识文断句,(2)

　识文断句 1. [原句] They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. (P26) 两个人握了握手，然后在对方的面颊上吻了两下。因为在法国的风俗习惯中，成年人见到熟人就是这么问候的。

　[分析] 此句是一个复合句结构。主句为 They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek；从句为 since 引导的原因状语从句，即 since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know。

　 since 引导的原因状语从句本身也是一个复合句结构。主句为 that is the French custom；从句为 when 引导的时间状语从句，即 when adults meet people they know。

　 when 引导的时间状语从句中又含有一个省略了关系代词 who / whom / that 的定语从句 they know，修饰先行词 people。

　2. [原句] Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. (P26) 各种文化背景下的人相互问候的方式不尽相同，身体接触和相互间距的程度也不尽相同。

　[讲一讲] 此句中，not all 意为 “并非全都……”表示部分否定。

　英语中有一些表示“全体”或“完全”意义的总括词，如 all, every (及 everybody, everything 等)，both, always, quite, wholly, entirely, altogether, completely 等，含有这些词的否定句并非表示全部否定，而表示部分否定。如：

　Not all explanations are correct. / All explanations are not correct.

　并不是全部的解释都正确。

　Not everything in the book is caught by me. / Everything in the book is not caught by me.

　我不能完全掌握书中的内容。

　Not both children are clever. / Both children are not clever.

　并不是两个孩子都聪明。
