例228 The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation wide debate in Britain.
【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這句話是個轉(zhuǎn)折句,but前面的主干是The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization,后面是個介詞短語狀語做插入語,也就是at least for the time being, but后面的主語是并列的名詞,也就是its role, its size and its programs,系動詞是are,表語是the subject of a nation wide debate。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點是個典型的轉(zhuǎn)折句,but后面比前面重要,里面的插入語很經(jīng)典。
【核心詞匯】
survive 存在下來
a publicly funded broadcasting organization 一個公共基金支持的廣播組織
for the time being 至少目前會這樣
the subject of a nation wide debate 成了全國上下的討論話題
【參考譯文】英國廣播公司將作為一個公共基金支持的廣播組織存在下來,至少目前會這樣,但是它的角色、它的規(guī)模和它的節(jié)目現(xiàn)在在英國成了全國上下的討論話題。
