With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to. (Reading Comprehension Part A Text 3)
参考译文:随着英国公投决定脱离欧盟,且GDP业已断定将因之下滑,此时正是考量其话语所指的最佳时机。
必备词汇和短语:vote 投票;predict 预测;timely 适时的;assess 评估;refer to 指的是
主干:it is a timely moment to assess what he was referring to
重点分析:本句虽然长度不是很长,词汇难度不算很高,但是开头是一个 with 结构作状语,接着主干里面是一个 it 作形式主语的句子,同时句子里还嵌套一个 what he was referring to 这个宾语从句,也需要大家抽丝剥茧地来进行分析,才能把句子意思给理解清楚。
