今日长难句:
选自《华盛顿邮报》
And he posted a screenshot of a memo that he had sent out to the whole company at just that moment, announcing his resignation, announcing that a virtual unknown outside of Twitter, named Parag Agrawal, would be taking over, and it would be effective immediately.
他发布了一张备忘录的截图,这是他当时发给整个公司的备忘录,宣布他辞职,宣布推特之外一个几乎默默无闻的人,名叫帕拉格·阿格拉瓦尔,将接管公司,并立即生效。
第一步 简单划分句子成分,进行初步断句。
And/ he posted a screenshot /of a memo/ that he had sent out to the whole company/ at just that moment, announcing /his resignation, announcing/ that a virtual unknown /outside of Twitter, named Parag Agrawal, would be/ taking over, and it would be /effective immediately.
第二步 抓动词,看主语,确定一下句子的基本框架,先看主句再看从句。
And/ he posted a screenshot /of a memo/ that he had sent out to the whole company/ at just that moment, announcing /his resignation, announcing/ that a virtual unknown /outside of Twitter, named Parag Agrawal, would be/ taking over, and it would be /effective immediately.
梳理一下整体句子的框架和信息:
He posted sth 他发布了...
He had sent out sth to the whole company 他把...发给了全公司
anouncing sth and sth... 宣布了一些信息
Sb would be taking over 有一个人接管公司
and it would be effective immediately 这件事立即生效
第三步 把刚才跳读和略读的修饰性成分信息还原,细节补充回去,得到句子清晰完整的全貌。
a screenshot of a memo 发布的内容 :一张备忘录的截图
that引导的定语从句,修饰memo:And he posted a screenshot of a memo that he had sent out to the whole company at just that moment.
这是他当时发给整个公司的备忘录
非谓语结构announcing his resignation, announcing that a virtual unknown outside of Twitter, named Parag Agrawal, would be taking over...
