被敲击时,产生几乎纯质的音调,其音量经久不衰。
分解:
音叉被敲击时
When it is struck,
1)when…引导一个时间状语从句
2)“音叉”(tuning fork)这个概念,最好用在主句,从句里用 it 替代即可
3)“被敲击”,敲击用“strike”或“hit”都可以;请注意被动语态:be struck
2)产生几乎纯质的音调
…,a tuning fork produces an almost pure tone,…
1)这是主句,主谓宾结构
2)谓语动词“产生”,用 produce
3)“纯质的”=“纯净的、纯洁的”,用 pure
4)音调:tone
3)其音量经久不衰。
…, retaining its pitch over a long period of time.
1)这是“现在分词短语”作伴随状语
2)“经久不衰”就是“长时间保持其音高”=retaining(保持)its(其)pitch(音高)over a long period of time(长时间地)
整合:
When it is struck, a tuning fork produces an almost pure tone, retaining its pitch over a long period of time.
