【長難句】
Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of “float” – it takes several days before a check is cashed and funds are withdrawn from the issuer’s account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime.
【狀語】Third,
【主語】the use of paper checks
【謂語】gives
【賓語】consumers several days of “float”
【同位語】– it takes several days before a check is cashed and funds are withdrawn from the issuer’s account,
【定語】which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime.
【語法分析】本句是主從復(fù)合句，主干是the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of “float”，在該句中consumers是間接賓語，直接賓語和主語都是of介詞短語，即several days of float和the use of paper checks。主句后破折號引出的句子作同位語對主句進行解釋說明，在該句中，介詞短語before a check is cashed and funds are withdrawn from the issuer’s account作時間狀語，理解的時候需要前置；逗號后面是由連詞which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，用來修飾限定前面的句子，在該定語從句中，又出現(xiàn)了由連詞that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。
【譯文】其三，紙質(zhì)支票給消費者提供了幾天的“浮動期”。支票兌現(xiàn)及資金從出票人賬戶中提取需要幾天的時間，這意味著出票人在此期間能夠獲取資金的利息。
