英語六級(jí)攻克閱讀關(guān)鍵句234. While company managers have known about t

234. While company managers have known about the benefits for a long time, many have done little about it, sceptical of whether they could trust their employees to work to full capacity without supervision, or concerned about the additional expenses teleworking policies might incur as staff start charging their home phone bills to the business.

譯文　盡管公司經(jīng)理們?cè)缇土私膺@些利益，但許多人在這方面所做的少之又少。他們對(duì)自己是否能相信員工在沒有監(jiān)督的情況下會(huì)全力工作持懷疑態(tài)度，并且擔(dān)心員工會(huì)把家庭電話費(fèi)加到工作花銷中，使這些遠(yuǎn)程工作策略增加額外的費(fèi)用開支。

點(diǎn)睛　本句的主干是...many have done little about it...。其中，while引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語從句；形容詞短語sceptical of...和concerned about...在句中作狀語，對(duì)主句進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充說明；whether引導(dǎo)的是sceptical of的賓語從句；從句the additional expenses...作concerned about的賓語，同時(shí)，該從句中又包含as引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句。

sceptical意為“不肯相信的；常懷疑的”。如：

I'm sceptical about your purpose. 我對(duì)你的意圖持懷疑態(tài)度。

考點(diǎn)歸納　該句中的incur和occur形近，但意思和用法卻有所區(qū)別：

incur意為“遭受，招致”，多作及物動(dòng)詞，后面要接賓語。如：

1) People who smoke incur a great danger to their health. 吸煙會(huì)大大危及人的健康。

2) The factory incurred a heavy loss during the earthquake. 該廠在地震中蒙受了很大的損失。

occur意為“發(fā)生，出現(xiàn)；想起”，多作不及物動(dòng)詞，通常不帶賓語。如：

1) It is common for such scenes to occur in movies. 電影中出現(xiàn)此類場(chǎng)景是很正常的。

2) A good idea occurred to me. 我想到了一個(gè)好主意。

3) It occured to him that he had a date this evening. 他突然想起來今天晚上有個(gè)約會(huì)。
