2018屠屠考研英語長難句 一日一句(38)

每日一句：

As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.

【分析】

句首是as引導的狀語從句，其中move away from後面接了三個並列的賓語their stable community, their friends of many years和their extended family relationships，主句是and連接的兩個句子組合而成的並列句，前面一個句子的主語是the informal flow of information，謂語是is cut off，後面一個句子中，with it是狀語，主語是the confidence，後面that引導同位語從句。注意：後面分句本身結構是the confidence that…. is cut off，由於and前後並列，句尾的is cut off被省略。

【詞彙】

stable 穩定的

cut off切斷

trustworthy 值得信賴的

reliable 可靠的

【譯文】隨着家庭離開他們原來穩定的社區，離開他們多年的朋友和擴展的家庭關係，非正式的信息流動被切斷了，隨之而去的是對在需要時能獲得可靠和值得信賴的信息的信心。
