　　昨天句子的解析

　　A long-held view of the history of the English colonies that became the United States has been that England’s policy toward these colonies before 1763 was dictated by commercial interests and that a change to more imperial policy, dominated by expansionist militarist objective, generated the tensions that ultimately led to

　　the American Revolution.

　　词汇突破: 1.A long-held view 长久以来的观点

　　2.Dictated主导

　　3.Dominated 主导

　　4.Imperial policy 帝国政策

　　5.expansionist militarist objective 扩张主义的军事目标

　　(顺便说一 下：名词也可以做定语：eligibility age = eligible age)

　　6.commercial interests:商业利益

　　主干识别： A long-held view has been that…and that...

　　其他成分： of the history of the English colonies that became the United States

　　( view 的修饰成分) 后来变成美国的英国殖民地的历史(够饶的)

　　England’s policy toward these colonies before 1763 was dictated by commercial interests 表语从句一

　　a change to more imperial policy, dominated by expansionist militarist objective, generated the tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution.表语从句二

　　表语从句二的主干:

　　a change to more imperial policy generated the tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution.

　　表语从句二的其他部分：

　　, dominated by expansionist militarist objective,(这里主要从语义入手就好了，说其实定语和状语都是可以的)

　　参考译文： 对于后来成为了美国的英国殖民地，人们一直以来持有下面的观点：1.在1763年之前，英国对于这些殖民地的政策被经济利益所支配。2.之后在扩张主义的军事目标的左右下转向了一种帝国政策，这样形成了一种紧张局势，并最终导致了美国革命。

　　翻译点拨： 先理清楚句子的结构，保证理解的正确。断开后再根据中文的表达习惯进行调整。

　　背景介绍：对于美国早期的文化我们需要重点了解，之前考研中谈到过美国的清教徒(puritans), 美国的移民文化和大众文化;

　　昨日回顾：昨天让同学们非常不爽一个表达就是：

　　Devolve A to B :把A移交给B; 但是如果当A这个部分很长的时候，老外这帮逗比就习惯于写成: Devolve to B A, 意思还是把A 移交个B;

　　这个种情况在其他单词和搭配中也非常多:

　　View A as B: 认为A是B; 这个结构，老外常常会写成：

　　View as B A. 意思还是认为A是B;

　　还有：elect A as B: 选择A作为B;常被写为：

　　elect as B A 意思还是选择A作为B;

　　今天的句子：

　　Mr Müller says he is determined that VW not be “paralysed” by the emissions affair. Its sales fell in Europe and America in January even as their overall demand for new cars rose. But Mr Müller says 2016 has started well and that he expects little lingering impact from the scandal. He may be right. General Motors’ faulty ignition switches and Toyota’s “unintended accelerations” forced both firms to make huge recalls and generated plenty of bad press. Yet sales recovered within a few months.
