President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a saving-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. 【词汇突破】 campaigned to do 致力于. social Security 社会保障 saving-account model 账户储蓄模式 trade 交换 guaranteed 保障，确保 swear to , guarant to , assure to 都是保障和确保的意思。 【主干识别】Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a model加独立主格结构。 【其他成分】with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments。depending on investment returns。在这里需要搞清楚独立主格的本质，就是将两个主语不同但有内在逻辑联系的句子合为一个句子，因而这个结构便可理解为retirees traded much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments。 depending on investment returns非谓语作后置定语修饰payments。 【微观解析】理解含有独立主格的句子的关键在于分割，要将with后面的句子还原，单独翻译。而对payments修饰若是变为定语从句则为 which depended on investment returns.这种对于名词修饰形式的转变可以灵活的运用于写作中的。 【难点揭秘】独立主格的存在会使直接翻译略显僵化。 |
