研英长难句翻译真题词汇详解：（13）

长难句：it is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems,often defining as addictions what earlier,sterner generations explained as weakness of will.

重点词汇：will

■答案■

1、长难句：令人担心的是，社会越发把行为问题当作是疾病来治疗，常把更为坚强的上几代人称之为意志薄弱的行为定义成上瘾。

分析： 这是一个简单句，主干结构是it is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems,其中it作形式主语。often defining as… weakness of will是medicalizing的伴随状语。注意more and more在句中是副词，修饰medicalizing。

2、will作名词时意为“意愿；意志”，will power意为“意志力，自制力”。where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者，事竟成。）the international community needs to demonstrate its political will to end hunger.（国际社会应该拿出根除饥饿的政治意志来。）when you have the will to win,you will find the skill to win.（你要是有赢的意志，就会获得赢的技巧。） will作名词还可表示“遗愿；遗嘱”。never yielding to victorian conventions,collins had insisted upon a simple funeral in his will.(考林斯一生都不愿迎合维多利亚时代的习俗，他在遗嘱中要求在他死后只举办一个简单的葬礼。）
