关于英语阅读基本功—长难句过关

Exercise

Americans admire the self-made personthe one who, with neither money nor family influence, fights his or her way to the top.

Silly or wise, terrible or delightful, it is a further helping of experience, an additional joy after dark, another slice of life cut differently for which, it seems to me, we are never sufficiently grateful.

Quite a different problem, but one that is causing growing concern, is that computers may violate peoples privacy.

要点分析和参考译文

要点：破折号后的the one是前面person的同位语，the one后面又有一个由who引导的.定语从句，其中主语和谓语之间有一个插入语：with neither money nor family influence.

参考译文：美国人钦佩靠个人奋斗而成功的人士：这种人既没有金钱也没有家庭背景，靠自己的奋斗攀登到最上层。

要点：Silly or wise, terrible or delightful为平行结构，在句中作让步状语。另外句子的表语也是平行结构a further helping of experience, an additional joy after darkit seems to me为插入语，插入到for which引导的定语从句中。

参考译文：不管是愚蠢还是聪明，可怕还是愉悦，梦中的生活都是更深一层的另外一种体验，是天黑以后才有的另一种欢乐，是生活另一个不同的侧面，对此我似乎觉得怎么感激也不为过。
