2018屠屠考研英語長難句 一日一句(107)

107. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the origin and evolution of universe and life.

【句式分析】

該句的主幹是The goal will be to try to explain...，explain後接的是雙賓語，即explain to sb. sth.，直接賓語是that引導的從句。該從句的主幹是there are not two theories for...，其中origin和evolution，universe和life都是and連接的並列名詞。

【譯文賞析】

所有這些的目的是試圖告訴那些迷惑不解且常常頭腦不開化的普通百姓：就宇宙和生命的起源與發展問題而言，不可能存在兩種同樣成立的科學理論。
