19考研英語：屠屠長難句（十三）

1、每日一句長難句（13）

His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re-engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long-term profitability.

2、【分析】

逗號之間是插入語，主語是his colleague，謂語say後面是賓語從句，far too many companies是主語， have applied是謂語， re-engineering是賓語， in a mechanistic fashion是狀語，後面chopping引導分詞結構做狀語。

3、【詞彙】

apply vt.應用(to); vi.申請 （for）

in a … fashion 以 ….方式
[寫作句型] Many of us make use of natural resources, dumping in a random fashion without giving sufficient thought to environmental protection. 我們中很多人充分使用資源，卻隨意亂扔，沒有充分考慮環境保護問題。

chop out 削減 = cut down

sufficient a.充分的

give thought to 考慮

long-term 長期的

4、【譯文】

他的同事邁克爾.比爾說，有太多的公司採用機械的方式實行重組，沒有充分考慮長期贏利能力的情況下削減成本。
