345. They believed strongly that democracy depended on responsibility and that a growing capitalist economy depended on the productivity of workers.
译文
他们坚信,民主依赖于责任感,而资本主义经济的发展依赖于工人的生产力。点睛
副词strongly作状语修饰believed表示“坚信”;两个that引导的是believed的并列宾语从句,这两个从句中都包含短语depend on,此处意为“依赖”;capitalist此处为形容词,意为“资本主义的”。考点归纳
短语depend on还有以下几种含义:“指望”。如:
We're depending on you to get this done. 我们指望你把这件事做好呢。
“信赖,相信”。如:
You have my word. You can depend on me. 我向你保证。你可以相信我。
“取决于,视……而定”。如:
The length of the treatment depends on the cure. 治疗时间的长短取决于该疗法。
