SAT閱讀長難句學習要點
1. In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement，historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods. 在很大程度上，由于女權主義運動的緣故，史學家近年來匯聚了大量的注意力，來更為準確地確定婦女在各個歷史時期的地位。 Focus A on B; 難句類型：倒裝
2. If one begins by examining why ancients refer to Amazons , it becomes clear that ancient Greek descriptions of such societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical fact real Amazonian societies but rather to offer moral lessons on the supposed outcome of womens rule in their own society . 如果我們先研究一下為什么古人會提到亞馬遜人，下面的一點就變得清晰了，那就是古希臘對于這種社會的廟睡不是太多的被用來表達觀察的歷史事實真正的亞麻遜社會的而是為了對于婦女在其社會中的統治的預期后果提供一種道德教導。難句類型：復雜修飾、插入語、抽象詞
3. Thus，for instance，it may come as a shock to mathematicians to learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom is not a literally correct description of this atom，but only an approximation to a somewhat more correct equation taking account of spin，magnetic dipole，and relativistic effects;and that this corrected equation is itself only an imperfect approximation to an infinite set of quantum field-theoretical equations.
因此，舉例來說，對數學家而言，了解到下述情形可能會令其驚愕不已，即薛定諤的氫原子方程式并非是對該原子作出的一種絕然正確的描述，而僅僅是個近似值，趨近于一個在某種程度上更為正確的將自旋、磁性偶極子、以及相對論效應考慮在內的方程式;而這個得以糾正的方程式就其本身而言也只是一個不完美的近似值，趨近于無窮無盡的一整套量子場論方程式。難句類型：復雜修飾、插入語、省略
4. The physicist rightly dreads precise argument，since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed，whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions.
物理學家恐懼于那些精確無誤的論據不無道理，因為某種只有在它是精確無誤的條件下才令人置信的論據，一旦它賴于建立其上的假設稍有變化，便會失去它一部的作用;而與此相反，一個盡管并不精確無誤但卻令人置信的論據，在其基本假設稍微受干擾的情況下，仍然有可能是站得住腳的。難句類型：復雜修飾
5. However，as they gained cohesion，the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a womens group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres，who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon.
起初，藍襪女們確實模仿了法國沙龍女主人，將男性襄括到其小圈子中來。然則，隨著她們獲得的凝聚力，她們漸趨將自己視作一女性團體，并擁有了一種婦女團結意識，而這種意識在法國沙龍女主人身上則蕩然無存，因為她們每個人在其自己的沙龍中自視甚高而彼此孤立隔絕開來。難句類型：復雜修飾
