复杂的定语从句的拆分和理解 例2

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。
