復雜的分割結構（插入語）的理解 例221

例221　There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.

【結構分析】句子的主干是There is a disjunction between...and...，其中between中的第一個名詞是the mass of business anecdote，后面加上定語從句that points to a leap in productivity, and后面的第二個名詞是the picture，后面加上分詞定語reflected by the statistics, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says是個插入語。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點由于插入語的加入，造成了對主干是別的難度，尤其是在between...and...結構的識別中由于加入了定語從句使其難于理解。

【核心詞匯】

the treasury secretary　財政部長

anecdote　軼聞，趣聞

statistics　數(shù)據(jù)

picture　情況，事態(tài)

【參考譯文】正如財長魯賓所說，在表明生產力飛躍發(fā)展的商業(yè)佚事和數(shù)據(jù)所反映的情況之間存在著脫節(jié)。
