Mr. de Blasio’s critics complain that he has done his best to hobble charter schools, which offer poor New Yorkers a way out of the worst public schools. (His election campaign was backed by labour unions, which detest non-union charters.) More broadly, the mayor’s detractors worry that he will burn through the surplus built up by his more businesslike predecessor, Michael Bloomberg.
    這個(gè)段落選自2015年《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》一月份的文章《The Blue Thread Frays》（磨損的藍(lán)線），在這個(gè)段落中，考生需要著重注意以下幾點(diǎn)：
    (1) Mr. de Blasio’s critics complain that he has done his best to hobble charter schools, which offer poor New Yorkers a way out of the worst public schools.
    (2) His election campaign was backed by labour unions, which detest non-union charters.
    (3) More broadly, the mayor’s detractors worry that he will burn through the surplus built up by his more businesslike predecessor, Michael Bloomberg.
    在第一個(gè)句子中，大家可以先看看這個(gè)句子的主干以及內(nèi)嵌的從句結(jié)構(gòu)；這是一個(gè)主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)：
    主語（Mr. de Blasio’s critics）+謂語（complain）+賓語（that he has done his best to hobble charter schools, +非限制性定語從句（which offer poor New Yorkers a way out of the worst public schools. ））
    賓語從句的標(biāo)志之一是在謂語動(dòng)詞之后，另外考生也要看到那些“不正經(jīng)”的it以及“擾亂人心”的被動(dòng)語態(tài)；
    第二個(gè)句子中的亮點(diǎn)詞匯是“backed”，且語態(tài)也是我們必須要了解的“was backed by”；除此之外，這篇文章的作者真的很喜歡非限制性定于從句，這個(gè)句子嵌套著一個(gè)非限“which detest non-union charters”。
    第三個(gè)句子中，句子主干：
    主（the mayor’s detractors）+謂（worry）+賓（that he will burn through the surplus built （分詞結(jié)構(gòu)作后置定語）up by his more businesslike predecessor, Michael Bloomberg（同位語）.）
    Built作為build的過去式和過去分詞，在長難句中出現(xiàn)這樣的形式，對于基礎(chǔ)較差且分不清時(shí)態(tài)，找不到謂語動(dòng)詞的考生而言簡直是“花式吊打”，這個(gè)時(shí)候考生就需要將句中主干的謂語動(dòng)詞抓出來，即賓語從句中主干的謂語動(dòng)詞；
    對于英語而言，英語句子中的謂語動(dòng)詞向來堅(jiān)持“一山不能容二虎，除非主從和并列”的原則?？忌粝胝嬉愣L難句，這一原則是必須理解到位的！
    參考譯文：德布拉西奧先生的批評者抱怨他的“盡力”阻礙了特許學(xué)校的發(fā)展，而特許學(xué)校為紐約的窮人提供了離開糟糕的公立學(xué)校的機(jī)會(huì)。支持（backed）他競選的工會(huì)厭惡非工會(huì)的特許學(xué)校。更廣泛的說，市長的反對者擔(dān)心他會(huì)將他善于經(jīng)營的前任-邁克爾 布隆伯格-建立的盈余消耗殆盡。
