This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in, a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.
謹記處理長難句四步驟:
一、尋標志,斷長句,守原則;
二、除修飾,找核心,抓主干;
三、理結構,調語序,定句意;
四、依邏輯,組整句,成表達。
首先把這個長句子按照斷句標志“標點-連詞-短語”的順序,斷成符合“長度適中/結構完整”的5-10詞左右部分;然后梳理斷句后的每個部分主干---修飾結構;其次按照分析后的修飾結構進行合理調整,確定語意;完成基本前面三步后,最后依照邏輯,表達通順。
第一步:尋標志,斷長句,守原則
按照標點符號—從屬連詞—并列連詞—短語的標志順序,結合“長度適中及語法完整”原則,我們把句子劃分為This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in, / / a fact underlined by statistics that show / that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.
第二步:除修飾,找核心,抓主干
對三個部分分別進行結構梳理:
結構1:This主語,demonstrates 謂語動詞,that the television business is not an easy world to survive in,為that引導的賓語從句。主干為主謂賓。其中to survive in為N(world)+to do短語作定語,修飾world。
結構2:a fact underlined by statistics that show...整個為同位語成分,其中underlined為Ved短語做后置定語,修飾fact, that show...為修飾statistics的定語從句,其中that做主語成分。
結構3: that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989. 為結構1中show...后接的賓語從句,其中out of eighty European television networks 為介詞短語位于句首做狀語,50%為that賓語從句中數字做主語,took a loss 為that賓語從句中謂語動詞。
第三步:理結構,調語序,定句意
結構1:這單單證明出,電視行業不僅是一個簡單的世界去生存
結構2:(被統計數據所顯示的)事實表明...
結構3:(表明)在80家歐洲電視網中,在1989年不少于一半的虧損。
第四步:依邏輯,組整句,成表達
完成前面三個基礎步驟,整合3個結構邏輯與表達:
“這一點就足以證明,要在電視行業里生存下來不容易,統計數據尤其說明了這一事實。在80個歐洲電視網中,多達一半在1989年虧損”
