例53 The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.
【结构分析】这句话是典型的宾语从句The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that...,宾语从句的主语是workers,后面是介词短语in all countries做定语,后面是谓语动词can be trained,后面是介词短语on the job做状语,后面是不定式短语to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living做目的状语。
【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于宾语从句很复杂,里面有被动语态,还有介词短语,还有不定式短语,难度很大。
【核心词汇】
the findings of a research institution 一家研究机构的研究成果
have consistently shown 一再表明
can be trained 可以培训
achieve radical higher productivity 大幅度提高生产率
radically higher standards of living 提高生活水平
【参考译文】一家研究机构的研究成果一再表明:所有国家的工人都可以进行在职培训以大幅度提高生产率,从而提高生活水平。
