復(fù)雜的賓語(yǔ)從句以及表語(yǔ)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(yǔ)態(tài)，主語(yǔ)是Economists，動(dòng)詞是have been surprised by，賓語(yǔ)是favorable inflation figures，后面是介詞短語(yǔ)是in Britain and the United States，后面是個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)從句，也就是since conventional measures suggest...，狀語(yǔ)從句里面套上賓語(yǔ)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(yǔ)從句套上賓語(yǔ)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。
