例118 As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on and find a better job opportunity that helps them earn a high salary.

【结构分析】这句话的开头是时间状语从句As boards scrutinize succession plans...,后面是介词短语in response to shareholder pressure做状语,主干的主语是executives,后面是定语从句who don't get the nod,第一个动词是may wish to move on,第二个动词是find,后面是宾语a better job opportunity,后面是定语从句that helps them earn a high salary。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点是很长的时间状语从句as,主句还有两个定语从句,而且主干还是并列句,很经典。

【核心词汇】

boards 董事会

scrutinize succession plans 对一系列的计划进行审查

in response to shareholder pressure 迫于股东的压力

don't get the nod 计划被否定掉

wish to move on 也会想离开

a better job opportunity 更好的工作机会

【参考译文】当董事会迫于股东的压力对一系列的计划进行审查的时候,那些计划被否定掉的经理们也会想离开,而且寻找能带来丰厚的收入的更好的工作机会。
