【語法分析】
本句的主干是the researchers believe that…,that引導一個賓語從句。該賓語從句的主干是outside directors have an easier time,介詞短語of…reputations作后置定語修飾time,從句if they…breaks作條件狀語對have進行修飾,逗號后面是even if引導的讓步狀語從句。該從句的主干是a review of history show…,show后面跟一個賓語從句,該賓語從句的主干為they were on the board,介詞短語at the time作時間狀語修飾were on the board,time后面跟一個定語從句對其進行修飾。
【譯文】
但是,研究人員認為,即使以往記錄顯示出現(xiàn)失誤時這些外部董事仍然在董事會,如果他們在爆出壞消息前離開公司,就可以較容易地避免名聲受損。
【考情分析】
對于這句話,同學們最重要的就是弄清楚各個部分的前后邏輯順序。這句話雖然從句比較多,但是分割的界限比較明顯,注意“any wrongdoing occurred”其實是一個定語從句,前面省略了關系副詞“when”。在定語從句中,實際上大部分時候關系副詞時不能省略的,但在修飾時間的時候,在某些名詞后面,比如“day”,“time”,“year”等詞的后面,是可以省略“when”的。然后將狀語從句放在主句前面理解,就能相對清晰的理解本句了。
