【長(zhǎng)難句】

【語(yǔ)法分析】
本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句,句首是just as引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,該從句的主語(yǔ)是bosses and boards,后面跟著兩個(gè)并列的謂語(yǔ)成分。主句的主干是a new problem threatens to earn them the sort of nasty headlines,headlines后面跟著一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾,破折號(hào)中的成分是插入語(yǔ),冒號(hào)后面的成分是對(duì)a new problem的解釋說(shuō)明。
【譯文】
當(dāng)老板和董事會(huì)終于解決了最糟糕的財(cái)務(wù)和規(guī)章問(wèn)題并加強(qiáng)了公司管理力度之后,一個(gè)新的問(wèn)題─一數(shù)據(jù)安全問(wèn)題─一正威脅著他們,使他們出現(xiàn)在令人討厭的(尤其是在美國(guó)的)頭版頭條新聞中,公司管理層進(jìn)而不可避免地受到懲罰。
【考情分析】
這句話注意冒號(hào)后面的“data insecurity”,這是一個(gè)對(duì)前面“a new problem”的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明,意在進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。
