第313句 油价上涨
One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand.
译文:油价上涨不会导致失眠的另一个原因是,与20世纪70年代不同,这次油价上涨不是发生在物价普遍上涨及全球需求过旺的背景之下。
点睛:本句的主干为One more reason... is that…,that引导一个表语从句,其中不定式结构not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices是后置定语,修饰reason。句中表语从句的主干为it has not occurred against…,其主语it指代的是the rise in oil prices。unlike the rises in the 1970s是插入语。lose sleep over意为“因…而失眠”,例如:
I lost sleep over an Irish coffee last night.
昨晚因为喝了杯爱尔兰咖啡,我失眠了。
但是sleep in则指“睡懒觉”或“睡过头了”。
Do you often sleep in on weekends?
你喜欢在周末睡懒觉吗?
be against the background of...“在…的背景之下”,其中介词against有“对照;衬托;以…为背景”的意思。
dark colors against a fair skin.
深色衬托出白皙的肌肤
Against the background of international economic integration,Chinese businesses are trying various means to optimize their mode of business operation.
面对全球市场的一体化趋势,中国企业纷纷寻找最适合生意发展的经营途径。
