今日长难句:
This classical model has traditionally produced prestigious universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalisation of society--which allows everybody who is connected to the internet to access learning--and by the need to acquire skills in step with a fast-changing world.
传统上,这种古典主义模式造就了享有盛誉的大学,但如今却面临挑战:社会的数字化让所有能连接互联网的人都有学习的机会,且人们需要获得新技能以跟上快速变化的世界。
分析:
第一步:简单划分句子成分,进行断句。
This classical model /has traditionally produced /prestigious universities, but /it is now challenged /by the digitalisation of society/--which allows everybody /who is connected to the internet /to access learning--/and by the need /to acquire skills /in step with /a fast-changing world.
第二步删繁就简,抓动词看主语。去掉较长的修饰和补充说明功能的成分(例如由长到短定语从句、介词短语、形容词、副词)从而先分析出句子的主干核心要义,看到简单的支撑句子的主框架。
第三步我们再来看从句和介词短语,把各种细节还原添加到我们已经得到的信息中来,就是句子清晰完整的全貌了。
This classical model /has traditionally produced/ prestigious universities, but/ it is now challenged /by the digitalization of society/--which allows everybody /who is connected to the internet/ to access learning--/and by the need /to acquire skills/ in step with/ a fast-changing world.
非限定性定语从句,修饰数字化digitalization, 作为“社会的数字化”的进一步解释说明,类似插入语,所以可以最后再来细看这一句。
