explain

解释: 作为主语的the mass-production philosophy 中的philosophy如果理解成“哲学”这个意思,其实并不到位。在此是哲学的引伸义:某种人做某些事情时抱有的观念、态度、理念等,其英文释义为:the most general beliefs,concepts,and attitudes of an individual or group。

从in order to开始直到句末,是句子的目的状语;其中实际上包含了以and相连接的两个in order to,and之后的那个in order to中省略了与前面相同的in order。本句初读之下最让人感到别扭的是两个倒装:在in order to utilize /fully/expensive,component-specific equipment and in order to occupy /fully/ workers (who have been trained to execute one operation efficiently)当中,两个fully其实都应该被放到后面,正常的说法是:utilize something fully,但是因为第二个in order to utilize的宾语workers 加上定语从句的修饰(who have been trained to execute one operation efficiently)后变得很长,如果原文把fully放到句末,则句子的结构显得笨拙,因此fully被提前;这样,为了句子结构的对称,前一个fully也不得不倒装,因此就出现了本句这样的“双倒装”结构。
