Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, 1 the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes.
这篇文章的作者酷爱后置定语结构,在前面的句子中,几乎句子主语后面都跟着后置定语成分。而这个句子也不例外:Most theories of juvenile delinquency(大多数有关青少年犯罪的理论),接下来,我们找到句子的谓语部分“have focused on”,宾语部分为“children from disadvantaged families”;这道题目连接的是一个名词性质的成分“the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes”(包含了that的同位语从句);看到四个选项的ing形式,其实不难猜到,此处为现在分词结构作状语,且具体的词汇选择需要考虑该空前后的句意,所以前面说的“children from disadvantaged families”与后面提到的“children from wealthy homes”形成了鲜明的对比,所以,此处选择B选项,表示前后关系的转折;
参考译文:
Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, ignoring the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes
