复杂的同位语从句的拆分和理解 例105

例105　Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.

【结构分析】句子开始用了一个介词短语Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising，做状语，修饰整个句子，其中the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising是个同位语从句，主句运用了双重否定句，主语是no regular advertiser，动词是dare promote，宾语是a product，后面加上定语从句是that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于运用了双重否定，很多肯定句子用双重否定，更加有亲和力，作文可以用双重否定，中国人喜欢肯定句，美国人喜欢用双否定句，来代替肯定句，双重否定句可以翻译成肯定句，更好理解。

【核心词汇】
