19考研英語：屠屠長難句（五十四）

1每日一句長難句
The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left——all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.

2【結構分析】
本句長度一般，但是結構混亂。for example插入語，The Aswan Dam主語，謂語是but引導的並列結構stopped…. but deprived…。that floods left是定語從句修飾silt。破折號後面是解釋說明，which引導定語從句修飾a giant reservoir of disease，而其中so…that…構成固定結構。

3【詞彙】
deprive…of… 剝奪
fertile 肥沃的
silt 淤泥
in return for 置換
generate 產生--->generate electricity 發電

4【參考譯文】
例如，阿斯旺大壩使得尼羅河不再洪水氾濫，但是它也奪去了埃及洪水留下的肥沃淤泥——這些換來的就是這麼個疾病滋生的水庫，現在這個水庫積滿了淤泥，幾乎不能發電了。

5【明日長難句】
The teachers who took part in the program also told me of their worries that they might be force-feeding their pupils information rather than stimulating the discussion necessary to ensure they grasped the importance to them of what they were being taught.
