张剑经典英语真题,讲解超级详细

debate in Britain.

该句是由but连接的两个转折关系的分句。前半句为The corporation will survive as ，其中at least for the time being的意思是“眼下，暂时”，这里做时间状语。后半句的主干可以表达为A are the subject of B（A是B的对象）。

③The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC—including ordinary listeners and viewers—to say what was good or bad about the Corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping.

该句的主干是：The debate was launched by the Government，后面是由which 引导的非限定性定语从句修饰government。这个从句的主干是：which invited anyone... to say...。在anyone后由with引导的介词短语对它修饰限制，可译为“对其有看法的人”。两个破折号间的插入语，同样是在对 anyone进行补充说明。to say后有两个宾语成分what was good or bad about the Corporation和whether they thought it was worth keeping，副词even表进一步强调。

④The BBC “ain’t broke”, they say, by which they mean it is not broken (as distinct from the word ‘broke’, meaning having no money), so why bother to change it?

该句调整句序后应为：They say, the BBC“ain’t broke”, , so why bother to change it?。主干部分是由so连接的两个因果关系的分句。前一分句中which引导定语从句，修饰“ain’t broke”，括号内的部分指出broken（破损）和broke（破产）有不同含义，后一分句why bother to do sth. 是反问句，属非正式用法。

知识点补充：注意作者改正了美国俚语中broke的错误用法，认为应该是broken（破损），应该与broke加以区别，因为作者认为broke的意思应该是“破产”。

⑤But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changes in the long term.

此句的主干是it is the arrival ... which...，是一个强调句，被强调的部分为主语the arrival of new satellite channels。破折号中间的内容是过去分词结构，置于所修饰的名词之后，做定语。

佳句赏析

① And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels, five BBC national radio services and dozens of local radio stations.

此句中的介词宾语由三个名词短语组成，其中数词的递增和中心名词的替换给人一种语言的动感美。
