谈及插入语从句在这里就会自然的提出两个问题。第一，间隔的位置一般位于什么哪里?第二，插入语一般由什么东西构成? u>E+HxUJ
在文章中看得最多的情况就是 ZQ:Y5 ph
1) 主谓分隔：Rose, a young American poet, is brilliant. (被同位语隔开) UvI!e 4_
Susan, I suppose, finds the right way to go.(被插入语隔开) OU+*@2")t
2) 复合谓语分隔：You might at least offer to help. (被状语隔开) jQDxbkIuzE
3) 动宾分隔：They estimated in the newspaper the costs of health care.(被状语隔开) HI?>]zz|
4) 固定搭配分隔：They thought in a systematic way about the problems.(被状语隔开) #7>CLjI
5) 连词与后续部分分隔 )Ga6O2

比如，What is hard to establish is whether the productivity revolution that the business assume they are presiding over is for real.中they are presiding over 就是一个主谓结构的插入语，隔开了主谓部分。 1-n0"lP~4

另外，这种情况在翻译真题出的频率也很高：Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind.在这里in its strongest form这个介词短语讲定于从句的引导词与定从隔开了。 x:x QXjJ
自然而然，第二个问题来了，到底什么东西做插入语呢? 5Zov< +kE

首先要说明一点就是插入语的成分问题，它是一个对句子的内容补充、添加、限制或者解释说明，并不是句子的独立语法成分，在阅读时可以跳读来把握句子整体结构。 :uEp7Y4
一般说来由以下三个层面来做插入语， ,?qS#B+>
第一从词的层面比如副词：consequently, however,等。This view, however, seems to be wrong. K+\hv~+@
第二个层面短语 c>g%oE
如不定式短语to tell you the truth, to be frank等，或者for example也是 +M*a.ra0OF
Mr. McWhorter’s academic specialty is language history and change, he sees the gradual disappear of “whom”, for example, to be natural……这个地方for example 所处的位置阻碍了同学们对于这个宾语和宾补的理解，增加了该句的难度，而这一点往往是考研的重点。 >O

第三个层面就是句子层面了，比如as we know it, what we call it [=Z{y8#:J
