19考研英語：屠屠長難句（四十）

1每日一句長難句
New ways of organizing the workplace——all that re-engineering and downsizing——are only one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in education and training.
 

2【分析】
破折號之間是插入語，主語是New ways of organizing the workplace，謂語是are，one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy是表語，which引導定語從句，謂語是被動概念，such as後面引導三個並列名詞部分解釋many other factors。

3【詞彙】
downsize 縮小規模

be driven by 受到…的驅使

overall 整體的

joint investment 聯合投資--->joint 共同的，集合的= collective

4【譯文】
企業重組的新方法——所有那些重新設計、縮小規模的做法——只是對一個經濟的整體生產力做出了一方面的貢獻。這種經濟還受許多其他因素的驅動，比如設備和機械上的聯合投資、新技術，以及在教育和培訓上的投資。

5【明日長難句】
A survey of news stories in 1996 reveals that the antiscience tag has been attached to many other groups as well, from authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus to Republicans who advocated decreased funding for basic research.
