例268 The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
【结构分析】此句话的主语中心语是三个,the worker, the student, the foreigner,后面各有三个who引导的定语从句修饰前面的主语,all these做这三个名词的同位语,系动词是are,表语是examples of people, who引导定语从句修饰people。
【亮点回放】此句是个典型的三个并列的主语,每个主语都有定语从句,描述主语状态,很生动,后面的宾语又套上定语从句,更加平衡。
【核心词汇】
get a promotion 升官
measurable results 可以衡量的结果
【参考译文】得到了升迁的工人们,成绩进步的学生,学会了一门新语言的外国人——这些都是那些有可衡量的结果显示其努力的人们的例证。
