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.
【译文】这不是昙花一现。在过去几年里,英国和美国的通货膨胀率始终低于预测水平。
【析句】这是一个并列句,前后用分号隔开两个子句,是递进关系。在第一句中,no可以用not a代替。在后一个句子中,inflation是主语,lower是谓语系动词的表语, than expected和in Britain and America,以及前面的over the past couple of years都是介词短语作状语。
【讲词】a flash in the pan意为"昙花一现的人或事"。Many people believe that the young singer is a flash in the pan.(许多人认为那位歌手红不了多久。) When I first heard the news,I too dismissed it as a flash in the pan.(我一开始听到这个消息时,也认为这事长不了。)
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.
【译文】经济学家对英美两国有利的通胀率感到特别诧异,因为传统的计量方法表明两国经济,特别是美国经济几乎没有生产萧条的时候。
【析句】这是一个主从复合句。主句的主干是Economists have been particularly surprised。在表示原因的状语从句中,其宾语从句中especially America's economy是 both economies的同位语。
【讲词】 conventional意为"普通的,常规的"。a conventional church wedding(传统的教堂式婚礼),conventional symbols(常用的象征),a conventional form of address(称呼的惯用形式),conventional weapons(常规武器)。
slack可以作形容词、副词、名词和动词,其基本意思是"松懈;松弛;减弱"。a slack rope(一根未绷紧的绳子),slack muscles(松弛的肌肉),a slack worker(粗心大意的工人)。
