1、每日一句長難句（24）

The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.

2、【分析】

此句主幹是The rise of anti-happy art…tracks the emergence of mass media…and ….a commercial culture。其中track是謂語動詞，and連接兩個名詞作賓語。with it充當狀語，其中it指the emergence of mass media。另外，in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology是一個定語從句，修飾a commercial culture。

3、【詞彙】

track v.追蹤

emergency n.出現

mass media 大衆媒體

not just…but… = not only…but also… = not merely… but also… = not simply…but also…

ideal n.理想

4、【譯文】

反快樂藝術的興起幾乎完全與大衆傳媒同步出現，而隨之興起了一種商業文化，在這種文化中，快樂不僅是一個理想，而且是一種意識形態。
