l 重点句子赏析：(英文+翻译+语法/特殊用法等角度分析)

句子赏析：

1. I was nervous because my parents had charged me with making sure that my sister and I played as safely and as quietly as possible.

翻译：

我特别紧张，因为父母已经叮嘱过我 一定要保证妹妹和我 玩耍的时候注意安全，不要太闹腾。

解析：这句话主语是I ,谓语是was,表语是nervous, because引导原因状语从句，状语从句里又有that引导的宾语从句。

2. What we had stumbled across is something called positive psychology, which is the reason that I'm here today and the reason that I wake up every morning.

翻译：我们当时的发现叫做积极心理学 ,这也是我今天站在这里的原因, 同时也是我每天早晨醒来的原因

解析：What we had stumbled across 是主语从句的主语，谓语动词是be动词is,后面有which引导的非限制性定语从句，定语从句里有两个并列的that引导的定语从句。

3. Not only does it make you happier, it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.

翻译：多巴胺不仅可以使你更快乐， 同时还可以打开大脑中所有的学习中心 ，让你以另一种方式来适应这个世界

解析：注意本句中not only 放在句首，句子使用倒装语序

文章结构分析：

先讲了自己童年时期与妹妹一起玩发生的一件事情，由这件事情引出演讲主题——积极心理学。

然后介绍了积极心理学这个概念。

后面通过例子进一步解释积极心理学。

提问举例：

1. Why was the author nervous when his sister fallen on the floor?

2. How does the author predict people’s long-term happiness?

3. What is happiness advantage?

参考答案：

1. I was nervous because my parents had charged me with making sure that my sister and I played as safely and as quietly as possible.

2. if I know everything about your external world, I can only predict 10 percent of your long-term happiness. 90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world.

3. If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than it does at negative, neutral or stressed.
