Long Sentence

[1]It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful ,provocative magazine cover

story ,“ ILove My Children ,I Hate My Life ,” is arousing much chatter__nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling ,life-enriching experience.

[Analysis]本句话可以分为两部分，破折号前，It’s no surprise后是that引导的主语

从句，it为形式主语，从句的主干是Jennifer Senior’s cover story is arousing much chatter; 破折号后，主干是nothing gets people talking like the suggestion；That 引导同位语从句说明suggestion的具体内容

[Vocabulary]insightful 有深刻见解的，富有洞察力的

provocative 刺激的，挑拨的，气人的 rear 培养，树立，栽种

[Translation]詹妮弗.西尼尔见解独到、极具争议的封面故事《我爱我的孩子，我

[2]But it’s interesting wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parent-hood aren’t in some small, subconscious way

contributing to our own dissatisfaction with the actual experience ,in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer .

[Analysis]本句的主干是it’s interesting wonder...句中it为形式主语，真正主语为不

定式to wonder ...;if引导宾语从句，作wonder的宾语，其主干为the images aren’t contributing to our own dissatisfaction,而we see every week 是省略了that 的定语从句，修饰images; In the same way后的that引导同位语从句，补充说明way ,而getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer省略了引导词that，作hope的宾语。

[Vocabulary]subconscious 潜意识的，下意识的

[Translation]但是有趣的是，我们也会疑惑：我们中有很多人希望通过模仿瑞秋而

变得和现实中的詹妮弗相像一样，每周出现在杂志封面的那些没有压力、幸福感十足的明星父母形象，就真的没有无形中导致我们对自身现实生活的不满吗？（注：詹妮弗，美国著名女演员，热播情景喜剧《老友记》中“瑞秋”的扮演者）。

[3]It is difficult to the point impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty

[Analysis]句子主干是：It is difficult to for the average reader to image a time .It is adj

for sb to do sth是英语中的常见句型，意思为“对某人来说，做某事比较...”,it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的to do不定式；to the point of impossibility 修饰形容词difficult ,表示困难的程度；when引导定语从句，修饰先行词a time。

主干为：How ...is not obvious。在主语从句中主语是capacity ,谓语是suits,宾语是one ;状语为to answer ...主语后加上两个动词不定式做后置定语；动词不定式中的宾语questions后面接一个that 引导的定语从句。

[Vocabulary]suit 适合，使适应
