【文章难句】

Owing to the remarkable development in mass-communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above.

【词汇突破】

mass-communication  

大众通讯   

be exposed to

暴露在... ...之下、面临

introduce

原义“引进”，这里应译为“推行”

innovation

n. 创新，革新；新方法

【结构分析】

这是一个复合句，主句为 people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, 其中 are feeling 和 are being exposed 为两个并列谓语。句首 Owing to ... ... 是介词结构作原因状语，主句后面 while 引导伴随状语。本剧主要考核词义选择和时态的翻译。be exposed to 形式为被动，但具有主动含义，意为“感到”；introduce 原义为“引进”，翻译应将其引申为“推行”，这样才复合句意，表达流畅。
