        109. Now there is in America a curious combination of pride in having risen to a position where it is no longer necessary to depend on manual labor for a living and genuine delight in what one is able to accomplish with one's own hands.
        【句式分析】

       

                句子的主体是there is in America a curious combination of…,后面是 pride和genuine delight 的并列结构，in having risen to a position修饰pride，where引导定语从句修饰a position，in what one is able to accomplish with one's own hands修饰genuine delight。

        【词汇】
        manual adj. 手工的
        genuine adj. 真正的，由衷的
        【中文妙译】
        现在美国有一个奇怪的现象：人们一方面为地位上升不再需要靠体力劳动谋生而感到自豪，另一方面又对能够亲自动手做一些事而由衷地感到高兴。
