《红宝书》考研英语词汇
每日一句
Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership —— that is, it predicted the opposite.
词汇突破:
negatively [ˈneɡətɪvli]
adv. 消极地;否定地
correlate [ˈkɒrələt]
vi. 关联
vt. 使有相互关系;互相有关系
n. 相关物;相关联的人
结构分析:
该句子由 but 连接了两个并列句。在第一个分句中,主干结构是 Research has found that...,后接 when 引导的状语从句。在第二个分句中,主干结构是 IQ was negatively correlated with leadership,后接补充成分。
参考译文:
研究发现,当测试在低压力条件下进行时,智商可以预测领导能力,但在高压力条件下,智商与领导能力呈负相关——也就是说,它预测的结果正好相反。
