A：长难句

She pointed to media coverage that described loneliness as an epidemic, likening it to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. “It’s not realistic to expect that we can cure loneliness and I don’t think we should – it’s part of being human,” she said. “It’s a signal to ourselves that we want something more from our social interactions, that we want something more from our social lives.”

思考题：

She disagrees with media coverage and thinks loneliness is terminally ill.

B：句子切分

第一句：

She pointed to media coverage that described loneliness as an epidemic, likening it to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

主干识别：

She pointed to media coverage…她谈到了媒体报道

切分成分：

1.that described loneliness as an epidemic(定语从句)什么样的媒体报道

That = media coverage

2.likening it to smoking 15 cigarettes a day 把孤独比作每天抽15支香烟

看到-ing就想是谁发出的这个动作!!!别想什么“逻辑主语”听着就烦!

这里不就是media coverage发出的liken这个动作吗!从语义和语境判断!

记住：看到-ing就想谁发出了这个动作!找出来!!!“逻辑主语”“逻辑主语”什么是逻辑?等着我明天好好的怼一下“逻辑主语”!期待不!

第二句：

“It’s not realistic to expect that we can cure loneliness and I don’t think we should – it’s part of being human,” she said.

切分：

1.“It’s not realistic …and I don’t think we should,”

It形式主语=to expect that we can cure loneliness 真的主语

2. I don’t think we should (cure loneliness)为了简洁，省略了括号里的内容

3.it’s part of being human; it指代loneliness，即孤独是人性的一部分

4. she said

第三句：

“It’s a signal to ourselves that we want something more from our social interactions, that we want something more from our social lives.”

主干识别：

It’s a signal to ourselves…这是一个给我们自己的信号

切分成分：

1.that we want something more from our social interactions

(signal的同位语从句)

2.that we want something more from our social lives

(signal的同位语从句)

C:词汇晋升

1.media coverage 新闻报道

2.describe 描述

3.lonliness 孤独

4.epidemic 流行病

5.liken 把……比作

D:参考译文

她谈到了那些将孤独描绘成流行病的媒体报道，这些报道把孤独比作每天抽15支香烟。她说：期望治愈孤独是不切实际的，而且我不认为我们应该这么做，孤独是人性的一部分。它是一个信号，提醒我们自己，我们想要从社会交往中获得更多，从社会生活中得到更多。

E:思考题答案

She disagrees with media coverage and thinks loneliness is terminally ill.

这句话的前半句是对的，但后半句不对，因为她认为孤独是人正常生活的一部分，是不可避免的但不是绝症(terminally ill)
