考研英语长难句讲解 第76期

 28. However，none of these requirements should deter¹ large retailers³ (and even some large food producers and existing wholesalers) from trying their hand, for those that master the intricacies of wholesaling⁴ in Europe stand to reap considerable gains.

【分析】多重复合句。句子主干为 none of these requirements should deter large retailers...from...。括号内的部分是对宾语 large retailers 的补充。for 引导原因状语从句，其主干为 those...stand to reap considerable gains。that 引导的定语从句修饰 those。

【译文】然而，所有这些要求丝毫不能阻止大型零售商（甚至一些大型食品生产商和现有的批发商）一试身手，因为那些精通欧洲批发业复杂细节的零售商正准备收获可观的利润。

29. Demand comes mainly from two sources: independent mom-and-pop grocery stores, which, unlike large retail² chains are too small to buy straight from producers and food service operators that cater⁵ to consumers when they don't eat at home.

【分析】多重复合句。句子主干为 Demand comes mainly from two sources。冒号后的部分列举 two sources：一是 independent mom-and-pop grocery stores，二是 food service operators，两者分别由 which 和 that 引导的定语从句修饰。which 从句中使用了too...to“太...以至于不能”句型，作比较状语，that 从句中又包含一个 when 引导的时间状语从句。

【译文】需求主要来自两个方面：一是独立经营的夫妻杂货店，它们不同于大型零售连锁店，这种夫妻店因规模太小无法从生产商那里直购；二是向在外就餐的顾客提供饮食服务的经营机构。

【点拨】1)mom-and-pop“夫妻经营的”。2)cater to“迎合；款待；供应伙食”，结合语境，本句中是“供应伙食”的意思。

【临摹】大学应该考虑开设迎合学生兴趣和需要的课程。
