结构分析:
主干识别:The pursuit of private interests was seen as the road to human happiness and progress.
其他成分:with as little interference as possible from government 状语
rather than the public obligation and involvement in the collective community that emphasized by the Greeks.状语
难点解析:最难的就是第一个状语的语序,其实如果看句子比较多的同学你会发现这种用法基本是种习惯用法了,我来帮你调一下语序:
with as little interference as possible from government=
with interference from government as little as possible
这样就懂了吧。
在真题中有这样一个结构:
in as obvious a manner as possible
试着调整一下语序;
参考译文: 在尽可能少的ZF干预下追求个人利益被看作为通往人类幸福和进步的道路, 而不是希腊人所强调的集体社会中的公共义务与参与。
