1.Themotherboarddeliversahostofnewfeaturesandlatesttechnologies,makingitanotherstandoutinthelonglineofASUSqualitymotherboards!

分析:“ahostof”意為許多,“makingitanotherstandoutinthelonglineofASUSqualitymotherboards”表示現(xiàn)代分詞短語作伴隨狀語。

句意:添加了許多嶄新功能與高端技術(shù),使得本主板成為華碩優(yōu)質(zhì)主板產(chǎn)品線中另一顆閃亮之星。

2.TheadvancedprocessingtechnologycontainstwophysicalCPUcoreswithindividuallydedicatedL2cachetosatisfytherisingdemandformorepowerfulprocessingcapability.

分析:“demandfor”意為對……的需要,需要,“demandof”意為索取,向……要求,使用時要注意區(qū)分兩者的差別。

句意:此最高級的處理器技術(shù)包含兩塊物理CPU核,它們有各自專用的L2緩存，以滿足日益增長的對處理能力的需求。

3.TheSATAspecificationallowsforthinner,moreflexiblecableswithlowerpincount,reducedvoltagerequirement,andupto300MB/sdatatransferrate.

分析:“reducedvoltagerequirement”過去分詞短語在句中作定語,修飾名詞短語。

句意:SATA技術(shù)規(guī)格采用更細更靈活的線纜,針腳數(shù)更少,從而降低了對電壓的需求,而且數(shù)據(jù)傳輸速度高達300MB/s。

4.ThemotherboardfullysupportsPCIExpress,thelatestI/OinterconnecttechnologythatspeedsupthePCIbus.

分析:“thelatestI/Ointerconnecttechnology”作同位語。that引導(dǎo)的是一個定語從句。

句意:此主板完整地支持最新的I/O接口技術(shù)——PCIExpress,能大大提高PCI總線的傳輸速度。

5.ThisfeatureallowsyoutorestoretheoriginalBIOSdatafromthesupportCDincasewhentheBIOScodesanddataarecorrupted.

分析:“incase”意為萬一,是連詞,引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。如:Wehaveanauxiliarygenerator

incaseofpowercuts.(我們有一臺萬一斷電時使用的備用發(fā)電機。)

句意:當BIOS代碼和數(shù)據(jù)遭到破壞時,本功能允許用戶用附贈的技術(shù)支持CD恢復(fù)BIOS原始數(shù)據(jù)。Exercises
