　　3.They found that after a surprise departure，the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%.(2011.閱讀Text 1)

　　【例句譯文】他們發(fā)現在意外離任后，其所在公司隨后必須重述盈余的概率增加了近兩成。

　　【例句分析】主句為They found that……that引導賓語從句，賓語從句的主謂賓為the probability incresed by 20%，that the company will have to restate earnings作定語從句修飾probability.

　　4.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks，even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred.(2011.閱讀Text 1)

　　【例句譯文】不過研究者相信，如果外部董事在不良消息出現之前離開公司，他們將能更輕松地避免自己的名聲受損，即便歷史回顧表明錯誤正是發(fā)生在他們擔任董事期間，情況也是如此。

　　【例句分析】同例句2結構相似，本復合句的重點在從句。主句為But the researchers believe that賓語從句，從句中又包括主句和從句，主句為outside directors have an easier time……，even if a review of history shows……為讓步狀語從句。從句的主句中還包含if引導的條件狀語從句，而even if從句中同樣包含從句，shows后they were on the board是賓語從句，at the time則引導時間狀語從句。
