例116 Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well.
【结构分析】这句话是个典型的转折句,转折句前半句的主语是Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes,动词是have debated,宾语是the social implications of these changes,转折句的后半句的的主语是few,动词是have looked at,宾语是the side effect,冒号后面解释前面的名词,也就是family risk has risen as well。
【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于转折前半句的主语很难,是个排比的短语,转折的后半句的冒号用得很到位,详细阐明了女人就业的副作用。
【核心词汇】
stripe 斑纹,条纹
all stripes 各行各业
implication 牵连,涉及;含意;暗示
side effect 次要的影响
【参考译文】学者、政策制定者和各行各业的批评者对这些变化(女人就业)的社会意义进行了辩论,但是几乎没有人关注其次要的影响:家庭风险也增加了。
