復雜的形式主語和形式賓語的拆分和理解 例207

例207　It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.

【結構分析】It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe...，后面是賓語從句that，賓語從句的主語是scientists，后面加上很長的定語從句who know exactly，定語從句后面有兩個超級賓語從句where they are going and how they will get there，賓語從句的真正的動詞是should not be distracted by，賓語是of結構，the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register，后面是狀語從句while the other eye is on the microscope。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點是it無主句套上定語從句，定語從句套上兩個賓語從句，后面又加上狀語從句，很復雜，特別是并列的賓語從句。

【核心詞匯】

reasonable　合理的

auditors　審查者

distracted by　分散注意力于

keeping one eye on the cash register　一只眼盯著收銀機

microscope　顯微鏡

【參考譯文】審查者完全有理由相信，知道自己準備做什么、怎么做的科學家不應該因為必須一只眼盯著收銀機，一只眼盯著顯微鏡而分散了注意力。
