英语六级攻克阅读关键句328. Thus many in the industrial lands have a
328. Thus many in the industrial lands have a sense that their world of plenty is somehow hollow—that, misled by a consumerist culture, they have been fruitlessly attempting to satisfy what are essentially social, psychological and spiritual needs with material things.
译文 因而在工业社会，许多人有这样一种感觉，即他们富足的世界不知怎的有些空虚——也就是说，由于受到消费主义文化的误导，他们徒劳地企图用物质来满足那些基本的社会、心理以及精神领域的需求。
点睛 本句的主干是...many...have a sense that...。第一个that引导的是同位语从句that their world of plenty is somehow hollow，对sense进行解释；破折号后的内容亦是that引导的同位语从句，同样对sense进行解释说明；过去分词短语misled by a consumerist culture作前置的定语，修饰其后的they；what引导的宾语从句what are essentially...material things作satisfy的宾语。
somehow意为“不知何故，不知怎的”。如：
Everything is out of order, somehow. 不知何故，一切都乱了套。
hollow在句中意为“空虚的”，该词本义为“空的；凹的”。如：
The patient has hollow cheeks. 这个病人双颊凹陷。
mislead意为“使误解；使误入歧途”。如：
Her attitude misled me into thinking I could trust her. 她的态度让我误以为我可以信任她。
fruitlessly意为“徒劳地”。如：
The hunter hunts fruitlessly in the snowing day. 猎人在下雪天打猎，徒劳无功。
essentially意为“本质上，根本上”。如：
His analysis is essentially correct. 他的分析在本质上是正确的。
