今日长难句：

Such levies are no universal remedy as the amounts raised would be tiny compared with what has been taken away by central government since 2010.

这样的征税并不是万能的补救措施，因为与中央政府自2010年以来收回的资金相比，这样征收到的资金微不足道。

第一步 划分句子成分，进行断句

Such levies /are no universal remedy /as the amounts raised would be tiny/ compared with/ what has been taken away /by central government /since 2010.

第二步 抓动词、主语，句子主框架显现

Such levies /are no universal remedy /as the amounts raised would be tiny/ compared with/ what has been taken away /by central government /since 2010.

上来第一句找到了一个 be动词：are ---levies 做主语，宾语是remedy补救措施。

也就是levies are no remedy 征税不是补救措施。

as 因为 引导原因，引出后半句原因的说明，这里等于because。

compared with 前者和后者的比较，那么可以从这个逻辑层次入手，找到被进行比较的两者。

the amount raised筹集征收的钱 vs. what has been taken away by central government since 2010 自从2010年中央政府收回的钱

这两者比较 前者 would be tiny 太微不足道了。

take away这里是动词短语的被动语态 taken away by central government since 2010

最后从头到尾梳理一下，轻松得到句子清晰完整的原貌。

Such levies /are no universal remedy /as the amounts raised would be tiny/ compared with/ what has been taken away /by central government /since 2010.

核心要点：

1. remedy 良药
