《红宝书》考研英语词汇
每日一句
Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awaking, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day.
词汇突破
progress [ˈprɑːɡres; ˈprɑːɡrəs]
n. 进步，发展；前进
vi. 前进，进步；进行
结构分析
本句主干结构是：Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night。现在分词短语 progressing toward happier ones 作伴随状语，before awaking 由 before people are awaking 简化而来，作时间状语。现在分词短语 suggesting that 作伴随状语，其中 suggesting 后又接了一个由 that 引导的宾语从句。
参考译文
大多数人似乎在晚上的早些时候会做更多不好的梦，而在即将醒来前会逐渐做愉快一些的梦，这表明人们正在克服白天的负面情绪。
