復(fù)雜的形式主語(yǔ)和形式賓語(yǔ)的拆分和理解 例205

例205　While warnings are often appropriate and necessary—the dangers of drug interactions, for example—and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】While warnings are often appropriate and necessary and many are required by state or federal regulations是個(gè)很長(zhǎng)的狀語(yǔ)從句，其中有兩個(gè)并列句子，the dangers of drug interactions, for example是個(gè)插入語(yǔ)，主干是it isn't clear，后面加上真正的主語(yǔ)從句that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability，后面是狀語(yǔ)從句if a customer is injured。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于狀語(yǔ)從句加主句，主句是形式主語(yǔ)it，后面又加上狀語(yǔ)從句if，狀語(yǔ)從句加主句再加狀語(yǔ)從句，很精彩。

【核心詞匯】

warnings　警告

appropriate and necessary　適當(dāng)而且必須的

drug interactions　藥物相互作用

state or federal regulations　州或聯(lián)邦政府規(guī)定要求

manufacturers and sellers　生產(chǎn)者和銷售者

liability　責(zé)任

【參考譯文】盡管警告常常是適當(dāng)而且必須的——比如對(duì)于藥物相互作用的危險(xiǎn)提出警告——許多警告還是按州或聯(lián)邦政府規(guī)定要求給出的，然而（我們）并不清楚，如果顧客受到傷害時(shí)，這些警告是不是確實(shí)可以使得生產(chǎn)者和銷售者豁免責(zé)任。
