今日长难句:

选自《VOA新闻》

Such is the level of mistrust among Hondurans in the electoral process that many fear there could be disturbances in the streets no matter who wins.

洪都拉斯人对选举过程的不信任程度如此之高,以至于许多人担心,无论谁获胜,街头都有可能发生骚乱。



这句话的第一个简单句是一个倒装结构,恢复成正常语序是the level of mistrust is such that….不信任程度如此之高以至于…。在这里把such提前可以有强调的作用,强调不信任的程度之高。洪都拉斯人对选举过程的不信任程度如此之高,以至于什么呢?第二个简单句中many fear之后嵌套了省略了that的宾语从句,以至于很多人担心什么呢?(that)there could be disturbances in the streets,街头有可能发生骚乱,no matter who wins,无论谁获胜。


总结下,这句话由4个简单句组成,4个谓语动词分别是is,fear,could be和wins。整句话意思是:洪都拉斯人对选举过程的不信任程度如此之高,以至于许多人担心,无论谁获胜,街头都有可能发生骚乱。
