復(fù)雜的狀語從句的拆分和理解 例118

例118　As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on and find a better job opportunity that helps them earn a high salary.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話的開頭是時(shí)間狀語從句As boards scrutinize succession plans...，后面是介詞短語in response to shareholder pressure做狀語，主干的主語是executives，后面是定語從句who don't get the nod，第一個(gè)動(dòng)詞是may wish to move on，第二個(gè)動(dòng)詞是find，后面是賓語a better job opportunity，后面是定語從句that helps them earn a high salary。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)是很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間狀語從句as，主句還有兩個(gè)定語從句，而且主干還是并列句，很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

boards　董事會(huì)

scrutinize succession plans　對(duì)一系列的計(jì)劃進(jìn)行審查

in response to shareholder pressure　迫于股東的壓力

don't get the nod　計(jì)劃被否定掉

wish to move on　也會(huì)想離開

a better job opportunity　更好的工作機(jī)會(huì)

【參考譯文】當(dāng)董事會(huì)迫于股東的壓力對(duì)一系列的計(jì)劃進(jìn)行審查的時(shí)候，那些計(jì)劃被否定掉的經(jīng)理們也會(huì)想離開，而且尋找能帶來豐厚的收入的更好的工作機(jī)會(huì)。
