01每日一句长难句
It’s not every day that you get to witness the birth of a new social system. But General Motors’ June 1 bankruptcy, and the company’s likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury, does suggest the arrival of a novel relationship—at least for the United States—between the citizen and his government.


02【句型分析】

本句使用了强调句型的否定式It is not…that…。every day是所强调的内容。But后的句子又使用了do强调句子谓语的强调结构,句中表现为用does强调suggest即does suggest…。主语General Motors’ June 1 bankruptcy后面是插入语and the company’s likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury,对主语起补充说明的作用,宾语是the arrival of a novel relationship,破折号之间是插入语。


03【词汇】
witness 见证

bankruptcy 破产

the U.S. Treasury 美国财政部

novel 创新的


04【参考译文】
不是每天人们都可以见证一个新社会体系的诞生。但是通用6月1日宣告破产,它将在美国财政部的掌控下进行可能的重组,这一事件正是暗示了一种新关系的到来——至少是在美国——公民与政府之间的新型关系。


05【明日长难句】
Americans spend more on fast food than they do on higher education, PCs or new cars—worrying, when a single meal at a KFC of less than a pound-weight of food plus a large Pepsi can top 1,600 calories, not far short of the daily intake recommended by the government for adults doing only “light physical activity”.
