2018屠屠考研英語長難句 一日一句(20)
每日一句:
Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers' misfortunes.
【分析】
本句是兩個(gè)句子結(jié)合。在第一個(gè)句子中,if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster是從句,指門墊或爐灶沒有警示語。在第二個(gè)句子中,or 連接句子,so the thinking has gone是一個(gè)倒裝結(jié)構(gòu),正常的語序應(yīng)該是the thinking has gone so(人們是這么想的),go這個(gè)詞的用法很靈活,有進(jìn)展,進(jìn)行的意思。時(shí)間狀語the early 1980s后面是when引導(dǎo)的定語從句,其中juries是主語,began holding是謂語,后面是賓語more companies,liable for their customers’ misfortunes是形容詞結(jié)構(gòu)做修飾。
【詞匯】
fail to 未能
lawsuit n. 訴訟
compensate v.補(bǔ)償
jury n.陪審團(tuán)
hold v. [僻義]認(rèn)為
be liable for為…負(fù)責(zé)
【譯文】 幸運(yùn)的是,如果門墊或者是火爐沒有能警告即將到來的災(zāi)難,你可以通過一場成功的法律訴訟來賠償你的麻煩。從二十世紀(jì)八十年代的早期開始人們的想法就是這樣的了,那時(shí)候陪審團(tuán)認(rèn)為商家對消費(fèi)者的不幸應(yīng)該負(fù)擔(dān)更多的責(zé)任。
