复杂的分割结构（插入语）的理解 例228

例228　The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization, at least for the time being, but its role, its size and its programs are now the subject of a nation wide debate in Britain.

【结构分析】这句话是个转折句，but前面的主干是The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization，后面是个介词短语状语做插入语，也就是at least for the time being, but后面的主语是并列的名词，也就是its role, its size and its programs，系动词是are，表语是the subject of a nation wide debate。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点是个典型的转折句，but后面比前面重要，里面的插入语很经典。

【核心词汇】

survive　存在下来

a publicly funded broadcasting organization　一个公共基金支持的广播组织

for the time being　至少目前会这样

the subject of a nation wide debate　成了全国上下的讨论话题

【参考译文】英国广播公司将作为一个公共基金支持的广播组织存在下来，至少目前会这样，但是它的角色、它的规模和它的节目现在在英国成了全国上下的讨论话题。
