今日长难句：

选自2021年6月大学英语六级考试真题（第2套）

There is something almost delightful in the detachment from reality of advertisements showing mass-produced cars marketed as symbols of individuality and of freedom when most of their lives will be spent making short journeys on choked roads .

超脱现实的广告展示了被宣传为象征个性和自由的大批量生产的汽车，这几乎是一件令人愉快的事，但人们大多数驾驶时间都将耗在拥堵的短途旅程上。

第一步 简单划分句子成分，进行初步断句

There is something/ almost delightful /in the detachment from reality/ of advertisements/ showing mass-produced cars /marketed as symbols of individuality and of freedom /when most of their lives/ will be spent /making short journeys on choked roads .

第二步 先去掉修饰成分，尤其是这里面很多的介词短语、定语以及状语从句，确定好主语和动词，删繁就简，句子基本的主框架确定

There is something/ almost delightful /in the detachment from reality/ of advertisements/ showing mass-produced cars /marketed as symbols of individuality and of freedom /when most of their lives/ will be spent /making short journeys on choked roads .

句子主体就是这样的一个简单的there be 句型There is something delightful.

然后再来看这四个现在分词和过去分词

showing marketed spent和making

对应的主语 advertisements show 广告展示

mass-produced cars marketed 大量生产的汽车被宣传

spend time doing 结构的被动语态most of their lives will be spent making short journeys...人们大多数时间都将花费在短途旅程上

第三步把刚才跳读和略读的修饰性成分（各种介词短语等）信息还原，细节补充回去，得到句子清晰完整的全貌

in the detachment from reality 超脱现实

as symbols of individuality and of freedom 象征个性和自由

on choked roads 在拥堵的路上

核心要点：

1. detachment n. 脱离 超然 冷漠

True inner detachment manifests as an ability to think clearly without being influenced by what people think or say about you.

2. symbol n. 象征

The color white has always been a symbol of purity in western culture.

3.market v. 销售 营销

She is a wonderful saleswoman and she believes that she can sell anything to anyone as long as she markets it right.
