2014年英語四級閱讀難句解析(62)

　　Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo‘s Aquafina and Coca-Cola‘s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water. (06.12 Passage 1)

　　分析主干：companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground...

　　破折號后的this 指代前面的內(nèi)容：view... share(把瓶裝水看做下一個市場份額的競爭場所)，despite 是介詞，后接賓語the fact，表示讓步：“盡管事實上......”。that 引導(dǎo)的從句作the fact 的同位語。冒號后的內(nèi)容是對同位語從句內(nèi)容的進一步解釋說明。

　　譯文：盡管如此，軟飲料公司把瓶裝水看做是爭奪市場占有率的下一個戰(zhàn)場—雖然事實是超過25%的瓶裝水都來自自來水：百事可樂的Aquafina 和可口可樂的Dasani都是經(jīng)過凈化的自來水，而不是礦泉水。
