19考研英语：屠屠长难句（十六）

1、每日一句长难句（18）

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

2、【分析】

该句是由but连接的两个转折关系的分句。前半句为The corporation will survive as …，其中at least for the time being的意思是“眼下，暂时”，这里做时间状语。后半句的主干可以表达为A are the subject of B（A是B的对象）。

3、【词汇】

survive v. 幸存；战胜

fund v.投资

for the time being 暂时

4、【译文】

虽然至少目前，它仍可以以公办广播机构的身份生存下去，但它的作用、规模和节目类型却成了全英国争论的话题。
