19考研英語：屠屠長難句（八十一）

01每日一句長難句
It’s not every day that you get to witness the birth of a new social system. But General Motors’ June 1 bankruptcy, and the company’s likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury, does suggest the arrival of a novel relationship—at least for the United States—between the citizen and his government.

02【句型分析】

本句使用了強調句型的否定式It is not…that…。every day是所強調的內容。But後的句子又使用了do強調句子謂語的強調結構，句中表現爲用does強調suggest即does suggest…。主語General Motors’ June 1 bankruptcy後面是插入語and the company’s likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury，對主語起補充說明的作用，賓語是the arrival of a novel relationship，破折號之間是插入語。

03【詞彙】
witness 見證

bankruptcy 破產

the U.S. Treasury 美國財政部

novel 創新的

04【參考譯文】
不是每天人們都可以見證一個新社會體系的誕生。但是通用6月1日宣告破產，它將在美國財政部的掌控下進行可能的重組，這一事件正是暗示了一種新關係的到來——至少是在美國——公民與政府之間的新型關係。

05【明日長難句】
Americans spend more on fast food than they do on higher education, PCs or new cars—worrying, when a single meal at a KFC of less than a pound-weight of food plus a large Pepsi can top 1,600 calories, not far short of the daily intake recommended by the government for adults doing only “light physical activity”.
