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(dòng)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(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)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(jià)的運(yùn)輸需求

【參考譯文】整個(gè)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(yùn)輸需求而必須做的資本投入。
