2018考研英语：长难句练习及解析（16）

Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.

　　【核心词汇】

　　convince v.使确信，使信服

　　injurious a.有害的

　　intellect n.智力，知识分子

　　character n.品质，特征

　　taste n.味道，品味

　　【结构分析】主干是Darwin was convinced that ，宾语从句是一个由not only...but 连接的并列句，且but之后是由and连接的有一个并列句，and后省略了部分成分，补全应该是“might more probably be injurious to the moral character”。

　　【参考译文】达尔文认为，失去这些品味，不仅失去了幸福，还可能损伤智力，甚至更可能对道德品质有害。考研
