GRE,GMAT,SAT經典長難句(31/50)

However, as they gained cohesion, the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a women’s group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres, who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon. 

資料來源：GMAT考古題

解析：

第一：however, 出現表示跟上一句話的邏輯相反，這裡先劇透一下，本句話在說BS這團體是很凝聚的，這樣就帶表however前面的那句話應該是說其他團體很不凝聚。這就是however出現的作用。

第二：as they gained cohesion，這當中as=when，代名詞they＝ the Bluestockings

第三：主句構就這樣而已，the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a women’s group and to possess a sense of female solidarity，solidarity後面的都是修飾語，所以這個主結構由and帶出兩個重點，第一是視他們自己為女團，第二是擁有女性團結感。然而我覺得這裡come to其實可以不用，直接去掉並不影響文章結構，又是一個賺稿費的方式。然後我們如果在把上面那句話as they gained cohesion加進來考慮，會發現有cohesion，group，solidarity這三個字的共同邏輯根本就是『一起』的意思，所以可以知道這句話就是在講ＢＳ這團體就是很有向心力凝聚力。

第四：其實上面看完就可以接著看下一句話了，之後修飾語都不是什麼重點，a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres，這句話是關係代名詞限定用法的省略方式，先行詞是a sense of female solidarity，然後後面還原應該是which lack in the salonnieres，所以就是形容這個sense是salonnieres所沒有的。

然後第五： the salonnieres, who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon. 這句, who remained isolated…這邊卡一個關係代名詞的非限定用法，有逗點的關係代名詞子句表示和前面的先行詞成『等號』關係。大致翻譯就是：salonnieres就是那個維持隔離的主人

第六：the primacy each held in her own salon.這裡最後再來個關係帶名詞限定用法來結尾，還原就是the primacy which was each held in her own salon，當中her代名詞等於salonnieres的這人，大致上就是覺得自己很屌很牛Ｂ就是了。

補充：【每日一英文筆記】關係代名詞限定用法VS.非限定用法-『逗號』的差異

邏輯：

Bluestockings是cohesion，group，solidarity

然而salonnieres是 isolated

翻譯：

However, as they gained cohesion, the Bluestockings came to regard themselves as a women’s group and to possess a sense of female solidarity lacking in the salonnieres, who remained isolated from one another by the primacy each held in her own salon. 

然而，當藍襪團體成員間具備凝聚力時，他們就覺得他們像是個女性團體並且擁有沙龍派對主人所沒有的女性團結感，反觀這些沙龍派對主人在她們自己的沙龍店裡，她們一樣維持著個人與個人是互相隔離且自視甚高，各持己見的狀態。

單字：

Cohesion (n.) 聚合力=adherence / attachment 

Cohesive (adj.) 有聚合力的= united / coherent / clinging / adhesive 

Solidarity (n.) 團結一致= consolidation / camaraderie / unity / unification / harmony 

possess (v.) 擁有＝own / acquire / bear / hold / occupy / carry / enjoy 

＃：salonnieres.  

原意：A salonniere is a party host. The term was first used to describe the women in 17th and 18th century France who hosted parties—called salons—in their homes to celebrate and promote the most important writers, philosophers, and artists of the day.
