例60 I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life", and making the alternative move into "downshifting" brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.
【结构分析】该句是个典型的宾语从句,主干是I have discovered that...,其中有插入语,也就是as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress,后面是宾语从句,宾语从句的主语是两个动名词短语并列构成,第一个动名词短语是abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life",第二个动名词短语making the alternative move into "downshifting",宾语从句的谓语动词是brings,后面是介词短语with it做状语,后面是宾语从句的宾语far greater rewards,后面是个比较级than financial success and social status。
【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于一个超长插入语的使用,使得discover和that产生巨大的脱节,导致判断宾语从句很难,而且宾语从句里面充满了大量的动名词,对宾语从句的动词的判断产生困难。
【核心词汇】
much-publicized resignation 在媒体的关注之中辞去
the editorship 杂志的主编
after a build-up of stress 在压力变得沉重之后
abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life" 放弃“兼职”的理念
making the alternative move into "downshifting" 下一个举动是“辞职”
far greater rewards 更大的回报
financial success and social status 经济收入和社会地位
【参考译文】我已经发现了放弃“兼职”的理念,下一个举动是“辞职”。这样做所带来的回报远远不止是经济收入和社会地位。也许,Kelsey在压力变得沉重之后,在媒体的关注之中辞去了该杂志的主编职务后也会有同感。
