    一、等價結構
    Text 1(2005)
    Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance.
    [分析] 等價結構一:fat 呼應bigger
    等價結構二:outraged=grievance(兩句之間是遞進結構)。
    等價結構三:“all too human”=other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance(逗號之后為解釋)
    And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.
    [分析] 等價結構:resentment=Indeed之前句子所表達的意思,因為Indeed表示遞進。
    Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone.
    [分析] 等價結構:preserve= alone(由not…alone結構可知)。
    However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.
    [分析] 等價結構:stems from=evolved(or連接并列結構)。
    Text 3(2005)
    And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better.
    [分析] 等價結構:harnessed=brought under conscious control(not only…but連接遞進結構)。
