2014年英语四级阅读难句解析(67)

　　"Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. (06.12 Passage 2)

　　分析主干："Wellness"may be viewed not as a state but as an ideal

　　not... but...用来连接两个并列的成分，并对其中之一予以否定。对另一个予以肯定。句中两个that 引导的定语从句，分别修饰a state 和an ideal。

　　译文：“健康”也许最好不是被看做一种人们能够达到的状态，而是被看做一个人们为之努力的理想。
