1Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digital technologies to boost productivity in various sectors, including health care and construction, says Coyle.

主干主语:Improving living standards and increasing prosperity;谓语:will require;宾语:greater use of digital technologies

结构两个动名词短语并列作主语;不定式 to boost productivity 作目的状语修饰 use;including... 为介词短语补充说明 sectors;句末 says Coyle 为倒装的引述结构,主句在前。整体为“主语+will require+宾语+目的状语”的长主语结构。

译文科伊尔表示,要提高更多人的生活水平、增进繁荣,就需要更广泛地运用数字技术,以提升医疗、建筑等各行业的生产率。

考点动名词并列作主语时谓语用单数还是复数,视作一个整体时常跟单数概念的 will require · including 引导的介词短语作后置补充,并非非限制性定语从句

2Instead, says Coyle, resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites in a handful of prosperous cities.

主干主语:resentment;谓语:is simmering;地点状语:among many

结构Instead 为句首衔接副词;says Coyle 为插入的引述语;as 引导原因状语从句,从句中 are perceived to go 为被动+不定式结构;in a handful of prosperous cities 修饰 elites。主句进行时强调怨气正在酝酿。

译文科伊尔说,相反,许多人正积压着不满,因为他们觉得好处都流向了少数繁荣城市里的精英。

考点as 此处表原因,不是时间;perceive sb/sth to do 的被动形式 be perceived to · 插入语 says Coyle 打断主句,阅读时先抓 resentment is simmering

3The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographical disparities in wealth will continue to soar.

主干主语:The dominance;谓语:means;宾语:that 引导的从句

结构主语中心词 dominance 后接 of a few cities,再接 in the invention and commercialization of AI 标明领域;means 后接 that 宾语从句;从句主语 geographical disparities in wealth,谓语 will continue to soar。in 短语层层后置,造成主语很长。

译文少数城市在人工智能发明与商业化上的主导地位,意味着地区间的贫富差距将继续急剧拉大。

考点抽象名词 dominance 作主语,of/in 双重后置修饰是考研常见长主语 · mean that 后接完整从句,soar 表示差距急剧扩大

4Not only will this foster political and social unrest, but it could, as Coyle suggests, hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.

主干主语:this / it;谓语:will foster / could hold back;宾语:unrest / the sorts of AI technologies

结构Not only...but... 并列,前一分句因 not only 位于句首而部分倒装(will this foster);as Coyle suggests 为插入的方式/依据状语;needed for... 为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 technologies,其中 for regional economies to grow 为不定式复合结构表目的。

译文这不仅会助长政治与社会动荡,而且正如科伊尔所指出的,还可能阻碍那些区域经济增长所需要的各类人工智能技术。

考点not only 置于句首时助动词提前构成部分倒装 · needed for sb/sth to do 分词定语+不定式复合结构

5A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies that don’t simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care most about, like health care, education, and manufacturing.

主干主语:A more immediate response;谓语:is;表语:to broaden our digital imaginations

结构表语为不定式 to broaden...;其后 to conceive of... 为目的状语;that don’t...but expand... 为定语从句修饰 technologies,内含 not simply...but... 并列;再套一层 that different parts...care most about 定语从句修饰 sectors;like... 举例补充。多层不定式与嵌套定语从句是难点。

译文更立竿见影的办法是拓宽我们对数字技术的想象,去构想这样的人工智能:它不只是取代工作,而是在各地最关心的医疗、教育、制造业等领域创造更多机会。

考点表语不定式后再接目的不定式,注意不要把 to conceive 误当作 is 的表语 · 定语从句中 not simply A but B 与嵌套的 that...care about 需分层拆开
