1But, with this newfound connection, many of us share sensitive, sometimes highly confidential information, even though over a third of people don't realise that AI platforms may not be very good at keeping our secrets... secret.
主干主语:many of us;谓语:share;宾语:sensitive, sometimes highly confidential information
结构主干为 many of us share information。句首 with this newfound connection 是介词短语作状语,表伴随背景;sensitive 与 sometimes highly confidential 并列修饰 information,sometimes 是插入的频度副词;even though 引导让步状语从句,从句中 that 引导宾语从句作 realise 的宾语;keep our secrets... secret 是 keep+宾语+宾补结构,省略号为原文强调。
译文但是,伴随着这种新建立起来的亲近感,我们中的许多人会向 AI 透露敏感的、有时甚至高度机密的信息,尽管超过三分之一的人并没有意识到,AI 平台在替我们保守秘密方面可能并不那么在行。
考点even though 引导让步状语从句,主从句之间构成转折对比 · keep + 宾语 + 形容词宾补结构:keep our secrets secret,第二个 secret 作宾语补足语
2It grants Microsoft broad rights to the data inputted or outputted by any user—rights to use this data in any way it sees fit, it can even share it with third parties.
主干主语:It;谓语:grants;间接宾语:Microsoft;直接宾语:broad rights to the data
结构主干为 It grants Microsoft broad rights,grant sb. sth. 为双宾结构。inputted or outputted by any user 是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 data;破折号后的 rights to use this data in any way it sees fit 是前面 broad rights 的同位语,其中 it sees fit 是省略 that 的定语从句修饰 way;句末 it can even share it with third parties 是补充说明的并列分句。
译文它赋予微软对任何用户输入或输出的数据的广泛权利——即以它认为合适的任何方式使用这些数据的权利,它甚至可以将这些数据与第三方共享。
考点破折号引出同位语,对前面的 broad rights 进行解释说明 · it sees fit 是省略关系词的定语从句,修饰 way;see fit 意为「认为合适」
3The situation presents a delicate balance between leveraging AI for its productivity gains and risking confidential data exposure.
主干主语:The situation;谓语:presents;宾语:a delicate balance
结构主干为 The situation presents a delicate balance。between... and... 介词短语作后置定语修饰 balance,连接两个动名词短语 leveraging AI for its productivity gains 和 risking confidential data exposure,二者形成语义上的对立:一边是利用 AI 提高生产力,一边是冒机密数据泄露的风险。present 此处意为「呈现出、带来」。
译文这种局面呈现出一种微妙的平衡:一方面要利用 AI 带来的生产力提升,另一方面又要冒着机密数据泄露的风险。
考点between A and B 结构中 A、B 均为动名词短语,注意二者语义对立 · present 熟词僻义,此处不作「礼物」或「出席」讲,而意为「呈现、带来」
4There are so many products out there, being promoted with huge advertising and marketing budgets, that it's easy to fall victim.
主干主语:so many products;谓语:are(there be 句型);结果状语从句:that it's easy to fall victim
结构本句为 there be 句型与 so... that... 结果状语从句的嵌套。主干 There are so many products out there;being promoted with huge advertising and marketing budgets 是现在分词的被动式作后置定语,修饰 products,表示「正被以巨额广告和营销预算推广」;that 引导结果状语从句,从句中 it 为形式主语,真正主语是 to fall victim。
译文市面上的产品如此之多,而且都在以巨额的广告和营销预算进行推广,以至于人们很容易上当受骗。
考点so... that... 结构被插入的分词定语隔开,注意不要把 that 从句误判为定语从句 · being promoted 为现在分词被动式作后置定语,表正在进行的被动动作;fall victim 意为「受害、上当」
