Sentence Explanations
1.The power of a well-designed search
interface applied to a highly-indexed database
becomes apparent,when,for example,a single
keyword such as "manager" retrieves all related
content with-out requiring the searcher to antici-
pate possible synonyms,such as "white collar
workers," or "super-visors," etc.
Lesson Eleven
例如, 在不要求搜索者预先想到可
能搜索出的同义词, 如, 白领工
人,,, 管理者, 等情况下, 键入
,经理, 这样一个单独的关键词,
想要搜索出所有相关信息, 一种精
心设计用于高端索引数据库的搜索
界面就充分显示出其威力来了 。
Lesson Eleven
这是一个复合句, 主句在前面, 简化为:
The power becomes apparent,过去分词短语
applied to a highly-indexed database做定语,
修饰 inter-face。 when引起一个时间状语从
句,简化为,when a single keyword retrieves
all related content,介词 without引起一个短语,
做状语,修饰谓语动词 retrieves,动名词
requiring引起的短语做介词 without的宾语 。
Lesson Eleven
2,Ultimately,whether something is right on
target,or only slightly interesting remains in the
eye of the beholder,while it is certainly
legitimate to browse to see "what's out there,"
more often a searcher needs to maximize
research time by finding sites that contain
information that is highly relevant to their
specific needs.
Lesson Eleven
不管某些东西是非常切合目标的信息
还是在旁观者眼中无足轻重的资料,
尽管浏览 "what's out there"是无可非议
的, 最终, 搜索者往往还得需要极大
地扩展其搜索时间, 寻找最大量含有
其所需信息的网站 。
Lesson Eleven
主句是 a searcher needs to maximize research
time。 whether… or引起一个让步状语从句 。
while引起一个让步状语从句 。 by引起的介词
短语做状语, 修饰谓语动词 needs。 finding
sites that contain information that is highly
relevant to their specific needs动名词短语做 by
的宾语, 内含两个由 that引起的定语从句 。 第
一个定语从句修饰 sites, 第二个修饰
information。

Advertisement Writing (II)
● 广告正文 ( BODY COPY)
广告的目标和内容主要是通过广告正文
来传递的 。 它与标题的关系是:标题吸引
注意, 正文进行说服;标题提出问题, 正
文进行回答 。 怎样写好广告正文, 并无固
定模式, 协作体裁也是多种多样 。 总之,
要求做到重点突出, 简明易懂, 生动形象,
有说服力 。
Lesson Eleven
由于广告是要计费的 ( 公益广告除外 ),
从这个角度上说, 英文广告在写法上大致
有两类 。 一类是不将注意力放在紧缩版面
上, 而是在渲染力上下工夫 。 此类广告多
用句子表示, 更注意修辞 。 另一类着眼于
利用最小的版面, 容纳最多的信息量 。 从
而既达到传达信息的目的, 又节省了版面
费用 。 此类广告多用名词或名词性词组,
短语来表示, 并常使用缩写词 。

Lesson Eleven
注意, 这类广告正文中的开头部分, 也叫
做引言 ( LEAD-IN PAREGRAPH OR THE

者心理, 诱导读者继续阅读 。

what’s on her face.

文的主体部分叙述了该容器的诸多优点, 生动,
具体, 很有说服力 。
Lesson Eleven
正文中的结束语 ( CLOSING SENTENCE) 也很
重要 。 它一般比较简短, 精炼, 具有很强的感染
力和号召力 。 它的目的在于用最打动人心的语句
来敦促读者立即响应号召, 采取行动 。
