《政治理论马克思主义基本原理(哲学、政经)重难点分析》
10. Shortlists for job interviews,election ballot papers,lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically,and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.
【译文】 求职面试、选举投票、会议发言或参加会议等诸多名单,都是按字母表顺序排序的。当人们顺着名单费劲找人时兴趣也会变得索然了。
【析句】 该句由两个分句组成,第一个分句是all tend to be drawn up alphabetically,第二个分句是and their recipients… plough through them。冒号前的三个名词短语(Shortlists… speakers and attendees)是第一个分句主语all的同位语。在第二个分句中,as引导一个时间状语从句。
11. When it comes to the slowing economy,Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. But the 47 year old manicurist isn't cutting,filling or polishing as many nails as she'd like to,either.
【译文】 谈到经济增长减缓时,艾琳·斯派罗还不至于咬指甲。但是,这位四十七岁的美甲师也不能如其所愿地修剪、锉磨、上油那么多的指甲了。
【析句】 第一个句子是一个主从复合句,主句是Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet,从句是When it comes to the slowing economy。第二个句子和第一个句子以 but分开,表明二者之间是转折关系。
12. “I'm a good economic indicator,” she says,“I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars.”
【译文】 她说:“我是个不错的经济晴雨表。在人们操心攒钱的时候,我提供的服务就变成可有可无了。”
【析句】 本句比较简单,但是必须了解do without这个词组的含意。do without意为“免除,不用”,或者“没有……也可以;在没有某物的情况下设法完成”,例如:There was no television on the island,but we soon learned to do without.(岛上没有电视,可不久我们就适应了。)
