復雜的賓語從句以及表語從句的拆分和理解 例60

例60　I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life", and making the alternative move into "downshifting" brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.

【結構分析】該句是個典型的賓語從句，主干是I have discovered that...，其中有插入語，也就是as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress，后面是賓語從句，賓語從句的主語是兩個動名詞短語并列構成，第一個動名詞短語是abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life"，第二個動名詞短語making the alternative move into "downshifting"，賓語從句的謂語動詞是brings，后面是介詞短語with it做狀語，后面是賓語從句的賓語far greater rewards，后面是個比較級than financial success and social status。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點在于一個超長插入語的使用，使得discover和that產生巨大的脫節(jié)，導致判斷賓語從句很難，而且賓語從句里面充滿了大量的動名詞，對賓語從句的動詞的判斷產生困難。

【核心詞匯】

much-publicized resignation　在媒體的關注之中辭去

the editorship　雜志的主編

after a build-up of stress　在壓力變得沉重之后

abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life"　放棄“兼職”的理念

making the alternative move into "downshifting"　下一個舉動是“辭職”

far greater rewards　更大的回報

financial success and social status　經濟收入和社會地位

【參考譯文】我已經發(fā)現(xiàn)了放棄“兼職”的理念，下一個舉動是“辭職”。這樣做所帶來的回報遠遠不止是經濟收入和社會地位。也許，Kelsey在壓力變得沉重之后，在媒體的關注之中辭去了該雜志的主編職務后也會有同感。
