There is a good reason why the UK is dominated by animal husbandry: most of its terrain doesn’t have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis. (2021年英语二阅读理解text2)
结构划分:① There is a good reason
② why the UK is dominated by animal husbandry
③ most of its terrain doesn’t have the right soil or climate
④ to grow crops on a commercial basis.
重点词汇:
dominate v. 占据统治地位
animal husbandry 畜牧业
terrain n. 地形;地势;地带
crop n. 农作物;庄稼
on a commercial basis 商业性地
语法分析:本句主干为:There is a good reason,采用了there be句型;后面接着的why从句为定语从句,修饰前面reason,译为“英国由畜牧业主导是有原因的”。而后用冒号隔开,冒号之后的内容用于解释前面的内容。后半句的主干是most of its terrain doesn’t have the right soil or climate,用了主谓宾结构;后面的to grow crops on a commercial basis则为to do 短语做修饰,翻译时可前置。
参考译文:英国由畜牧业主导是有原因的:它的大多数地带都没有适合用作商业化种植的土壤和气候。
