英語(yǔ)六級(jí)攻克閱讀關(guān)鍵句239. The UK network of Business Links confirms

239. The UK network of Business Links confirms that it too has seen a growing interest in remote working solutions from small businesses seeking its advice, and claims that as many as 60-70% of the businesses that come through its doors now offer some form of remote working support to their workforces.

譯文　英國(guó)商務(wù)網(wǎng)證實(shí)，他們也發(fā)現(xiàn)小公司對(duì)遠(yuǎn)程辦公越來(lái)越感興趣，并向該網(wǎng)尋求建議。他們聲稱，現(xiàn)在這些公司中通過(guò)該網(wǎng)絡(luò)門戶向其員工提供某種遠(yuǎn)程辦公支持的業(yè)務(wù)多達(dá)60-70％。

點(diǎn)睛　本句的主干是The UK network of Business Links confirms that..., and claims that...。在第一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句it too has seen...中，現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)seeking its advice修飾small businesses；第二個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句as many as 60-70% of...to their workforces中，定語(yǔ)從句that come through its doors修飾the businesses。

考點(diǎn)歸納　offer、supply和provide三者都含有“提供”之意，但在用法上有一定的區(qū)別：

offer意為“主動(dòng)提供，提出做某事”，含有愿意給予之意，常用于offer sb. sth. 或offer to do sth. 結(jié)構(gòu)，后面不能接賓語(yǔ)從句。如：

2) Vegetables supply us with all kinds of vitamins. 蔬菜為我們提供各種維生素。

provide意為“供給，提供”，強(qiáng)調(diào)通過(guò)儲(chǔ)存或準(zhǔn)備的方式為某事做準(zhǔn)備，以在需要時(shí)提供所需物品，常用于provide sb.(with sth.)或provide sth.(for sb.)結(jié)構(gòu)。如：
