例198 It is not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.
【结构分析】句子主语是由how引导的一个主语从句,it是句子的形式主语;句子主干为: How...is not obvious,主语从句中主语是capacity,后面加上两个并列的不定式短语做定语,也就是to visualize objects和to figure out numerical patterns,谓语是suits,宾语是one, to answer questions是宾补,后面加上定语从句that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers修饰前面的questions。
【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于it形式主语要还原,而且主语从句的两个不定式用得很霸气,导致动词找起来很困难,后面还有个超级定语从句。
【核心词汇】
visualize 想象
figure out 发现和找出
suit 使……适合
elude 超越能力之外
【参考译文】构思物体和找出数字模型的能力是如何让一个人去回答那些连最好的诗人和哲学家都回避的问题的,这点我们还不是很清楚。
