復(fù)雜的并列句的拆分和理解 例247

例247　I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&M wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers' demands.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是個賓語從句，也就是I believe that...，賓語從句的主語是the most important forces，后面是介詞短語做定語，也就是behind the massive M&M wave，賓語從句的系動詞是are，賓語從句的表語是the same，后面是定語從句that underlie the globalization process，冒號后面表示補充說明，是并列的三個例子，證明前面的觀點，第一個例子是falling transportation and communication costs，第二個例子是lower trade and investment barriers，第三個例子是enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers' demands，里面有定語從句。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于冒號后面的三個例子很經(jīng)典，是個三個名詞短語，三個名詞短語各有特色，第一個名詞短語是個動名詞，第二個名詞短語是個并列名詞短語，第三個名詞短語里面有定語從句。

【核心詞匯】

the most important forces behind the massive M&M wave　巨大的并購浪潮背后的最重要的推動力

the globalization process　全球化進(jìn)程

falling transportation and communication costs　降低交通運輸成本

lower trade and investment barriers　逐漸減少貿(mào)易投資壁壘

enlarged markets　大幅度拓展市場

【參考譯文】我認(rèn)為巨大的并購浪潮背后的最重要的推動力同時也就是促成全球化進(jìn)程的那方基石：即降低交通運輸成本，逐漸減少貿(mào)易投資壁壘，以及大幅度拓展市場，這些都要求更大規(guī)模的經(jīng)營管理以滿足消費者需求。
