第021句

There was no sign that Mr. Johnson, who keeps a firm control on the party despite from having **resigned ** leadership of it, would intervene personally.

译文：约翰逊先生虽然已辞去领导职务，但一直控制着政党，然而并没有迹象表明他会亲自干预政权。

点睛：that引导的足sign的同位语从句，用于具体说明sign。who引导的是以Mr. Johnson为先行词的定语从句，其中despite from...为该从句的状语。

考点归纳：同位语从句的常见用法如下：

• 直接跟在名词之后，由that引导，that不可省略。

There is no doubt that you are a scholar.
毫无疑问，你是位学者。

• 有时不直接跟在名词之后。

The news got about that you had won a car in the lottery.
有消息传开说你彩票中奖得了一辆汽车．

• 可由连接代词或连接副词引导。

You have no idea how worried your parents were.
你不知道你父母有多担心。

第022句

So involved with their computers do the children become that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games.

译文：孩子们太沉迷于电脑，使得计算机夏令营的领导们不得不常常强迫他们停下来做运动、玩游戏。

点睛：由于so位于句首，句子后面用助动词do构成了部分倒装的形式。在that引导的从句中，at summer computer camps作leaders的后置定语，for sports and games作break的目的状语。

考点归纳：当一些含限定或否定意义的副词和副词短语，为了表示强调而置于句首时，句子要主谓倒装，常见的此类副词和副词短语有：

hardly ever on no account
hardly...when only by
in no circumstances only in this way
neither / nor only then
never scarcely ever
no sooner...than not only
seldom not until
so nowhere

第023句

Continued exposure to stress has been linked to worsened functioning of the immune system, leaving a person more liable to infection.

译文：持续处于压力之下和免疫系统功能的弱化存在着某种关联，免疫系统功能的弱化使人更容易受到感染。

点睛：动词过去分词continued和worsened分别为名词exposure和动名词functioning的定语，表示一种被动关系。现在分词短语leaving…作句子的伴随状语，其中more liable to.…作person的补语，表示“更容易…”。

第024句

The ideal listener stays both inside and outside the music at the moment it is played and enjoys it almost as much as the composer at the moment he composes.

译文：理想的听众在音乐演奏的时候既融入其中，又置身其外，几乎就像作曲家作曲时那样享受音乐。

点睛：两个at the moment引导的都是时间状语从句。stays和enjoys为句中并列的谓语动词。比较结构as much as.比较了听众和作曲家对音乐的欣赏程度。句中的两个it指代的都是music．he指代的是composer。

第025句

One sign that you are making progress in an art such as painting or photography is that you begin to realize how much there is to learn.

译文：你在诸如绘画或摄影这样的艺术上取得进步的标志之一是：你开始意识到有很多东西要学习。

点睛：该句中两个that所引导的从句有所不同：第一个that引导的是sign的同位语从句，其中such as…用以举例说明art的具体形式。第二个that引导的是表语从句，其中how much引导的是realize的宾语从句。
