复杂的状语从句的拆分和理解 例116

例116　Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well.

【结构分析】这句话是个典型的转折句，转折句前半句的主语是Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes，动词是have debated，宾语是the social implications of these changes，转折句的后半句的的主语是few，动词是have looked at，宾语是the side effect，冒号后面解释前面的名词，也就是family risk has risen as well。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于转折前半句的主语很难，是个排比的短语，转折的后半句的冒号用得很到位，详细阐明了女人就业的副作用。

【核心词汇】

stripe　斑纹，条纹

all stripes　各行各业

implication　牵连，涉及；含意；暗示

side effect　次要的影响

【参考译文】学者、政策制定者和各行各业的批评者对这些变化（女人就业）的社会意义进行了辩论，但是几乎没有人关注其次要的影响：家庭风险也增加了。
