復雜的賓語從句以及表語從句的拆分和理解 例67

例67　Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack.

【結構分析】句子的主干是個被動語態(tài)，主語是Economists，動詞是have been surprised by，賓語是favorable inflation figures，后面是介詞短語是in Britain and the United States，后面是個原因狀語從句，也就是since conventional measures suggest...，狀語從句里面套上賓語從句，也就是that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于狀語從句套上賓語從句，從句套從句很經(jīng)典。

【核心詞匯】

economists　經(jīng)濟學家們

favorable inflation figures　有利的通貨膨脹數(shù)據(jù)

conventional measures　傳統(tǒng)的計量方法

productive slack　生產蕭條

【參考譯文】經(jīng)濟學家們對英國和美國的有利的通貨膨脹數(shù)據(jù)尤其感到驚訝，因為傳統(tǒng)的計量方法顯示兩國的經(jīng)濟，特別是美國的經(jīng)濟，幾乎沒有生產蕭條的時候。
