  今天的句子非常经典,而且也是到了做点题目的时候了。

  America's capacity utilization, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment -- the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.

  词汇突破:

  1.capacity utilization产能利用率,也叫设备利用率,是工业总产出对生产设备的比率,简单的理解,就是实际生产能力到底有多少在运转发挥生产作用

  2. estimate 名词;评估

  3. inflation 通货膨胀

  4. take off 起飞(发生)

  看完这个句子后判断下面那个选项是最佳选项:

  A. An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation.

  B. A high unemployment rate will result from inflation

  句子解析:

  并列分句一:

  America’s capacity utilization, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year,

  举个例子,美国的产能利用率在这年的早期时候达到了历史新高。

  并列分句二:

  its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment -- the rate below which inflation has taken off in the past.

  主干识别:

  its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment.

  美国的失业率已经低于大多数评估的自然失业率了。

  同位语:

  the rate= natural rate of unemployment 或者 its jobless rate (5.6% in August);

  定语从句:below which inflation has taken off in the past.(which= natural rate of unemployment)

  调整一下: inflation has taken off in the past below the natural rate of unemployment.

  在过去,低于自然失业率,通货膨胀就会飙升(发生)了。

  即使你不知道take off 是什么意思,你也就和答案比对就好了。不要纠结于翻译本身,我们的目的是作对题!

  below the natural rate of unemployment.(原因)

  inflation has taken off (结果)

  要判断下面的两个选项就要和最后的一个定语从句进行比对:

  [A] An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation

  [B] A high unemployment rate will result from inflation

  所以很容易得知A是最佳选项;

  当然你会有不解和不爽,总觉得A选项的某些表达也不完美,但是你得学会接受他的不完美,因为你只是在选择最佳选项。

  所以我们会说:模糊替换嘛;
