2018屠屠考研英语长难句 一日一句(43)

每日一句：

A survey of news stories in 1996 reveals that the antiscience tag has been attached to many other groups as well, from authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus to Republicans who advocated decreased funding for basic research.

【分析】

主语是A survey of news stories in 1996，reveals是谓语，that引导宾语从句，其中the antiscience tag是主语， has been attached to是被动形式构成谓语，many other groups宾语结构，后面 from authorities …to Republicans…是状语，两个who分别引导定语从句修饰前面的名词。

【词汇】

news stories 新闻报道<注意翻译>

tag标签

be attached to贴于，附属于

authority 权威，政府<写作中写到政府，可以用the authority>

elimination消除

virus 病毒

advocate 倡导<此处需要转换成贬义，可以译成“鼓吹”>

【译文】一项关于1996年新闻报道的调查显示，反科学的标签还可以贴在许多其他团体身上——从提倡消灭最后存留的天花病毒的权威机构，到鼓吹削减基础研究经费的共和党人。
