大学英语四级难句解析（三）

　　The digital bread crumbs you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like.

　　主干：The crumbs make it easy to reconstruce...

　　you leave everywhere 是定语从句，省略了关系代词that，修饰crumbs; make it easy for...to do...结构中，it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式 to reconstruct...。easy是宾语补语，for引导出不定式的逻辑主语strangers。句末who, where和what引导的三个名词性从句都是reconstruct的宾语。

　　译文：你处处留下的数字面包碎屑很容易让陌生人推想出你是谁，你在哪里，你对什么感兴趣。

　　Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon .

　　主干：Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests...

　　Privacy economist 和 Alessandro Acquisti 是同位语。tests后的that从句作tests的定语，该从句的谓语动词reveal带有一个宾语从句people will surrender...。

　　译文：隐私经济学家Alessandro Acquisti 进行了一系列的测试，这些测试表明人们会透露像社保卡号这样的个人信息，就只是为了能拿到微不足道的便宜50美分的优惠券。
