译文
54岁的维尔弗里德—弗里茨·马林是德国卡尔斯鲁厄专业信息中心的一名数据库和互联网专家,他感觉自己与女儿待在一起的时间会使任何的损失都显得微不足道,但是他还是承认,“当我决定在家办公的时候,我等于已放弃了一切升职的机会”。点睛
本句的主干是...he admits...。引号之间的内容作admits的宾语,其中with引导的介宾短语作伴随状语;Though Wilfried-Fritz Maring...any disadvantages为though引导的让步状语从句;54, a data-bank and Internet specialist with German firm FIZ Karlsruhe作Wilfried-Fritz Maring的同位语;that引导的是宾语从句,作feels的宾语;he spends with his daughter outweighs any disadvantages为省略that的定语从句,修饰time。outweigh意为“胜过,优于”。如:
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages in this case. 在这件事上,利远大于弊。
admit意为“承认”。如:
I am willing to admit that I do make mistakes. 我愿意承认我的确犯了错误。
dismiss意为“不予考虑”。如:
The singer dismissed the story as a rumour. 歌手把这个消息当做谣言而不予考虑。
