explain

解释: 句子的主架构简单,就是the factors have been either A or B;但是句中对factors和A、B都加了大量的修饰成分,使得句子变得很长、很复杂。

首先,修饰主语the factors的定语中的drives在此不是我们通常所知的动词用法,而是作名词,指某种群体性运动或过程,其英文释义为a strong systematic group effort <a fund-raising drive>,同义词是ENTERPRISE。后面的用either...or...连接起来的两种情况中,各有一个插入语作例子,之后又各有一个不定式作插入语前面的情况的后置定语。

需要提醒读者的是,笔者在此所作的语法分析的目的,仍是为了使大家把句子看懂;而一旦看懂之后,就要坚决地抛弃语法分析这一工具;永远不要忘了你阅读的惟一目的,就是在阅读现场迅速地将所读内容看懂。也不要忘了本书的对难句的训练方法,是反复阅读这些难句而不是反复分析这些语法。 笔者之所以再次罗嗦此点,实在是担忧本书会给大家带来副作用,以后不再重复。
