雅思阅读每日一句

对于雅思阅读来说长难句的理解是至关重要的,也是大多数学生为之烦恼的。工作室整理每日一句的初衷就是和帮助大家一起利用碎片时间解析长难句,为翻译题目和理解答案句打好基础。
怎样做每日一句:先对着英文句子尽量自己翻译,然后再看中文释义,如果和自己翻译的差不多一致则后面的可以大致看看或略过,若不一致或翻译不出来则细心看后面的内容详解或评论区留言~
注:所有的长难句都来自剑雅真题

Although the instinct of most managers, whose careers have been built on delivering predictable results, is to impose order — to standardise procedures, eliminate ambiguity and ensure that every employee knows exactly what is expected of them — there is mounting evidence that organisations which tolerate, and even actively encourage, a degree of disorder are more likely to generate the kind of novel solutions that tightly controlled environments systematically suppress.

这个句子怎么翻译?
内容详解

1
翻译
尽管大多数管理者——他们的职业生涯正是建立在交付可预测成果之上的——本能地想要强加秩序,即规范流程、消除模糊性并确保每位员工都清楚自己被期望做什么,但越来越多的证据表明:那些容忍甚至主动鼓励一定程度失序的组织,更有可能产生创新性的解决方案,而这类方案在管控严密的环境中会被系统性地压制。

分析
句子主干
there is mounting evidence that organisations ... are more likely to generate ... solutions
主句为 there be + evidence + that 同位语从句;句首为 Although 让步状语从句,中间被破折号插入语切断
结构拆解
① Although the instinct of most managers ... is to impose order:Although 引导让步状语从句,其主干为 the instinct ... is to impose order(主语 instinct + 系动词 is + 不定式表语)
② whose careers have been built on delivering predictable results:whose 引导的非限制性定语从句,插入在 instinct of most managers 与谓语 is 之间,造成主谓远隔
③ 破折号插入语 to standardise procedures, eliminate ambiguity and ensure that ...:三个并列不定式解释 impose order,其中第三个动词 ensure 后接 that 宾语从句,从句内又嵌套 what 引导的宾语从句
④ 主句 there is mounting evidence,mounting = 日益增加的,作前置定语
⑤ that organisations ... are more likely to generate the kind of novel solutions ...:evidence 的同位语从句,说明证据的具体内容
⑥ which tolerate, and even actively encourage, a degree of disorder:which 定语从句修饰 organisations,插入语 and even actively encourage 表递进
⑦ that tightly controlled environments systematically suppress:that 定语从句修饰 the kind of novel solutions,作句尾收束
语法重点
although 引导让步从句 + 引导词与主句之间的三层嵌套(阅读提速点)
本句 Although 从句长度接近 50 词,内部还套了 whose 定语从句与破折号并列不定式
读法:先抓 Although ..., ... is to impose order;跳读到破折号后主句 there is mounting evidence,再回头补细节
2. that 引导同位语从句 vs. 定语从句的辨别
evidence that organisations ... are more likely to ...:that 后从句结构完整、不缺成分,且 that 不可省略 → 同位语从句
solutions that ... suppress:that 在从句中作 suppress 的宾语 → 定语从句(缺成分即为定语从句)

每日一练
翻译下面句子:
It is not that efficient organisations lack clear rules, but that rules which are applied with absolute rigidity leave no room for the informal exchanges — the chance conversations, the improvised experiments — from which unexpected breakthroughs so often emerge.
问题并不在于高效的组织缺乏明确的规则,而在于那些被绝对僵化执行的规则,没有为非正式的交流——偶然的对话、即兴的试验——留下任何空间,而这些恰恰是意外突破最常产生的源头。
