例241 For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century.
【結構分析】這句話開頭是個介詞短語For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public,句子的主語是classical instrumentalists,動詞是must compete,賓語是個并列短語,第一個賓語是opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums,第二個賓語是the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century,這個賓語是個連環(huán)of結構,要從后往前翻。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于賓語極其復雜,賓語是個not only...but also...結構,這個并列的賓語很有特色,后面的賓語是個連環(huán)of結構。

【參考譯文】當下為了獲得藝術愛好者的錢,時間,關注度,古典音樂的演奏家們(其實就是指交響樂團,同意復述)不僅要和劇院,舞蹈隊,演出公司和博物館競爭,而且還需要和那些記錄了20世紀的偉大的古典音樂演奏者表演的唱片競爭。
