第212句 政府引发的争论
the debate was launched by the government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the bbc-including ordinary listeners and viewers-to say what was good or bad about the corporation, and even whether they thought it was worth keeping.
译文:英国政府发起了这场争论,它邀请任何对bbc有看法的人——包括普通的听众和电视观众——对公司的好坏进行评说,甚至他们对公司是否值得办下去的想法。
点睛:本句的主干是the debate was launched by the government,其后由which引导定语从句whichinvited anyone with an opinion of the bbc...修饰government,定语从句中不定式to say后面是两个并列的宾语从句:一个由what引导,另一个由whether引导,两部分由and连接;副词even表示进一步强调。此外,两个破折号之间的部分属于插入成分,用来进一步定义anyone。anyone后面昀with介词短语也是用来修饰anyone的。
n. 辩论,讨论
vt. 争论,思考
