19考研英語：屠屠長難句（十二）

1、每日一句長難句（12）

The "shareholders" as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labor was not good.

2、【分析】

這句話結構的突破點是and，and後面是一個簡單的主系表結構，前面比較複雜。the "shareholders"主語， as such作爲修飾， had no knowledge of是謂語部分， the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen是賓語，employed by the company引導分詞結構做後置定語，修飾前面的workmen， in which he held shares是定語從句修飾前面的company。

3、【詞彙】

shareholder 股東

as such 這樣的

have no knowledge of 對…不瞭解；不知道

4、【譯文】

這樣的"股東"對他擁有股份的公司所僱用的工人們的生活、思想和需求一無所知，而且他們對勞資雙方的關係不會產生積極的影響。
