(2019年英语一Text 4)States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax when they make online purchase under a Supreme Court decision Thursday that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets but is a big financial win for states.
此句中的谓语动词有will be、make、will leave和is,句中的主干应为“States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax”,“when they make online purchase under a Supreme Court decision Thursday”为时间状语从句,“that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets but is a big financial win for states”为定语从句,同时定于从句中包含“but”连接的两部分。结构分析清楚之后我们便可进行相应的理解与翻译。
