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(xiàn)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T(mén)hey found that……that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,賓語(yǔ)從句的主謂賓為the probability incresed by 20%,that the company will have to restate earnings作定語(yǔ)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(guò)研究者相信,如果外部董事在不良消息出現(xiàn)之前離開(kāi)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(cuò)誤正是發(fā)生在他們擔(dān)任董事期間,情況也是如此。
【例句分析】同例句2結(jié)構(gòu)相似,本復(fù)合句的重點(diǎn)在從句。主句為But the researchers believe that賓語(yǔ)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(yǔ)從句。從句的主句中還包含if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語(yǔ)從句,而even if從句中同樣包含從句,shows后they were on the board是賓語(yǔ)從句,at the time則引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
