復雜的分割結構（插入語）的理解 例228

例228　The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation wide debate in Britain.

【結構分析】這句話是個轉折句，but前面的主干是The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization，后面是個介詞短語狀語做插入語，也就是at least for the time being, but后面的主語是并列的名詞，也就是its role, its size and its programs，系動詞是are，表語是the subject of a nation wide debate。

【亮點回放】此句話的亮點是個典型的轉折句，but后面比前面重要，里面的插入語很經典。

【核心詞匯】

survive　存在下來

a publicly funded broadcasting organization　一個公共基金支持的廣播組織

for the time being　至少目前會這樣

the subject of a nation wide debate　成了全國上下的討論話題

【參考譯文】英國廣播公司將作為一個公共基金支持的廣播組織存在下來，至少目前會這樣，但是它的角色、它的規(guī)模和它的節(jié)目現(xiàn)在在英國成了全國上下的討論話題。
