Exercise

Ideally then, a school system should be one in which the love of learning, rather than the acquisition of facts , is cultivated.

Still, he could not help thinking that if anything should happen, the nearest person he could contact by radio, unless there was a ship nearby , would be on an island 885 miles away.

Yet this other life has its interests, its enjoyments, its satisfaction, and , at certain rare intervals, a peaceful glow or a sudden excitement.

要點(diǎn)分析和參考譯文

要點(diǎn)：one 后面有一個(gè)in which 引導(dǎo)得定語(yǔ)從句，其中rather than the acquisition of facts是插入語(yǔ)，可以看成是主語(yǔ)the love of learning的并列成分

參考譯文：因此，理想的教育制度應(yīng)該是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生酷愛(ài)學(xué)習(xí)，而不是獲得實(shí)際的東西

要點(diǎn)：虛擬條件句“if anything ……885 miles away.”是thinking的賓語(yǔ)從句，作thinking的賓語(yǔ)。在這個(gè)虛擬條件句的主句中，主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)之間插入了一個(gè)條件狀語(yǔ)從句“unless there was a ship nearby”，使得主謂分離。

參考譯文：他仍禁不住尋思起來(lái)，要是果發(fā)生什么意外，如果附近連一條船也沒(méi)有，他用無(wú)線電能聯(lián)系上得最近得人遠(yuǎn)在885英里以外得島上。

要點(diǎn)：句中 interests, enjoyments, satisfaction, glow和excitement共五哥并列成分，皆作賓語(yǔ)。 At certain rare intervals為插入語(yǔ)，意為“間或，偶爾”。

參考譯文：然而這另一種生活也有它的趣味，歡樂(lè)和滿足，并間或有一種寧?kù)o得喜悅或一陣突發(fā)得激動(dòng)。
