Instead, we are treated to fine hypocriticalspectacles, which now more than
ever seem in amplesupply: the critic of American materialism with aSouthampton
summer home; the publisher ofradical books who takes his meals in
three-starrestaurants; the journalist advocating participatorydemocracy in all
phases of life, whose own childrenare enrolled in private schools.
译文:相反,我们目睹的虚伪现象比以前任何时候都多:批判美国物质主义的人却在南安普顿拥有避暑别墅;激进书籍的出版商却在三星级餐厅就餐;倡导在人生各个时期都参与民主制的记者却把子女送去就读私立学校。
点睛:本句的主干为…we are treated
to…spectacles…,其后是由which引导的非限定性定语从句,修饰spectacles。冒号后面是三个并列的名词性短语,其核心词分别是critic、publisher和journalist。第二个名词性短语中包含了一个由who引导的定语从句修饰the
publisher;第三个名词性短语中包含了两个定语,一个是现在分词短语advocating participatory democracy in all
phases of life,另一个是由whose引导的定语从句。be treated to的原意为“被招待,被款待”, to为介词。in ample
supply指“供应充足”。冒号之后的三个例子突显出本句明显的讽刺意味。
