新东方考研英语必背500句

第055句

creating a "european identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice.

译文:不同的文化和传统组成了连接欧洲这个古老的大陆的纽带,而要创造出一种尊重这些不同文化和传统的“欧洲身份”绝非易事,需要人们做出战略性的抉择。

点睛:句子的主语是creating...the old continent,其中that引导的是以“european identity”为先行词的定语从句,该从句中又包含which引导的以cultures and traditions为先行词的定语从句。is和demands是整句话的并列谓语。

考点归纳:短语make up在该句中意为“构成”,此外,它还有以下义项:

*编造(说法、解释等)
i think she's making the whole thing up.
