英语长难句 [041]

序号 041

Rarely a week goes by without Pierre justifying his constant presence in my teaching space and, despite the intentionally whimsical air of much of the above, I would heartily and unreservedly recommend every physics teacher who is not currently in possession of a favourite rock to make it a priority to locate one at their earliest convenience.

3. 语法亮点

  1. 双重否定强调频率： Rarely… without… 结构强化"Pierre每周都被证明有用"的持续性。
  2. 拟人化修辞： Pierre justifying his presence 赋予岩石人格特征，延续前文命名的情感联结（注：前文提到岩石被命名为Pierre）。
  3. 正式建议句式： would heartily and unreservedly recommend 使用副词堆叠（heartily + unreservedly）体现强烈且专业的建议态度。
  4. 商务信函用语迁移： at their earliest convenience 常见于正式信函，此处幽默地用于"找石头"的建议，制造反差感。

4. 翻译参考

几乎每周，Pierre都能证明它常驻我的教学场所是合理的。尽管前文多有戏谑之意，我仍要诚挚且毫无保留地建议：每位尚未拥有’爱石’的物理教师，应尽早将寻找一块这样的石头列为优先事项。

5. 👣 One More Step

Seldom does a day pass without my vintage calculator demonstrating its irreplaceable role in teaching logarithmic functions, and notwithstanding its antiquated appearance, I would emphatically urge every mathematics educator lacking such a tangible teaching aid to procure one posthaste.

翻译： 几乎每一天，我的复古计算器都会展示它在我讲授对数函数中的不可替代性，尽管它外观陈旧，我仍然强烈建议每位缺乏这种实物教学工具的数学教育工作者尽快购买一台。
