考研英语是一门需要长时间积累的学科,对于备战2015考研的学子们来说,从现阶段到6月份为夯实基础阶段,在此阶段,同学们应该主攻单词和语法,坚持每天1-2篇的英语阅读以此来培养语感。
But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.
词汇突破:
primary 首要的
moral code 道德原则/规范
Govern 管理,支配
dedicate one’s energies to sth 致力于某事
句子解析:还是not…any more than 结构,还是把句子拆分:
A= But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity
B= a businessman is (not) expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.
参考译文: 但是,他的首要任务并不是考虑支配自己行动的道德规范,就如同(我们)不能指望商人会致力于探索行业规范一样。
Not…any more than, 从结构上我们已经掌握了,再从表意功能上看,我们其实可以知道,这个结构很多时候就是为了把两个表示否定的句子连接起来而已。很多时候第二个句子所表述的事实往往是被读者所熟悉的,和接受的,是为了更好的表达第一个句子。
