  翻译句子

  1、The 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.
  
  [参考译文] 这场争论是由政府发起的,政府请任何一个对英国广播公司有意见的人-包括普通的听众和观众-来说说这个好在哪里或坏在哪里,甚至要说说他们是否认为这个公司值得被保留下来。
  
  [结构剖析] 这个句子的主干结构是 The debate was launched by the Government,使用了被动语态。后面 which 引导定语从句 which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC…修饰 government,定语从句中不定式 to say 后面是两个并列的宾语从句,一个由 what 引导,一个由 whether 引导,两部分用 and 连接,副词 even 表示进一步强调。另外两个破折号之间的部分属于插入成分,是用来进一步定义 anyone 的。anyone 后面的 with 介词词组也是用来修饰 anyone 的。
  
  [阅读重点] 重点是要弄清楚后面定语从句,两个宾语从句,还有插入成分之间的层次关系。另外要注意 be worth doing 的用法,这一结构本身就可以表达被动含义,因而 the Corporation was worth keeping 就是英国广播公司值得被保留的意思。
  
  2、But 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.
  
  [参考译文] 但是新的卫星频道的到来—它的资金一部分来自于广告,一部分来自于观众的收视费—将从长远意义上导致最巨大的变化。
  
  [结构剖析] 首先这个句子使用了强调结构 it is…which,which 指代前面的 channels。破折号中间部分的插入成分相当于定语,(which are) funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers' subscriptions 修饰 channels,其中 and 连接两个 partly by。

  [阅读重点] 注意 bring about 在句中的含义是引起、导致、产生。
