復(fù)雜的分割結(jié)構(gòu)（插入語）的理解 例214

例214　The railroad industry as a whole, despite its brightening fortunes, still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the capital it must invest to keep up with its surging traffic.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話的主語是The railroad industry as a whole，后面是插入語despite its brightening fortunes，動詞是still does not earn，賓語是enough，后面是不定式短語to cover the cost of the capital，后面是省略that的定語從句，也就是it must invest to keep up with its surging traffic。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于插入語使用得很經(jīng)典，而且省略that的定語從句也很有特色。

【核心詞匯】

the railroad industry　鐵路行業(yè)

brightening fortunes　璀璨的前途

earn enough to　賺足夠多的親愛

cover the cost of the capital　支付成本

keep up with its surging traffic　滿足日益正價的運輸需求

【參考譯文】整個鐵路業(yè)盡管形勢很好，其收入仍不足以支付日益增加的運輸需求而必須做的資本投入。
