1This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.
主干主语：this same absence of moral purpose；谓语：was wounding；宾语：companies such as News International
结构主句后插入she thought作插入语。making引导现在分词短语作结果状语，其中it作形式宾语，真正宾语为that引导的宾语从句；as it had为方式状语从句，省略谓语lost its way，with短语表伴随原因。
译文她认为，同样的道德目的缺失正在伤害像新闻国际这样的公司，使其更有可能迷失方向，就像它因大规模非法窃听电话而迷失过一样。
考点现在分词making作结果状语，后接形式宾语it + that从句 · as it had省略了与主句相同的谓语lost its way
2As the hacking trial concludes – finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge – the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands.
主干主语：the wider issue of dearth of integrity；谓语：still stands
结构As引导时间状语从句。破折号内为插入的现在分词短语finding...and finding...，补充说明审判结果，其中guilty和innocent作宾语补足语，for conspiring作原因状语。主句结构简单，破折号内容较长造成理解难度。
译文随着窃听案审判结束——判定《世界新闻报》前主编安迪·库尔森密谋窃听电话罪名成立，而其前任丽贝卡·布鲁克斯则被判无罪——诚信缺失这一更广泛的问题依然存在。

3One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived.
主干主语：one of the astonishing revelations；谓语：was；表语：how little... / how little... / the fact that...
结构表语由三个并列成分构成：两个how little引导的感叹性名词性从句，以及the fact that同位语从句。what went on为of的宾语从句；how the stories arrived为inquired的宾语从句。并列结构较长，需理清层次。
译文令人震惊的披露之一是，丽贝卡·布鲁克斯对自己新闻编辑室里发生的事情知之甚少，她很少想到去过问，而且事实上她从未询问过那些报道是如何得来的。
考点how little引导名词性从句作表语 · 三个并列成分：两个how从句 + the fact that同位语从句
4It’s increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.
主干形式主语：it；谓语：is increasingly apparent；真正主语：that从句
结构It is apparent that为形式主语句型。that从句中主语为the absence of purpose, of a moral language，两个of短语并列修饰absence；within...作后置定语修饰language；could become为谓语，one of...作表语。
译文越来越明显的是，政府、媒体或商界缺乏目标、缺乏道德话语，可能成为资本主义和自由最危险的目标之一。
