英语六级-攻克阅读关键句108. Those trying to address issues of racial

108. Those trying to address issues of racial inequality need to constantly remind people of the inequalities that still exist to counteract the Obama effect, she says.

译文　

她说，那些致力于解决种族不平等问题的人需要不断地提醒人们，不平等现象仍然存在，以此抵消“奥巴马效应”。

点睛　

本句的主干是Those...need to...remind people...。动名词短语trying to address issues of racial inequality是主语those的后置定语。介词短语of the inequalities...是people的宾语补足语，其中that引导的是inequalities的定语从句，to counteract the Obama effect是remind的目的状语。句末的she says为插入语。
address在句中意为“致力于”。如：
He addresses himself only to his work and nothing else. 他致力于工作，不管其他的事。
remind sb. of...的意思是“使某人回想起或意识到”。如：
This song reminds me of my childhood. 我一听到这首歌就会想起我的童年。
counteract的意思是“对抗；抵消”，此外还有“削弱；阻碍”的意思。如：
We should counteract media influence on teenagers. 我们应该削弱媒体对青少年的影响。

“对……讲演或发表演说”。如：
I'm kind of nervous to address the audience tomorrow. 明天要向听众发表演讲，这让我有点紧张。

“提出（警告、抗议等）”。如：
