MBA英語備考：如何解析長難句

　　19. While warnings are often appropriate and necessary -- the dangers of drug interactions， for example -- and many are required by state or federal regulations， it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. (1998.閱讀.Text A)

　　【譯文】警告往往是恰當且必要的，比如提醒藥物反應帶來的危險，有些警告也是州法或聯(lián)邦法律所要求的。但事實上，若使用者受傷，法律條款并沒有明確地保護生產(chǎn)商或銷售者使其不必承擔責任。

　　【析句】整句話的主干是主句 時間狀語從句，主句中，it作形式主語，真正的主語是they actually protect...from liability，主句里又包括一個if引導的條件狀語從句;while引導的時間狀語從句中，有兩個并列的分句warnings are...and many are...。破折號中間的內(nèi)容屬于插入語，抓主干時可暫時省略。

　　20. As personal injury claims continue as before， some courts are beginning to side with defendants， especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn't have changed anything. (1998.閱讀.Text A)

　　【譯文】隨著人身傷害起訴案件一如既往地不斷增加，一些法庭的判決開始偏向被告，尤其是在商品警告標簽可能起不了多大作用的情況下。
