Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and theUnited States,since conventional measures suggest that both economies,and especiallyAmerica's,have little productive slack.
【译文】经济学家对英美两国有利的通胀率感到特别诧异,因为传统的计量方法表明两国经济,特别是美国经济几乎没有生产萧条的时候。
【析句】这是一个主从复合句。主句的主干是Economists have been particularly surprised。在表示原因的状语从句中,其宾语从句中especially America's economy是 both economies的同位语。
【讲词】 conventional意为"普通的,常规的"。a conventional church wedding(传统的教堂式婚礼),conventional symbols(常用的象征),a conventional form of address(称呼的惯用形式),conventional weapons(常规武器)。
slack可以作形容词、副词、名词和动词,其基本意思是"松懈;松弛;减弱"。a slack rope(一根未绷紧的绳子),slack muscles(松弛的肌肉),a slack worker(粗心大意的工人)。
