) generate electricity 发电
3) B= 它们使用的电是如何生产的
这句话有三种逻辑,[因果逻辑][比较逻辑][转折逻辑],值得好好模仿
整句话的意思是:有一个隐含的假设:因为电动车不燃烧化石燃料,所以他们对环境更清洁,对人们更无害,但是这并没有考虑它们使用的电是如何生产出来的。
