Matter Predominant Positions People Material Evoke Affection Walzer's

译文: 然而W的论点不管有什么样的缺陷也确实指出了 资本主义的一个最为严重的弱点 ——那就是,它(资本主义 那些 不论是如何合法地赚到他们的物质回报的, 但是往往缺乏那些 能唤起别人的爱戴和崇敬的品质的)]带到 /社会上的显要位置/。

explain

解释: 第一个插入语however deficient中的however在此不是转折连词,而是副词,等于no matter how;但是因为后面出现了no matter how,而作者又追求语言表述的多样性,所以作者在此使用了however deficient这样较为少见的(但在GRE考试中多见的)语言。

尽管本句的插入语较多,第二个插入语还很长,但是本句的真正难点在倒装上。破折号后面的部分是主句宾语的同位语从句,此从句中固定搭配bring A to B被倒装成了bring to B A。如果把这句话恢复成正常语序,则是it brings peoplewhono matter how legitimately they have earned their material rewards, often lack those other qualities (that evoke affection or admiration)]/to predominant positions in a society/。很明显,这样的语序会显得头重脚轻。
