例258　In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.

【结构分析】这句话考的是not only...but also...这种固定搭配，这句话的主语是the concept of private property，动词是embraces，其中第一个宾语是the ownership of productive resources，第二个宾语是certain rights，后面加上分词定语including the right修饰前面的名词，后面再加上两个并列的不定式短语做定语，一个是to determine the price of a product，一个是to make a free contract with another private individual。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于大并列和小并列，大并列是两个宾语，小并列是两个不定式并列，很经典。

【核心词汇】

private property　私有财产

embrace　包括

ownership of productive resources　生产资料所有制

make a free contract　签订自由合同

【参考译文】在美国经济中，私有财产的定义不仅包括生产资料的所有制，还包括某些权利，比如定价权或与另外一个个体户签订自由合同的权利。
