The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world, made profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.
重点单词及短语：unstoppably adv. 不可抵挡地
increasingly adv. 越来越多地
desperate adj. 不顾一切的，迫切的
解析：
本句主干为“ The Dutch giant Elsevier made profits of more than £900m last year”，主语是“The Dutch giant Elsevier”，谓语动词为“made”，宾语是“profits of more than £900m last year”。本句中which引导的是非限定性定语从句。后接了while引导的状语从句，both表示并列，与主句并列，且中间包含despite引导的让步状语从句。

荷兰科学出版巨头Elsevier声称出版了全球25%的科学论文，去年利润超过9亿英镑，而仅英国的大学2016年就花费了超过2.1亿英镑以使研究者能访问他们自己的公共资助研究成果;尽管人们越来越迫切地试图改变，但这两个数字似乎还在不断上升。

Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.
重点单词：piece n. 一张，一片，一块
unemployment n. 失业，失业状态，失业人数
rapidly adv. 快速地，迅速地
解析：
本句的难点在于句子成分非常复杂，出现了从句嵌套的现象，因此，学生应该抓住句子主干后，逐步分析每一个从句。句子的主干为“Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces“，主语是“Davidson’s article”，“is”为系动词，“one of a number of pieces”是主句的表语，主句是一个主系表结构。pieces后是由that引导的定语从句，引导词that在句子中充当定语从句的主语，“have recently appeared”是定语从句中的谓语，构成了主谓结构。“making the point”是后置定语用来修饰前面的“a number of pieces”。紧接着下一个that是同位语从句的引导词，同位语从句的主语是“the reason”，系动词是“is”，表语是“because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession”。在这个同位语从句中又嵌套了一个定语从句“we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today”再次用来修饰主句的表语。接下来是连词“but”，与前面论述的内容相反，且转折之后的内容更重要。“but”后是第二个同位语从句，随后又跟了一个which引导的非限定性定语从句。
翻译：
戴维森的这篇文章是最近发表的很多同类文章之一，这类文章都提出一种观点：当今失业率的居高不下及中产阶级的收入不断下降，很大一部分原因在于大萧条引起的需求大幅下降，但同时也在于全球化和信息技术革命的发展，这种发展使得机器或外来雇工代替劳动力的速度超过了以往任何时期。

And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.
本句28词，整个句子包括一个由that引导的宾语从句，that从句跟在谓语动词hint之后，全句结构并不复杂;like此处是介词功能，表示“如，像”跟在qualities后面 , charater and intellect 并列; rather than 并列连词，并列should look to 和 dieting their way to…，表“而不是”。
单词faintly: 模糊地，微弱地;charater and intellect：性格和智力;wasp-waist: wasp黄蜂，waist腰，细腰的;physique：体格，体形;
词组：diet their way to 这个是动词+one’s way to结构，理解比较灵活，表达的意思可以视为“动词+前行去….”，如make one’s way to…朝着。。。前行， squeeze one’s way to。。挤开一条路;所以diet their way to 理解为“通过节食达到”。
整句：或许他们提示人们应该关注于性格和智力等无形的品质，而不是通过一味地节食，达到“零码”、“小蛮腰”身形。
