复杂的宾语从句以及表语从句的拆分和理解 例53

例53　The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.

【结构分析】这句话是典型的宾语从句The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that...，宾语从句的主语是workers，后面是介词短语in all countries做定语，后面是谓语动词can be trained，后面是介词短语on the job做状语，后面是不定式短语to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living做目的状语。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于宾语从句很复杂，里面有被动语态，还有介词短语，还有不定式短语，难度很大。

【核心词汇】

the findings of a research institution　一家研究机构的研究成果

have consistently shown　一再表明

can be trained　可以培训

achieve radical higher productivity　大幅度提高生产率

radically higher standards of living　提高生活水平

【参考译文】一家研究机构的研究成果一再表明：所有国家的工人都可以进行在职培训以大幅度提高生产率，从而提高生活水平。
