例274 Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it's Ok to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure.
【結構分析】該句子的主干是voices now come from many quarters;句首Just as結構做比較狀語,意為“正如……一樣”;insisting引導的分詞結構做定語修飾主語voice,分詞結構中含有兩個并列的由that引導的賓語從句,第一賓語從句是that the science about global warming is incomplete,第二個賓語從句是that it's Ok to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure。
【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于分詞定語insisting后面的兩個超級賓語從句,兩個賓語從句都很難,其中第二個賓語從句里面還有時間狀語從句until。
【核心詞匯】
just as on smoking 就像吸煙問題一樣
voices now come from many quarters 來自不同領域的聲音
global warming is incomplete 有關全球變暖的科學資料還不完整
【參考譯文】就像吸煙問題一樣,來自不同領域的聲音堅持認為有關全球變暖的科學資料還不完整,而且在我們證實這件事之前可以向大氣中不斷的排放氣體。
