01 【长难句】
Americans spend more on fast food than they do on higher education, PCs or
new cars—worrying, when a single meal at a KFC of less than a pound-weight of
food plus a large Pepsi can top 1,600 calories, not far short of the daily
intake recommended by the government for adults doing only “light physical
activity”.
02【句型分析】
破折号前面是比较级结构more…than…,worrying是形容词对前面的总结,when引导状语从句,主语是a single meal of ….
plus….,谓语是can top,1600 calories是宾语。后面是形容词结构作定语,recommended by the government for
adults是后置定语修饰the daily intake, doing only “light physical
activity”是分词结构修饰adults。
03【词汇】
short of 缺乏,达不到
intake 摄入量
recommend 推荐
04【参考译文】
美国人花在快餐上的钱远远多于高等教育、个人电脑或新的车型——这很令人担忧。在肯德基快餐店光吃一顿不到一磅重的餐点,再喝一大杯百事可乐,摄入热量就可能超过1600卡路里,这比美国政府为仅从事“轻度体力活动”的成人所推荐的每日摄取量并不低多少。 |
