二、考研英语一真题长难句练习 【典型难句】Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles reacted more enthusiastically to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, suggesting that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. 【结构图解】
[attach]301038[/attach] 【要点注释】forced to exercise their smiling 是过去分词作定语，阅读时可以将其看作省略who were的定语从句来理解。比较状语从句中those 后面有一个定语从句，因为这个定语从句比较长，所以分句倒装。正常语序为those whose mouths were contracted in a frown did。rather than的意思是“不是”，引导suggesting的并列宾语expression may influence emotions和just the other way around(即就是emotions may influence expression)。 【难句精译】做出微笑表情的人对有趣的漫画反应强烈，而愁眉苦脸的人对漫画的反应就比较差。这说明表情可能影响情绪，而不仅仅是情绪影响表情。

三、考研英语二真题长难句练习 【典型难句】The four victims were by all accounts good kids, all enrolled in college, all with a future. 【结构图解】
[attach]301035[/attach] 【要点注释】本句中有两个独立主格结构成分，一个是由代词all +过去分词短语enrolled in college构成的，另一个是由代词all+介词短语with a future 构成的。两者同时作主干句的伴随状语，补充说明主语The four victims（四名受害人）的情况。 【难句精译】据说，这四名受害者都是好孩子，全部考入大学，都有着美好的未来。
