第342句
In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.
译文：约翰·麦克沃特是一位语言学家，同时也是一位兼有自由主义和保守主义思想的辩护家。在他最新的著作《做自己的事：语言和音乐的退化以及我们为什么应该喜欢或在意？》中，他认为正式英语的衰退应该归咎于20世纪60年代反文化运动的胜利。
点睛：本句的主干为... John McWhorte...sees the triumph... as responsible...。句首的介词短语In his latest book作状语．Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should Like,Care是书名，作book的同位语。主语John Mc Whorter和谓语sees之间是主语的同位语，对主语进行补充说明。controversialist指“争论者，好争论者”，其形容词为controversial。conservative可作形容词和名词，分别指“保守的，支持传统的观点和社会准则的；守旧的，在风格上传统的或拘谨的”和“保守主义者；保守党”。
