1.Superagers:特别长寿之人(老寿星)


2.Resilient:适应性强的,能迅速恢复的 (褒义词)


3.Extrovert:性格外向,活泼自信的(中性或褒义);反义词:introverted (性格内向)  


4. neurotic:  神经质的 (中性或者贬义)


5. the slings and arrows of life:(这是莎士比亚的台词来自于哈姆雷特的 to be or not to be 这一幕,常常为后人所引用。)生活的刀枪箭雨 


主干识别:


Studies show that+宾语从句


切分成分:


superagers appear to be more resilient to the slings and arrows of life, and are more extroverted and less neurotic (宾语从句)


其中动词并列:appear to be 和 are 


参考译文:研究显示,“超级老人”更容易从生活的刀枪箭雨中恢复过来,性格更外向、更不那么神经质。但他们也有另一项发现。


阅读提示:“更容易从生活的刀枪箭雨中恢复过来,性格更外向、更不那么神经质”可能是这些老人神采奕奕,认知能力和年轻人一样的原因。但是后面的发现才是文章的重点。往后读就是文章的主题。这就是阅读的套路。
