复杂的状语从句的拆分和理解 例134

例134　Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them—especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity.

【结构分析】这句话前半句是时间状语从句Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance，后面是主干a new problem threatens to earn them，后面是这句话的同位语the sort of nasty headlines...，后面是定语从句that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite，冒号后面是补充说明成分data insecurity。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于超长的时间状语从句的使用，主干里面套有同位语和定语从句，是精品的句子，just as这个句子重点信息在主干上，就是欲扬先抑的感觉，所以这种句子以后主要读后半句。

【核心词汇】

bosses and boards　老板们和董事会

sort out　解决

worst accounting and compliance troubles　严重的会计问题以及相伴随着的问题

feeble corporation governance　脆弱的公司管理

nasty headlines　可怕的报纸标题

executive suite　老板办公室

data insecurity　信息不安全

【参考译文】正当老板们和董事会最终解决他们最严重的财会问题以及相伴随着的问题，正当他们改善他们脆弱的公司的管理的时候，一个全新的问题正在引起他们的注意力—特别是在美国—这个严重的问题也登上各大报纸，而且让办公室的老板坐立不安，那就是信息不安全。
