1Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to grow more trees, the trade body says these don’t go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timber supplies.

主干主语:the trade body;谓语:says;宾语从句:these don’t go far enough and fail to promote the benefits

结构句首 Coming at a time... 为现在分词短语作时间状语,修饰主句。主句为 the trade body says + 宾语从句。从句中 these 指代 incentives,don’t go far enough 与 fail to promote 并列;of planting them 修饰 benefits,to boost timber supplies 为目的状语。

译文正值英国政府出台新激励措施、鼓励土地所有者多种树之际,该行业协会表示,这些措施力度不够,也未能宣传种树对增加木材供应的好处。

考点现在分词短语置于句首作状语,逻辑主语须与主句主语一致 · fail to do 与 go far enough 并列作谓语

2“Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now, but we will also be facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood,” said Stuart Goodall, chief executive of Confor.

主干主语:we;谓语:are facing / will be facing;宾语:a carbon crisis / a future construction crisis

结构直接引语为 not only...but also... 并列结构;not only 位于句首触发部分倒装(are we facing)。because of a failure to plant trees 为原因状语,to produce wood 修饰 trees。said 后为说话人,chief executive of Confor 作 Stuart Goodall 的同位语。

译文康福尔首席执行官斯图尔特·古德尔说:“我们现在不仅面临碳危机,还将因未能种树产材而面临未来的建筑危机。”

考点not only 置于句首引起部分倒装 · 同位语标明人物身份

3“For decades we have not taken responsibility for investing in our domestic wood supply, leaving us exposed to fluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall.”

主干主语:we;谓语:have not taken;宾语:responsibility

结构主句后接现在分词短语 leaving us... 作结果状语;exposed to... 与 fighting for... 并列作 us 的宾语补足语。as 引导时间状语从句,其中 global demand rises 与 our own supplies fall 并列。for decades 为时间状语。

译文“几十年来,我们没有承担起投资国内木材供应的责任,以致在全球需求上升、自身供应下降时,只能被动承受价格波动、争夺未来木材。”

考点leave + 宾语 + 宾补 表示使处于某种状态 · as 引导时间状语从句,内部含并列谓语

4While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to the UK’s net-zero strategy, the focus of government support continues to be on food production and the rewilding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity.

主干主语:the focus of government support;谓语:continues to be;表语:on food production and the rewilding and planting...

结构While 引导让步状语从句,从句中 can deliver... and contribute... 为并列谓语。主句表语为 on + 并列名词短语;solely for biodiversity 修饰 planting of native woodland。rewilding and planting 共用 of native woodland。

译文尽管生产性植树能为乡村经济带来切实的经济效益,并助力英国净零战略,但政府扶持的重点仍是粮食生产,以及仅为生物多样性而进行的再野化和乡土林地种植。

考点while 表让步而非时间 · continues to be on 后接并列名词短语作表语
