专八真题阅读｜大猩猩神秘而迷人的非洲生灵

原文：〔No really satisfactory photograph has ever been taken of one in a wild state ①〕;〔no zoologist, however intrepid ②〕,〔has been able to keep the animal under close and constant observation in the dark jungles in which it lives ③〕.
译文：还没有人拍摄到真正令人满意的野生大猩猩照片；没有一个动物学家能在大猩猩生活的黑暗丛林中对其进行密切和持续的近距离观察，无论他多么勇敢。
 
【语法分析】
① No really satisfactory photograph has ever been taken of one in a wild state
采用现在完成时的被动语态。photograph 为动作对象，拍摄者没有出现；ever 与否定词 No 配合，涵盖截至叙述当时的全部观察记录。
② no zoologist, however intrepid
however intrepid 为省略主语和系动词的让步表达，完整含义接近 however intrepid the zoologist may be，补充“无论动物学家多么勇敢”。
③ has been able to keep the animal under close and constant observation in the dark jungles in which it lives
has been able to 采用现在完成时，谈长期未能实现的观察条件；in which 引导定语从句，修饰 jungles，which 作介词 in 的宾语。
【重点搭配解析】
① take a photograph of（给……拍照）
[take 后接 photograph，of 后放拍摄对象；谈拍摄行为时，take 比 make 合适。]
〔例〕The research team obtained permission to take photographs of rare birds during the winter migration.
研究团队获准在冬季迁徙期间拍摄珍稀鸟类。
② in a wild state（处于野生状态）
[wild state 关注动物未受圈养或驯化的生存状态；in captivity 则对应圈养环境。]
〔例〕Few visitors have observed these animals in a wild state because they inhabit remote mountain forests.
由于这些动物生活在偏远山林，很少有游客见过它们处于野生状态时的样子。
【句式总结和仿写】
句式：No ... has ever been ...; no ..., however ..., has been able to ....
（适合先否定既往成果，再补充即使具备较高能力也未能完成某事。）
仿写例句：
适用主题：环境保护
No permanent solution has ever been adopted; no local authority, however determined, has been able to restore the polluted lake alone.
迄今尚未采用任何永久解决方案；无论地方政府多么坚定，也无法独自修复这座受污染的湖泊。
