1France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.

主干主语:France;谓语:has decided;宾语:its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women

结构句子主干是“France has decided its fashion industry has lost...”这是一个主句。非限制性定语从句“which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion”修饰France,插入了法国自豪的背景信息。宾语从句“its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women”作decide的宾语,包含了“has lost...to define”的结构,to不定式作目的状语。整体结构复杂,包含了非限制性定语从句和宾语从句,容易在阅读时忽略从句间的逻辑连接。

译文法国一直以自身是全球时尚创新者而自豪,如今决定其时尚业已丧失了为女性定义身体美的绝对权利。

2Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.

主干主语:Its lawmakers;谓语:gave;宾语:preliminary approval to a law

结构句子主干是“Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval...to a law”。介词短语“last week”作时间状语修饰动词。宾语“preliminary approval”后接不定式“to a law”,而“that would make it a crime...”是限制性定语从句修饰“a law”,其中“would make it a crime”是一个虚拟条件句式,“to employ...”是动名词短语作make的宾语。插入成分“last week”增加了时间信息,整个句子通过从句嵌套展示了法律的复杂性。

译文法国议员上周初步批准了一项法律,该法律将使在秀场上雇用超薄模特的行为成为犯罪。

考点限制性定语从句的修饰 · 虚拟语气在条件从句中的应用

3The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty.

主干主语:The bans;谓语:would suggest;宾语:to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty

结构句子主干是“The bans would suggest...”。条件状语从句“if fully enforced”置于句首,修饰整个主句,表示假设条件。插入成分“(and many men)”是对“women”的补充说明。宾语从句“that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty”是suggest的宾语,其中“should”表示虚拟语气,强调建议性。特殊句式“would suggest”结合条件从句,结构紧凑且逻辑严密。

译文如果这些禁令得到全面执行,它们将向女性(以及许多男性)表明,不应让他人成为自己美貌的仲裁者。

考点条件状语从句的置于句首 · 虚拟语气的运用

4The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep – and bone-showing.

主干主语:The French measures;谓语:rely;宾语:too much on severe punishment

结构句子主干是“The French measures rely...”。插入成分“however”用于转折,连接前后句。动名词短语“to change a culture”作目的状语,修饰“rely”。“that still regards beauty as skin-deep”是非限制性定语从句修饰“a culture”,其中“skin-deep – and bone-showing”是插入成分,强调肤浅的本质。特殊句式“rely too much on...to...”表示过度依赖某种手段达到目的,结构复杂。

译文然而,法国这些措施过分依赖严厉惩罚来改变一种仍将美貌视为肤浅——甚至是骨瘦如柴的文化。

考点插入成分的运用 · 动名词短语作目的状语

5The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.

主干主语:The charter’s main tool of enforcement;谓语:is;宾语:to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week

结构句子主干是“The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny...”。动名词短语“to deny access...”作表语,说明工具的具体内容。插入成分“(CFW)”是Copenhagen Fashion Week的缩写。非限制性定语从句“which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute”修饰“Copenhagen Fashion Week”,解释其主办机构。整体结构通过动名词表语和从句修饰,突出了工具的定义和背景。

译文该章程的主要执法工具是拒绝设计师和模特经纪公司参加哥本哈根时装周(CFW),而CFW由丹麦时装协会主办。
