例10 If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
【結構分析】這句話開始是個條件句,也就是If it did,主干是個并列句,第一句話的主語是it,動詞是would open up,賓語是its diversity program,后面是個插入語,也是個分詞短語now focused narrowly on race and gender,修飾前面的diversity program,并列句后半句的動詞是look for,賓語是reporters,后面加上定語從句who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class,修飾前面的reporters。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于并列句里面有分詞定語和定語從句,該句最后的定語從句很長,很有特色。
【核心詞匯】
open up 開放
diversity program 多樣化項目
race and gender 種族和性別
differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class 世界觀、價值觀、教育水平和社會階層大相徑庭
【參考譯文】如果新聞界真的注意到了問題的關鍵,它就應該進一步開放其多樣化項目,這個項目現(xiàn)在還只單純考慮招收不同種族和性別的員工,而進一步尋找那些世界觀、價值觀、教育水平和社會階層大相徑庭的各種記者。
