例70 The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC—including ordinary listeners and viewer to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping.
【结构分析】句子的主干是个被动语态,也就是The debate was launched by the Government,后面加上定语从句which invited anyone...,后面加上介词短语with an opinion of the BBC—including ordinary listeners and viewer做定语修饰前面的anyone,后面是个不定式做invite的宾补,也就是to say...,里面有两个并列的宾语从句,第一个宾语从句是what was good or bad about the Corporation,第二个宾语从句是whether they thought it was worth keeping。
【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于定语从句里面套上两个并列的宾语从句,两个宾语从句很有特色,定语从句套宾语从句的结构值得学习。
【核心词汇】
launched by 被发起
ordinary listeners and viewer 普通的听众和观众

【参考译文】这场辩论是由政府发动的,政府请任何一个对英国广播公司有意见的人——包括普通的听众和观众——来说说这个公司好在哪里或坏在哪里,甚至要说说他们是否认为这个公司值得被保留下来。
