专题复习：如何抓住长难句的核心

所谓句子的核心(thecoreofasentence)就是指句子最主要的成分：主、谓,宾语/表语。这三种句子成分是句子最基本的要素。虽然有的句子表面上很长，其实它们的核心部分只不过是几个关键词。其他的部分统统都是为这几个核心词服务的，或是描述修饰它们，或是解释说明以下细节：时间(when)、地点(where)、原因(why)、方式(how)、何物(what)、数量(howmany或howmuch)及何种结果(whatresult)

典例：Itwasreportedthat59studentshadjustwonthefirstprizeandstoodoutoftensofthousandsofstudentstakingpartinthe35thChineseMathematicalOlympiadinSenior,includingtwostudentsinourschool,thankstotheirhardworkandcoaches‘guidance,whichwefeltproudof.

主句的句子的核心：Itwasreportedthat…,从句：students…won…prizeandstoodout.

学生登上最高的台阶。再经过对这个长句的一系列细节的分析：据报道，几万学生参加的第35届“全国数学联赛”，59名中学生荣获福建省一等奖，包括我们学校的两位同学，多亏他们的努力和教练的辛勤指导，这让我们骄傲。
