GRE 难句 会的来.
Whereas previously, it was assumed that monogamy and male certainty of paternity facilitated the evolution of male care, it now seems appropriate to consider the alternative possibility, whether the extraordinary capacity of male primates to look out for the fates of infants did not in some way pre-adapt members of this order for the sort of close, long-term relationships between males and females that, under some ecological circumstances, leads to monogamy! Either scenario could be true.
从it now seems 这里一直到句末,有疑问.感觉不知所云,希望达人出现!
GRE 难句 会的来.
额,这个句子的确让人挠头!也难怪,如果 GRE 阅读都那么容易,大家不都考高分了吗!即便是讲英语的纯种人士也未必都能一次读懂这个句子,而且能看出其结构来!
整段是个对比句式:it was assumed that.(过去——单一性伴侣和父系家庭主导孕育了男性对家庭关照的成长)和 it now seems appropriate to consider .(现在——对雄性灵长类动物的研究发现,期求掌握幼子命运的雄性能量在雌雄的亲密、长期关系方面并不完全主导父系家长的关系,却也有单一性伴侣现象).
在“现在”这一句里,你可以把中间一大段省略掉,于是就变成一个很简单的句子:it now seems appropriate to consider the alternative possibility - that leads to monogamy!Either scenario could be true.
而 the alternative possibility 就是 whether the extraordinary capacity of male primates to look out for the fates of infants did not in some way pre-adapt members of this order for the sort of close,long-term relationships between males and females.
