149. Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water...
译文
然而,软饮料公司将瓶装水视为下一个市场份额的竞争领域——尽管实际上25%以上的瓶装水都来自自来水……点睛
本句的主干是soft-drink companies view bottled water as...破折号后面的部分为让步状语从句,其中that引导的是fact的同位语从句。nevertheless意为“然而,不过”,既可以作连词,也可以作副词。如:
The news may be unexpected; nevertheless, it's true. 这消息也许出人意料,但它是真的。
soft-drink意为“不含酒精的饮料;软饮料”。与soft-drink相对的是alcoholic drink(酒精饮料)。bottled water意为“瓶装水”,tap water意为“自来水”。
