1. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
【譯文】這不是曇花一現(xiàn)。在過去幾年里,英國和美國的通貨膨脹率始終低于預(yù)測水平。
【析句】這是一個(gè)并列句,前后用分號隔開兩個(gè)子句,是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。在第一句中,no可以用not a代替。在后一個(gè)句子中,inflation是主語,lower是謂語系動詞的表語, than expected和in Britain and America,以及前面的over the past couple of years都是介詞短語作狀語。
【講詞】a flash in the pan意為"曇花一現(xiàn)的人或事"。Many people believe that the young singer is a flash in the pan.(許多人認(rèn)為那位歌手紅不了多久。) When I first heard the news,I too dismissed it as a flash in the pan.(我一開始聽到這個(gè)消息時(shí),也認(rèn)為這事長不了。)
2. Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States,since conventional measures suggest that both economies,and especially America's,have little productive slack.
【譯文】經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家對英美兩國有利的通脹率感到特別詫異,因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)的計(jì)量方法表明兩國經(jīng)濟(jì),特別是美國經(jīng)濟(jì)幾乎沒有生產(chǎn)蕭條的時(shí)候。
【析句】這是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。主句的主干是Economists have been particularly surprised。在表示原因的狀語從句中,其賓語從句中especially America's economy是 both economies的同位語。
【講詞】 conventional意為"普通的,常規(guī)的"。a conventional church wedding(傳統(tǒng)的教堂式婚禮),conventional symbols(常用的象征),a conventional form of address(稱呼的慣用形式),conventional weapons(常規(guī)武器)。
slack可以作形容詞、副詞、名詞和動詞,其基本意思是"松懈;松弛;減弱"。a slack rope(一根未繃緊的繩子),slack muscles(松弛的肌肉),a slack worker(粗心大意的工人)。
