复杂的形式主语和形式宾语的拆分和理解 例207

例207　It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.

【结构分析】It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe...，后面是宾语从句that，宾语从句的主语是scientists，后面加上很长的定语从句who know exactly，定语从句后面有两个超级宾语从句where they are going and how they will get there，宾语从句的真正的动词是should not be distracted by，宾语是of结构，the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register，后面是状语从句while the other eye is on the microscope。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点是it无主句套上定语从句，定语从句套上两个宾语从句，后面又加上状语从句，很复杂，特别是并列的宾语从句。
