  9.While we were waiting for the coffee, the head waiter, (with an ingratiating smile on his false face), came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge apples.

  结构:共有2个谓语动词,其中主句谓语动词为came up。(with an ingratiating smile on his false face)是插入语,分隔了主语和谓语。Ingratiating这个形容词修饰smile,不认识也不妨碍理解。拆分为:

  1) The head waiter came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge apples.

  2) While we were waiting for the coffee.

  翻译:正在我们等咖啡上来的时候,领班面带着奉承的微笑,走到我们跟前,带来了一大篮子的特大苹果。

  10.But a great book, (rich in ideas and beauty), (a book that rises and tries to answer great fundamental questions), demands the most active reading of which you are capable.

  结构:共有3个谓语动词,其中demands是主句谓语动词。(rich in ideas and beauty)和(a book that…)是插入语。前者做a great book的后置定语,而后者是a great book的同位语,起补充说明的作用。that引导定语从句修饰book,which引导定语从句修饰reading。拆分为:

  1) A great book demands the most active reading.

  2) A book rises and tries to answer …questions.

  3) You are capable of the reading.

  翻译:但是一本富于思想和美感的伟大的书能够提出并试图回答一些伟大的根本问题。这样的书需要你尽最大所能来积极阅读。

  11.You found upon that a general law that all hard and green apples are sour; and that, (so far as it goes), is a perfect induction.

  结构:共有4个谓语动词,其中主句的谓语动词为foundis。分号前后的两句话是并列的主句。upon that等于because of that。第一个that指a general law。第二个that引导a general law的同位语从句。(so far as it goes)是插入语,意思是“迄今为止”。拆分为:

  1) You found upon that a general law.

  2) That all hard and green apples are sour.

  3) And that is a perfect induction.

  翻译:由此你发现了一条普遍规律,即所有又硬又青的苹果都是酸的。而且,迄今为止,这是一条不错的归纳。
