【英语】6月10日 长难句+词汇
考点:条件状语从句
句子:
If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006's World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months.
句法分析:主句主干是you would find a quirk;if引导条件状语从句放在句首,从句的主干是you were to examine...;冒号后面的成分是对quirk的解释说明,这一部分的句子主干是players are more likely to...;to have been born 是动词不定式的现在完成时态,指的是说话当下已经出生的运动员。
参考翻译:如果你检查一下2006年世界杯足球锦标赛中每个球员的出生证明,你很可能会发现一个值得注意的怪现象:精英球员多数出生在年初月份,而不是年尾月份。
