1. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
【譯文】這不是曇花一現(xiàn)。在過(guò)去幾年里,英國(guó)和美國(guó)的通貨膨脹率始終低于預(yù)測(cè)水平。
【析句】這是一個(gè)并列句,前后用分號(hào)隔開兩個(gè)子句,是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。在第一句中,no可以用not a代替。在后一個(gè)句子中,inflation是主語(yǔ),lower是謂語(yǔ)系動(dòng)詞的表語(yǔ), than expected和in Britain and America,以及前面的over the past couple of years都是介詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)。
【講詞】a flash in the pan意為"曇花一現(xiàn)的人或事"。Many people believe that the young singer is a flash in the pan.(許多人認(rèn)為那位歌手紅不了多久。) When I first heard the news,I too dismissed it as a flash in the pan.(我一開始聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息時(shí),也認(rèn)為這事長(zhǎng)不了。)
2. Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States,since conventional measures suggest that both economies,and especially America's,have little productive slack.
【譯文】經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家對(duì)英美兩國(guó)有利的通脹率感到特別詫異,因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)的計(jì)量方法表明兩國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì),特別是美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)幾乎沒(méi)有生產(chǎn)蕭條的時(shí)候。
【析句】這是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。主句的主干是Economists have been particularly surprised。在表示原因的狀語(yǔ)從句中,其賓語(yǔ)從句中especially America's economy是 both economies的同位語(yǔ)。
【講詞】 conventional意為"普通的,常規(guī)的"。a conventional church wedding(傳統(tǒng)的教堂式婚禮),conventional symbols(常用的象征),a conventional form of address(稱呼的慣用形式),conventional weapons(常規(guī)武器)。
slack可以作形容詞、副詞、名詞和動(dòng)詞,其基本意思是"松懈;松弛;減弱"。a slack rope(一根未繃緊的繩子),slack muscles(松弛的肌肉),a slack worker(粗心大意的工人)。
