托福听力长难句分析(八)

 托福听力长难句分析是考试当中的一个难点，但是想要听力获得7分及以上，这一点确实必须攻克，本期新通教育老师继续为大家分享托福听力长难句解析，希望能给同学们的托福备考带来帮助。

同学们在学习的过程中，最头疼的就是句子的理解，尤其是长难句。但是相对于阅读文本来说，听力的问题其实是比较简答的，我们在理解句子的时候基本只要考划分句子的主干成分，配合一些短语搭配就可以了，但是关键是要求我们的反应速度要非常的快，我们现在就具体以TPO中的句子为例，来分析一下长难句。(TPO1-L4)

Also they live in open fields where there is lots of edible vegetation. So roughly six weeks after birth, Eastern marmots are just old enough to take their chances of surviving in the temperate environment.

此外他们住在盛产可食植被的空旷地区。所以在出生的六周之后，东部土拨鼠就足够成熟了，可以试着在这个温暖的环境中生存。

Since the climate’s not too bad, the Eastern marmots don't have to rely on each other too much and they really don't need to stay together as a family to survive either.

因为气候还不错，东部土拨鼠没有必要过于依赖彼此，也没有必要以家庭为单位而存在。

They live together as a family and take care of their young until they are at least two years old.

他们则以家庭为单位过着群居的生活，同时照顾幼鼠知道他们长到两岁。

So their social behavior is so different from Eastern marmots because of the climate where they live? That seems so bizarre.

他们的行为跟东部土拨鼠是完全不一样的，难道是因为气候原因造成了他们社会行为的不同?这种看法看上去很荒谬。

Well, the Olympic marmots inhabit meadows high in the Olympic Mountains where the weather conditions are much harsher.

事实上，奥利匹克土拨鼠栖息的草地在奥林匹克山脉的高低，那里的气候条件要恶劣的多。

So there is a lot more wind and snow. The growing season only lasts about two to three months.

风雪也比东部多，生长期只持续两到三个月

So in that much shorter period of time, all the Olympic marmots, male and female, eat, play, work and nurture the young together.

所以，在这相对短的多的时间里，所有的奥林匹克土拨鼠都会在一起玩耍、劳作和养育幼鼠，不分雌雄。

Because the climate is so harsh, cooperation increases the survival rate of the Olympic marmots.

因为气候恶劣，合作能提高奥利匹克土拨鼠的存活率。

They keep their young at home until they are physically able to survive on their own.

他们会养育幼鼠，直到幼鼠能够自食其力。

This could explain why the social behavior of the Olympic marmots is so unlike that of the Eastern marmots.

这就能解释为什么奥林匹克土拨鼠的社会习性和东部土拨鼠的会如此不同。

我们后面还会继续讲解lecture中的长难句。如果这部分对同学们来说是难点，大家可以持续关注我们的讲解，希望同学们能够从新通教育老师的分享当中，获得对张常宁那就切分的技巧。如果铜须麽恩备考时间比较紧张，或者基础薄弱，可以通过来提升自己。
