问答题
Green space facilities are contributing to an
important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no
longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to
start with the proof of this idea. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}}
{{/U}}{{U}}At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident
statement than on the basis of a closely-reasoned scientific proof.{{/U}} The
recognition of the importance of green space in the urban environment is a first
step on the right way. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}This does
not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of
green space in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these
spaces.{{/U}} As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this
lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of green
space facilities. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}}
{{/U}}{{U}}The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation
which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my
opirli0n resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from
home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of
recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home.{{/U}} {{U}}
{{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}We have come to the conclusion that this is
not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in
sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home.{{/U}} So it is
obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the
house. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The urban
environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the
design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a
recreative aspect.{{/U}} The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not
possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be
allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if
during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice
weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of
your house is closed after you.
【正确答案】这在目前是得到公认的,尽管是个人见证的论述,而较少有严谨的科学推理作为证据的基础。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子框架是it is generally accepted,although…。主句中代词it代指前句内容it is no longer necessary that…this idea(有关这一主题的所有演讲或书籍不必用支持这一观念的证据开头了)。although引导让步状语从句,省略了主语和谓语,补充完整为although it is generally accepted more as a self-evident statement than on the basis of a closely reasoned scientific proof。more…than…结构意为“不是…,而是…;与其说…,倒不如说…”。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子框架是This does not mean…that…。that引导的宾语从句作mean的宾语。从句中的被动结构be known译成主动句,加译泛指性的主语“我们”。句尾的介词短语about the way中又嵌套一个介词in加关系代词which引导的定语从句,修饰the way。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子框架是The theoretical separation…has…resulted…,whereas there was…attention…。whereas连接两个并列句。前一个并列分句中又嵌套一个which 引导的定语从句;far from home为形容词短语作后置定语修饰forms of recreation,相当于forms of recreation that are far from home;后一个并列分句为there be句型。disproportionate译为“不相称的,不适度的”;recreative possibilities译成“可能进行的娱乐”。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子框架是We have come to the conclusion…,because…。because引导原因状语从句修饰主句。主句中又有that引导的同位语从句作conclusion的同位语。because引导的原因状语从句中又嵌套一个which引导的定语从句修饰the time。
【答案解析】[解析] 句子框架是The urban environment has to offer…,and the design…has to be…。and引导两个并列句。and后的并列分句中such that…结构译为“如此以致…”;the design of these中these指代前面分句的The urban environment;obligatory意为“必须的,强制性的”。
