托福听力长难句分析(十三)

 同学们在学习托福听力的过程中，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。(TPO2-L3)

What Aristotle’s ethical theory is all about is this: he’s trying to show you how to be happy—what true happiness is.

亚里士多德的伦理学主要讲的是，什么是幸福，他在告诉你如何变的幸福快乐。

Let me introduce a couple of technical terms: extrinsic value and intrinsic value. To understand Aristotle’s interest in happiness, you need to understand this distinction.

我先引入两个专业术语：外在价值和内在价值。想要了解亚里士多德为什么对幸福感兴趣，你得先会区分这两个术语。

Some things we aim for and value, not for themselves but for what they bring about in addition to themselves.

我们追寻和看重的事物，不该是事物本身，而是由他带来的附加价值。

If I value something as a means to something else, then it has what we will call “extrinsic value.” Other things we desire and hold to be valuable for themselves alone.

如果我将一个事物看成是另一个事物的途径，那么这个事物拥有我们所说的外在价值。而其他事物，我们渴望得到或拥有就其本身而言有价值。

If we value something not as a means to something else, but for its own sake, let us say that it has “intrinsic value.”

如果我们不将一个事物看成是获得另外一个事物的途径，而只是为了得到该事物本身，我们可以说他拥有内在价值。

Exercise. There may be some people who value exercise for itself, but I don’t. I value exercise because if I exercise, I tend to stay healthier than I would if I didn’t.

拿锻炼来说，或许有一些人看重的是锻炼本身，到那时我不是这么想的。我之所以看重锻炼是因为如果我锻炼，我会比不锻炼更加健康。

So I desire to engage in exercise and I value exercise extrinsically . . . not for its own sake, but as a means to something beyond it. It brings me good health.

显然我并不是为了锻炼而锻炼，而是将它看成是我达成其背后价值的一种途径。他能使我健康。

So to some degree I value health both for itself and as a means to something else: productivity. It’s got extrinsic and intrinsic value for me.

所以在一定程度上，我看重健康的本身的同事也将其看成是获得其他东西的途径：生产率。对我来说健康基友外在价值又有内在价值。
