2018屠屠考研英语长难句 一日一句(42)

每日一句：

New ways of organizing the workplace——all that re-engineering and downsizing——are only one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in education and training.

【分析】

破折号之间是插入语，主语是New ways of organizing the workplace，谓语是are，one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy是表语，which引导定语从句，谓语是被动概念，such as后面引导三个并列名词部分解释many other factors。

【词汇】

downsize缩小规模

be driven by受到…的驱使

overall 整体的

joint investment联合投资--->joint 共同的，集合的= collective

【译文】企业重组的新方法——所有那些重新设计、缩小规模的做法——只是对一个经济的整体生产力做出了一方面的贡献。这种经济的整体生产力还受许多其他因素的驱动，比如设备和机械上的联合投资、新技术，以及在教育和培训上的投资。
