275. Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete.
译文其战略源于两个信念:第一,全球化产品所提供的规模化经济模式是本地品牌所无法匹敌的。
点睛本句的主干是strategy rests on beliefs。冒号之后的内容是对beliefs的具体说明。with which引导的是economies of scale的定语从句,其中with和之后的compete构成短语compete with。
rest on此处的意思是“以……为依据”。如:
The whole argument rested on a false assumption. 整个论点都是基于一个错误的假设。
compete with的意思是“与……竞争”。如:
They can't compete with us on quality. 他们在质量上无法与我们竞争。
考点归纳短语rest on还有如下含义:
“依赖,依靠”。如:
All the family's hopes rest on you. 整个家庭的希望都寄托在你的身上。
“取决于”。如:
Success in management rests on good judgment. 管理的成功取决于正确的判断。
“凝视”。如:
Their eyes rested on the piece of paper in the teacher's hand. 他们的目光都落在老师手里的一张纸上。
