復(fù)雜的賓語從句以及表語從句的拆分和理解 例67

例67　Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】句子的主干是個(gè)被動(dòng)語態(tài)，主語是Economists，動(dòng)詞是have been surprised by，賓語是favorable inflation figures，后面是介詞短語是in Britain and the United States，后面是個(gè)原因狀語從句，也就是since conventional measures suggest...，狀語從句里面套上賓語從句，也就是that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于狀語從句套上賓語從句，從句套從句很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

economists　經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們

favorable inflation figures　有利的通貨膨脹數(shù)據(jù)

conventional measures　傳統(tǒng)的計(jì)量方法

productive slack　生產(chǎn)蕭條

【參考譯文】經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們對(duì)英國(guó)和美國(guó)的有利的通貨膨脹數(shù)據(jù)尤其感到驚訝，因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)的計(jì)量方法顯示兩國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)，特別是美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)，幾乎沒有生產(chǎn)蕭條的時(shí)候。
