1But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future.

主干主语:there;谓语:are;宾语/表语:signs(后接同位语从句说明迹象内容)

结构even as 引导时间/让步状语从句,主句为 there be 句型。signs 后 that 引导同位语从句,说明迹象的具体内容;从句中 predominance 作主语,may fade 为谓语。within the foreseeable future 作时间状语。even as 强调“即便……仍……”,易被误当成单纯时间。

译文然而,即便说英语的人数还在进一步增加,仍有迹象表明,英语的全球主导地位在可预见的未来可能逐渐消退。

考点even as 兼表时间与让步,译为“即便……仍……” · signs that… 为同位语从句,不是定语从句

2His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generations of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.

主干主语:His analysis;谓语:should end;宾语:any self-contentedness

结构among those 后 who 引导定语从句修饰 those;believe 后 that 引导宾语从句;其中 so…that… 结果状语从句,说明“过于稳固以至于不必再学其他语言”。therefore 衔接上文因果。层层嵌套:定语从句套宾语从句再套结果从句,是典型考研长难句。

译文因此,他的分析应当能打消某些人的自满:这些人或许以为英语的全球地位稳固到英国年轻一代根本不需要额外的语言能力。

考点so…that… 结果状语从句嵌套在宾语从句中 · who 定语从句修饰 those,指持上述信念的人

3If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages, such as Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other languages such as Japanese, French and German, spreads.

主干主语:such trends;谓语:will diminish;宾语:the relative strength of the English language

结构句首 If left to themselves 为过去分词状语,省略 they are,表条件。as 引导原因/伴随状语从句,内含两个并列谓语 grows 与 spreads,主语分别为 the demand 与 outsourcing。such as 插入举例。in international education markets 修饰 strength 的范围。

译文若听之任之,这些趋势将削弱英语在国际教育市场中的相对优势,因为对西班牙语、阿拉伯语或汉语等教育资源的需求在增长,日语、法语、德语等其他语言的国际业务流程外包也在扩散。

考点If left to themselves 为省略主语和 be 的条件状语 · as 从句中两个并列谓语 grows / spreads,注意主谓一致

4The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to the UK’s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors.

主干主语:The changes;谓语:present;宾语:clear and major challenges

结构identified by David Graddol 为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 changes。present challenges to A and to B 为双宾语介词结构,两个 to 并列:一是对海外英语教学提供者,二是对更广泛的教育产业。of English language teaching to people of other countries 层层修饰 providers。all 强调全部变化。

译文戴维·格拉多尔所指出的这些变化,都对英国面向他国人士的英语教学机构以及更广泛的教育产业构成了明确而重大的挑战。

考点present challenges to A and to B 两个 to 并列,勿漏后一个对象 · identified by… 过去分词后置定语

5It gives a basis to all organisations which seek to promote the learning and use of English, a basis for planning to meet the possibilities of what could be a very different operating environment.

主干主语:It;谓语:gives;间接宾语:all organisations;直接宾语:a basis(后重复同位)

结构which 引导定语从句修饰 organisations。第二个 a basis 与第一个同位,补充说明用途:for planning to meet…。what 引导宾语从句作 of 的宾语,could be 表推测。结构上 give A to B, a basis for… 用同位语把“依据”的用途说清,避免头重。

译文它为所有致力于推广英语学习与使用的机构提供了一个依据,使之能够规划如何应对一个可能截然不同的运营环境。

考点第二个 a basis 是同位语,进一步说明依据的用途 · what could be… 名词性从句作 of 的宾语
