2016考研英语长难句解析(49)
America's capacity utilization, for example, hit historically high levelsearlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most
estimates of the natural rate of unemployment -- the rate below which inflation
has taken off in the past.
词汇突破:
1.capacity
utilization产能利用率,也叫设备利用率,是工业总产出对生产设备的比率,简单的理解,就是实际生产能力到底有多少在运转发挥生产作用
2. estimate 名词;评估
3. inflation 通货膨胀
4. take off 起飞(发生)
看完这个句子后判断下面那个选项是最佳选项:
A. An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation.
B. A high unemployment rate will result from inflation
句子解析:
并列分句一:America’s capacity utilization, for example, hit historically high
levels earlier this year,举个例子,美国的产能利用率在这年的早期时候达到了历史新高。
并列分句二:its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of
the natural rate of unemployment -- the rate below which inflation has taken off
in the past.
主干识别:its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of
the natural rate of unemployment.美国的失业率已经低于大多数评估的自然失业率了。
同位语:the rate= natural rate of unemployment 或者 its jobless rate (5.6% in
August);
定语从句:below which inflation has taken off in the past.(which= natural rate
of unemployment)
调整一下: inflation has taken off in the past below the natural rate of
unemployment.
在过去,低于自然失业率,通货膨胀就会飙升(发生)了。
即使你不知道take off 是什么意思,你也就和答案比对就好了。不要纠结于翻译本身,我们的目的是作对题!
below the natural rate of unemployment.(原因)
inflation has taken off (结果)
要判断下面的两个选项就要和最后的一个定语从句进行比对:
An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation
A high unemployment rate will result from inflation
所以很容易得知A是最佳选项。
