每日一句

Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.(2010, Reading Comprehension, Part A Text 2)

词汇

curb: n. 限制，抑制
claim: n. 声明，要求（文中指专利申请）；获得
dramatic: adj. 戏剧性的；突然的，巨大的；引人注目的
pool:

• v. 集中（金钱、资源等）
• n. 池塘，水池
  mutual-fund: 共同基金

第一步：找谓语

Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.

第二步：断句

原句中存在3个谓语动词，包含3件事，也就是可以断开为三句：

• would be所在句子为主句，从文章开头到第一个逗号结束
• was所在句子为强调句式：it was …… that
• introduced所在句子为原因状语从句，从引导词because开始到文章末尾结束

在原因状语从句中包含了一个强调句式，因此原因状语从句不需要进行二次断句，现在我们就将原文断开为了两句：

• Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face,
• because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.

其中 it was the Federal Circuit itself that为原因状语从句中的强调部分，用于强调从句主语；

第三步：简化

主句

Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face

• 名词curbs为主句主语
• 介词短语：on business-method claims为主语的后置定语，用于解释说明主语curbs
  • 复合名词：business-method 为名词 claims的前置定语，用于修饰名词claims
• 谓语动词：would be为情态动词+系动词，因此主句为主系表结构，表示对未来的推测或假设
• 不定冠词：a与形容词dramatic用于修饰复合名词about-face
• 复合名词：about-face为主句表语

去掉句子扩展成分后就得到了主句的核心：

• Curbs …… would be …… about-face —— 限制……将会……转变

原因状语从句

because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.

• because为从句引导词，为从句核心
• it was the Federal Circuit itself that……为强调句式，用于强调从句主语，为句子核心
  • the Federal Circuit itself为从句主语
  • 定冠词the修饰名词Federal Circuit
  • itself为名词的同位语，用于强调主语Federal Circuit
• 限定词：such用于修饰名词patents
• 名词：patents为从句宾语
• 介词短语：with its 1998 decision……approving……为伴随状语，用于修饰谓语introduced
  • 宾格：its 与时间1998共同修饰名词decision，说明decision的时间
• 介词短语：in the so-called State Street Bank case为名词decision的后置定语，解释说明decision的范围
• 不定冠词：a 用于修饰名词patent
• 介词短语：on a way 为后置定语，用于说明patent
• 介词短语：of pooling mutual-fund assets.为名词way的后置定语，解释说明way
  • 非谓语动词pooling与复合名词mutual-fund共同修饰名词assets

去掉句子扩展成分后，就得到了句子的核心：

• because it was …… Federal Circuit …… that introduced …… patents ……——正是因为联邦巡回法院引入了……专利
