每日一句： 65. Some great manufacturers and great service companies may have become too lean in their relentless drive to reduce costs, outsourcing not just their non-core activities but essential ones too. 【結構分析】本句是一個簡單句，首先分析一下結構：逗號前爲主句，Some great manufacturers and great service companies是主語，may have become是謂語部分， too lean in their relentless drive to reduce costs是表語，其中too…to…結構，句末的現在分詞結構outsourcing not just their non-core activities but essential ones too作伴隨狀語，進一步補充說明reduce costs的具體內容，其中not just…but…爲連接結構。
【詞彙】
manufacturer 生產商
lean adj. 瘦的，貧瘠的，v.傾斜
relentless adj. 無情的
in one’s drive to do 驅動做某事
此處翻譯難點：too..to…太…不能…+ lean具有否定意思，因此抵消之後可以理解爲“熱衷於”，與be keen to do同義。
