　　课文难句讲解、分析

　　1. A decision is a choice made from among alternative courses of action that are available.(p1)

　　译：决策就是从几种可以选择的做法中作出选择。

　　分析：该句是主系表结构。made from among alternative courses of action that are available是过去分词短语做定语修饰a choice; 其中that are available是定语从句修饰courses of action.

　　像这样一环修饰一环的句子结构在英文中很普遍，因此为了看懂句子大家必须学会分析。这是整个英语学习过程中很重要的能力!

　　2. The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists, goals or objectives are wrong, or something is standing in the way of accomplishing them. (p1)

　　译：做出决策的原因是因为存在问题，目标或目的有错误，或者有某种东西防碍着它们的实现。

　　分析：该句又是主系表结构。That引导三个并列的表语从句，①a problem exists，②goals or objectives are wrong;③something is standing in the way of accomplishing them。 短语：make a decision:做出决策;stand in the way: 阻挡、防碍

　　3. Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance, but since uncertainty is always there, risk accompanies decisions. (p2)

　　译：通常管理者必须对未来的情况做出最佳预测，从而使偶然性尽可能少地发生，但因为不确定性总是存在，所以决策常伴随着风险。

　　分析：前半句是主谓宾结构。what the future will be是at的宾语;as little as possible做leave的宾语;since引导原因状语从句，相当于because.

　　4. If there is no choice, there is no decision to be made. (p3)

　　译：如果没有选择，就不会有决策。

　　分析：这是一句很简单的条件状语从句，但它有一个很重要的考点：to be made。这是动词不定式做定语修饰decision，有将来意味。比如：The last question to be discussed today is how to divide the work among ourselves.

　　5. For managers, every decision has constraints based on policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like. (p3)

　　译：对于管理者而言，每次决策都受到政策、程序、法律以及惯例等因素制约。

　　分析：这句话的考点是based on policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like。同样是过去分词短语做定语修饰constraints。其中词组：base…on以…为基础。 如：The film is based on s short story by Jack London.

　　6. But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives. (p4)

　　译：但是这种简化的倾向使得他们看不到其他可供选择的方法。

　　分析：该句主语the tendency to simplify，谓语blinds; them是宾语。to simplify是定语，修饰the tendency;to other alternatives是宾补。其中短语：blind sb to sth:使…看不见…;

　　we shouldn’t let our prejudices blind us to the facts.

　　7. Because individuals (and organizations) frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals, the best choice may depend on who makes the decision. (p6 line 4--6)

　　译：因为个人(和组织)关于如何达到目的常有不同的观点，哪种是最优的选择可能要看是谁做出决策。

　　分析：这是一个由because引导的原因状语从句。其中how to attain the goals做介词about的宾语，who makes the decision做介词on的宾语。

　　8. Some of these objectives are more important than others, but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department. (p7 line 2--4)

　　译：其中有一些目标比其它的更重要，但其顺序和重要程度因人和不同的部门而异。

　　分析：请注意比较级more important than，词组：vary from person to person译成中文：因人而异，可以推出：因季节而异vary from season to season….

　　9. When presented with a common case, sales managers tend to see sales problems, production managers see production problems, and so on. (p7 line 5--7)

　　译：当面对同一件日常事情时，销售经理倾向于看销售问题，而生产经理则会看生产相关的问题，等等。

　　分析：前半部分为常考内容，它是when + 过去分词短语，构成时间状语部分。其中词组：

　　be presented with = be faced with当面对…

　　When faced with difficulties, we should be brave..

　　10. People often assume that a decision is an isolated phenomenon. (p9)

　　译：人们经常假设一项决策是孤立的现象。

　　分析：句子结构简单：主谓宾(从句)。其中assume: = imagine; isolated: adj 孤立的。

　　phenomenon: n 现象;复数变化较特殊：phenomena

　　重点单词、词组详讲

　　课文难句分析

　　1. The key words here are preparation and confidence, which will carry you far. (p2)

　　译：这里的关键词是准备和自信，它们将使你前程远大。

　　分析：which will carry you far非限定性定语从句，修饰preparation and confidence。另外请注意：key关键的;preparation是prepare的名词;confidence: n 信心。Confident: a 有信心的;self-confidence: 自信心。

　　2. Find out all you can about the job you are applying for and the origination you hope to work for. (p4)

　　译：了解你所申请的工作和你希望为之工作的组织。

　　分析：you are applying for定语，修饰the job; you hope to work for定语修饰the origination。词组：apply to sb for sth向某人申请什么。

　　3. It shows an unattractive indifference to your employer and to your job. (p6)

　　译：它表明你对雇主和你的工作的态度冷漠，不感兴趣。

　　分析：it主语;shows谓语;an unattractive indifference宾语;to your employer and to your job间接宾语。Show sth to sb=show sb sth.另外，请注意：indifference: 冷漠，漠视。

　　4. He wants somebody who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job. (p7)

　　分析：who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job全部都是定语，修饰somebody。注意介词with表示带有。。; have interest in sth对…有兴趣。

　　5. Anything that you find out about the prospective employer can be used to your advantage during the interview to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for. (p8)

　　译：你找到的任何有关未来雇主的信息在面试中都能为你所用，以表示你费了心思去掌握一些关于你希望为其工作的人的事实。

　　分析：从这个句子的长度大家也能看出这是一个复杂句。主体结构为：anything can be used to your advantage. that you find out about the prospective employer是定语从句;during the interview状语;to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for是目的状语;who you hope to work for是另外一个定语从句修饰the people. 词组：to your advantage: 对你有利;work for sb为某人工作。

　　6. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification of something that has been said during the interview if you want to be sure what was implied, but do be polite. (p10)

　　译：面试中如果你想确切地知道某些话的含义，不要害怕请对方解释清楚，但一定要有礼貌。

　　分析：基本句型：not be afraid to do sth; 不要害怕去做某事;ask for clarification要求澄清;that has been said during the interview定语，修饰something; what was implied宾语;do be polite: 其中do为了强调，如：do be careful! I do love you! He does lie to us!

　　7. Have the letter inviting you for an interview ready to show in case there is any difficulty in communication. (p16)

　　译： 拿着邀请你面试的通知书，以防万一交谈出现困难时显示。

　　分析：这是一个祈使句。Have动词，拿着;the letter宾语;inviting you for an interview现在分词做定语;ready to show状语;in case there is any difficulty in communication条件状语从句;词组：there is some difficulty in sth/doing sth在…方面有困难。如：We have some difficulty speaking English fluently.

　　8. There is little likelihood that a panel of five wants to go through the process of all shaking hands with you in turn. (p20)

　　译：由五个人构成的专门小组几乎不可能轮流与你握手。

　　分析：这句话的重点在于that a panel of five ants to go through the process of all shaking hands with you in turn是一个同位语从句，是对little likelihood的解释。其中：likelihood: n 可能性，相当于possibility; go through经历; in turn:轮流。

　　9. Would you mind rephrasing the question, please? (p23)

　　译：您介意换个说法来问这个问题吗?

　　分析：考点mind doing sth. 如： Would you mind turning down the TV?

　　语法：介绍as的相关用法

　　as是一个乍一看简单，但实际在英语中用法很复杂的小词。从词类上讲，可以用作介词、副词、连词以及关系代词;从语法功能角度来看，可以构成介词宾语，引导原因状语从句，时间状语从句，方式状语从句，让步状语从句，比较状语从句和定语从句。此外as还出现在很多固定搭配中，如： as if, as though, as long as, as to, as for, so as to, etc.

　　请看下列例句,并请分析出as的具体用法。

　　1. I work as an English teacher in a middle school.

　　2. Run as fast as you can.

　　3. Young as he is, he knows more than I.

　　4. Just as I was leaving, the telephone rang.
