2017年6月大学英语四级阅读长难句解析(三)
But selfishly, I'm more fascinated byMichelle Obama and what she might be able todo, not just for this country, but for me as anAfrican-American woman.
英语四级原文译文:
但就我个人来说,我更加关注米歇尔·奥巴马以及她可能会做什么,不单是为这个国家,更是为我这个非裔美国女性。
英语四级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是I'm fascinated。by所引导的MichelleObama and what she might be able to do是fascinate的施动者。
句型结构not just...but...“不仅……还有……”所连接的是由for引导的并列介词短语,相当于notmerely/simply/solely/only...but (also)...。如:
Not just/merely/simply/solely/only the students bud also the teachers were invited.不仅邀请了学生,还邀请了老师。
be fascinated by的意思是“为……所着迷,神魂颠倒”。如:
The boy was fascinated by the toys in the shop.男孩被商店里的玩具给吸引住了。
