復(fù)雜的并列句的拆分和理解 例272

例272　"Shareholders" as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labor was not good.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】此句話有兩個(gè)并列句，主語是"shareholders", had no knowledge of是個(gè)很長的動詞短語，賓語是并列的短語the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen, employed by the company是分詞定語修飾前面的名詞短語，in which he held shares是定語從句，修飾前面的company, and后面是個(gè)簡單句，主語his influence on the relations of capital and labor，動詞是was，表語是not good。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話前后兩個(gè)并列句，第一個(gè)并列句很復(fù)雜，里面有并列名詞短語，后面是分詞短語套上定語從句，分詞短語和定語從句層層相套，很巧妙，很實(shí)用。

【核心詞匯】

shareholders　股東

had no knowledge of　不了解

held shares　持有股份

the relations of capital and labor　勞資雙方的關(guān)系

【參考譯文】這樣的“股東”對他擁有股份的公司所雇用的工人們的生活、思想和需求一無所知，而且他們對勞資雙方的關(guān)系都不會產(chǎn)生積極的影響。
