　　長(zhǎng)難句解析：

　　1.主體句式：These letters are filled with his wrestling.

　　結(jié)構(gòu)分析：這是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，難點(diǎn)在于最后兩個(gè)形容詞詞組的成分(desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy)。這兩個(gè)形容詞詞組用來(lái)修飾前面的名詞creature, 而creature后面緊跟著的that 引導(dǎo)的從句也是修飾它的定語(yǔ)從句。

　　句子譯文：這些信中處處都顯現(xiàn)出休斯因?yàn)樽约撼蔀榘胨饺恕�半公開(kāi)這樣一個(gè)人物反復(fù)掙扎的心理，他渴望將自己奉獻(xiàn)給文字，但又時(shí)時(shí)受到私人空間受到侵襲的威脅。

　　2.主體句式：Then came the hot iron.

　　結(jié)構(gòu)分析：這是一個(gè)有復(fù)雜同位語(yǔ)的一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句。news of …是前面the hot iron的同位語(yǔ)，to shore up the bank’s capital base是不定式短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)修飾前面的measures, 而后面among them …也是用來(lái)修飾measures，具體介紹其中的一些措施。

　　句子譯文：緊接著就來(lái)了hot iron ：報(bào)道有一系列的措施來(lái)支持銀行的資本基礎(chǔ)，其中就有新加坡和中東的君主財(cái)富基金。

　　3.主體句式： The change of approach may be… but …

　　結(jié)構(gòu)分析：這是一個(gè)并列句，but 引導(dǎo)的分句比較復(fù)雜，to avoide …不定式短語(yǔ)作前面a desire的定語(yǔ)，而something that…是a desire的同位語(yǔ)，該同位語(yǔ)中又包含了一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。

　　句子譯文：方法改變可能是審計(jì)員或調(diào)節(jié)員建議的，但更反映了UBS高層的不愿數(shù)月都預(yù)計(jì)銀行曝光的意愿，這個(gè)被首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)arcel Rohner形容為“轉(zhuǎn)移注意力(的方案)”。

　　附：經(jīng)典寫(xiě)作佳句背誦：

　　An increasing number of people are beginning to realize that education is not complete with graduation.

　　越來(lái)越多的人開(kāi)始意識(shí)到教育不能隨著畢業(yè)而結(jié)束。

　　When it comes to education， the majority of people believe that education is a lifetime study.

　　說(shuō)到教育，大部分人認(rèn)為其是一個(gè)終生的學(xué)習(xí)。
