1In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn't affect her.

主干主语:Miranda Priestly;谓语:scolds;宾语:her unattractive assistant

结构句首介词短语"In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada"作时间状语,修饰全句;主语后插入同位语"played by Meryl Streep"解释身份;"for imagining"作目的状语,"imagining that high fashion doesn't affect her"中"that"引导宾语从句说明想象内容。主干主谓宾清晰,状语与插入语层层嵌套,易混淆插入语位置与状语功能。

译文在2006年电影《穿 Prada 裙》的版本中,由梅丽尔·斯特里普饰演的米兰达·普列斯特里斥责她不吸引人的助理,因为她想象高端时尚不会影响她。

2Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant's sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.

主干主语:Priestly;谓语:explains;宾语:how the deep blue color of the assistant's sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment

结构"how"引导宾语从句,"the deep blue color of the assistant's sweater"为主语,"descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin"为谓语,"in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment"为定语从句修饰"bargain bin"。句子结构层层嵌套,时间状语与定语从句结合,易误解从句边界与修饰关系。

译文普列斯特里解释说,助理的毛衣深蓝色的颜色多年以来从时装秀到百货商店,再到那个可怜女孩无疑找到的廉价货架。

3For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.

主干主语:H&M;谓语:must rely... order... and use...;宾语:low-wage overseas labor, volumes that strain natural resources, harmful chemicals

结构"For ... to offer ..."作原因状语从句,"it"指代H&M,谓语为并列结构"must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals","that strain natural resources"为定语从句修饰"volumes"。经典的"For...to...,it must..."结构,易混淆主语与状语从句边界。

译文要让H&M在全球2300多家门店里销售5.95美元的针织迷你裙,它必须依赖低工资海外劳动力,按量订货以消耗自然资源,并使用大量有害化学品。

4By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.

主干主语:these brands;谓语:have hijacked;宾语:fashion cycles

结构"By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices"作方式状语,"Cline argues"为插入成分,"these brands have hijacked fashion cycles"为主干,"shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace"为现在分词作伴随状语,"long accustomed to a seasonal pace"为定语从句修饰"industry"。状语、插入语与分词结构交织,易误解修饰关系与句意重点。

译文通过提供时尚商品以极低价格,这些品牌已经劫持了时尚周期,动摇了长期习惯季节性节奏的行业。

5Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment – including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line – Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer.

主干主语:Cline;谓语:believes;宾语:lasting change

结构"Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment"作让步状语从句,插入成分"including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line",主句"Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer","can only be effected"为被动语态。让步从句与插入成分结合,易混淆让步与主句因果关系。

译文尽管有几家快时尚公司努力控制其对劳动力和环境的影响——包括H&M的绿色有意识系列——但克莱恩认为持久的改变只能由消费者来实现。
