字號(hào):

1.These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices.
    如今,從事體力勞動(dòng)的人的收入一般要比坐辦公室的人高出許多。
    語言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:far more money than…是典型的比較結(jié)構(gòu)。一個(gè)who分別引導(dǎo)一個(gè)定語從句,分別修飾“兩種不同類型”的工作人群。
    語言點(diǎn)2:表示“當(dāng)前,目前”的短語總結(jié):
    These days 如今;at present 目前;at the present time 目前;currently 當(dāng)今;nowadays 目前;for the moment目前;for the time being 時(shí)下;presently 時(shí)下。

    語言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:who引導(dǎo)定語從句,修飾people。White-collar workers用引號(hào)括起,為借代修辭格。That引導(dǎo)同位語從句,解釋說明reason的內(nèi)容。
    3.Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers.
    許多人常常情愿放棄較高的薪水以換取做白領(lǐng)工人的殊榮,此乃人之常情。
    語言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:such為代詞,放在句首,引起句子倒裝。
