1Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay, and who would make some money and then go home.

主干主语:those(后接两个定语从句);谓语:came;状语前置:Along with the many folks…

结构完全倒装:地点/伴随状语 Along with… 提前,谓语 came 置于主语 those 之前。looking to… 为现在分词短语修饰 folks。those 后接两个并列 who 定语从句,第二个 who 可省略。intention to stay 为不定式作后置定语。

译文与许多打算在美国永久安家的人一同到来的,还有那些本无意久留、只想挣些钱再回家的人。

考点Along with 引起的完全倒装:状语前置、谓语动词提前 · 并列定语从句修饰 those,第二个关系代词可省

2That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.

主干主语:That framework;谓语:has contributed;介词宾语:our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis

结构contribute to 后接由 and 连接的两个名词短语作宾语。broken 为过去分词作定语。paralysis 后 over how to fix it 为介词+疑问词不定式,作后置定语,说明瘫痪所围绕的问题。

译文这一划分框架极大地加剧了我们支离破碎的移民体系,以及围绕如何修补它而长期陷入的政治僵局。

考点contribute to 后接并列名词短语 · over how to do 作后置定语,表“围绕……的问题”

3We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.

主干主语:We;谓语:need;宾语:them;宾补:to imagine… as a place

结构need sb. to do 结构。imagine… as… 中 as a place 为宾语补足语。where 引导定语从句修饰 place。without committing… 为介词+动名词作状语;commit oneself to 后接动名词 staying。

译文我们需要他们把美国想象成这样一个地方:可以在此高效工作一段时间,而不必承诺永远留下。

考点need sb. to do 与 imagine… as… 套用 · commit oneself to doing:to 为介词,后接动名词

4Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.

主干主语:Looking beyond…(动名词短语);谓语:means;宾语:opening up… and understanding that…

结构动名词短语作主语。means 后接两个并列动名词 opening up 与 understanding。that 引导宾语从句;including some that… 为现在分词短语作定语,其中 that 定语从句修饰 some;not easy to accomplish 为不定式主动表被动。

译文超越非对即错的文化战争逻辑,意味着开辟中间地带,并认识到当今的移民治理需要多种路径和多种结果,其中有些在现行制度下很难合法实现。

考点动名词短语作主语 + means doing · including 引出定语从句;不定式主动形式表被动含义
