难句分析:
难句1
Left, until now, to odd, low level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety.
[分析]此句主干是:"...information protection is now high on the boss's agenda...";句子的前面是两个过去分词结构left...to...与seen as a concern...,作状语。
[译文]此前,信息保护工作一直被留给临时的、低层次的信息技术人员承担,并且只被看成是信息资源丰富产业所关注的一个问题,比如银行业、电信业以及航空等行业。如今,信息保护已成为各行各业老板的头等大事。
难句2
Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore-and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.
[分析]此句主干是"...it should be obious...that...and that...",其中it是形式主语,两个that引导的两个从句是真正的主语。在第一个从句中,that most valuable of economic assets作主语trust的同位语,其中that表示强调;在第二个从句中现在分词结构letting sensitive personal data...作company的定语。
[译文]当然,对于最迟钝的管理人员也应清楚,显而易见的应该是,诚信这种最有价值的经济财产很容易遭到破坏,而要恢复诚信却代价高昂,此外,没有什么比让公司敏感的个人资料落入不妥当的人之手更可能破坏诚信的了。
难句3
Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit card accounts in America, disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America's Federal Trade Commission(FTC)that puts corporate America on notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.
[分析]此句主干是"...the theft of information...overshadowed a hugely important decision..."其中主语中的information带有两个定语,宾语decision带有多个定语:多词词组a day,介词结构by America's Federal Trade Commission,that引导的定语从句that puts corporate America on notice...,其中notice(通知)后的that引导一个同位语从句that regulators will act if...,说明notice的内容。
[译文]同时,6月17日有关偷窃大约4000万信用卡账户信息这种事件的披露使得一天前美国商务委员会的一个重要决定蒙上了阴影,该决定提请全美国注意,如果公司没有提供适当的信息安全保护措施,那么监管结构就会采取行动。
