一、 Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect saddle curl, the Lay s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination.
分析主干:the potato chip seems an weapon
a weapon for global domination 一种用来主宰全球的武器 ,指具有全球竞争力的食品。主语前是三个并列的短语,中心词分别是thick, golden 和with a... curl。这种形容词或介词短语一般用来作定语,但是本句中,它们位于句首,表示主语的某种属性,可
以看做原因状语。
译文:乐事薯片的厚度只有0.05 英寸,呈浅浅的金黄色,带有完美的马鞍形状的弧度,它似乎不像是一种能够主宰全球的食品。
二、We re saying we want you to work in these places, we蒺re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you re disposable.
分析主干:We re saying... and... you re disposable.
句中含有多个分句,具有口语色彩。从大的结构上来说,是and 连接两个分句构成的并列句。前一个分句的谓语动词是are saying,它带了两个宾语从句:we want you to...和we re going to look...。in terms of 后面的what 引导宾语从句。后一个分句含两个when 引导的时间状语从句。
译文:我们一直在说我们想让你们在这些地方工作,至于我们的法律是怎么规定的,我们会装糊涂。然后,当我们方便的时候,或者当我们可以着力证明加强国防安全的必要的时候,尤其是在9.11 以后,这时,你们就可以打发掉了。
三、 Global does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumers-especially young people-see as part of a modern, innovative world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes.
分析主干: Global does not mean products but ones
谓语动词mean 带了两个由not... but 连接的名词短语作宾语。两个名词短语都有定语从句修饰。在修饰ones 的定语从句中,破折号内的内容起强调补充的作用;inwhich 引导的定语从句修饰world。
译文:全球并不意味着被认为是美国的产品,而是指被消费者,特别是年轻人看做是一个现代和富有创新的世界中的其中一部分产品,在这个世界里,来自不同文化的人们通过相同的信念和趣味而联系在一起。
四、Last year the influential trade show Designers Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable.
分析主干:the trade show Designers Agents stopped charging... and gave recognition to designers...
1.主句的主语部分是两个同位的名词词组,the influential trade show 和Designers Agents。主句的谓语动词是and 并列连接的stopped 和gave。
2.第一个谓语动词stopped 用动名词短语charging...作宾语。该动名词短语是charge fee for 结构。who引导的定语从句修饰entrepreneurs。
3.第二个谓语动词是gave,用了give recognition to...结构。whose 引导的定语从句修饰designers。
译文:去年,颇具影响力的贸易展Designers Agents 向参加洛杉矶和纽约两次春展的年轻的倡导绿色设计的企业家们免收参展费,并且向那些设计的服装至少使用了25%的有机布料的设计师们给予了特别的赞誉。
五、 Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen.
分析主干:Shoppers complain... but will alert their friends...
1.这是个简单句,but 引导两个并列的谓语动词,语义上是转折关系。
2.complain的宾语是or 引导的两个并列的名词,而alert 的宾语是and 连接的5 个名词短语,在语言形式上突出了语义上的对比关系。句末的who 引导定语从句修饰anyone。
译文:顾客很少直接向零售店的经理或店主投诉,而是会将他们不愉快的购物经历告诉他们的朋友、亲戚、同事、陌生人--以及任何愿意听他们抱怨的人。
