例2 Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into "a markedly different, more vibrant organization."

【结构分析】冒号前面的句子主干是Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted,冒号后面的主语是Alex Ross,后面是插入语a classical-music critic,动词是has described,直接宾语是him, as后面是间接宾语a man,后面是定语从句who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into "a markedly different, more vibrant organization"。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于冒号后面是个定语从句,该定语从句的形容词是两个超级褒义词,different和vibrant。

【核心词汇】

widely noted 广泛的关注

a classical-music critic 一名古典音乐的批评家

capable of 能够

Philharmonic 爱乐乐团

markedly different 完全不同的

more vibrant 更加有活力的

【参考译文】Gilbert对新音乐兴趣已经被广泛的关注了:Alex Ross,一名古典音乐的批评家,就这样描述道:他能够把爱乐乐团变成一个完全不同,更加有活力的组织。
