[转载出处：www.11jj.com]

今天是长难句的第81天

经历了九九八十一难

不知道屠儿们是否取得了自己想要的真经呢？

长难句伴随了大家这么久

已经成为了我的一种习惯

每天看着大家的进步

也成了我的前进动力

接下来的日子里

我会继续和大家一起进步

愿所有的苦难都会有所收获

今天刚好是520

借着这一天的东风

给你们表白

最爱的屠儿们

接下来一年

请让我相伴你们左右

携手共进

If you are a person as I am, who is perfectly delighted for the average people to go happily about their average people’s business, but who also believes in elites—not only believes in them, but thinks they ought to be cherished, that the Today programme and Newsnight, as it were, are more worthy of our licence fee than average people’s television, regardless of audience figures—then the whole subject becomes complicated. 

本句主干为if you are a person as I am…… then the whole subject becomes complicated。if引导的条件状语从句中包含两个并列平行的定语从句，分别为who is perfectly delighted for…以及but who also believes in…。破折号之间的部分为对elites的补充说明，这里又出现了not only…but…表现的并列平行结构，but引导的第二个并列分句中，谓语动词thinks后有they ought to be cherished及that…两个并列的宾语从句，只是they ought to be cherished前面的that被省略。

business 此处是事情--->it is none of your business关你何事。

elite 精英

cherish 珍视

as it were 可以说

be worthy of 值得

regardless of 不管

假如你是像我一样的人，为普通人快乐地追求普通人自己的生活而特别高兴，但也相信精英——不仅相信他们，而且认为他们应该受到珍视，甚至认为不管收视率如何，可以说《今日》节目和《晚间新闻》在某种程度上比普通人看的电视节目更有花钱收看的价值——那么整件事就变得复杂了。

Call me incredulous but I find that very difficult to believe, which means we are back to the wrongheaded kind of political correctness that mulishly refuses to identify excellence in some children and in doing so damages them and robs them of any chance to better themselves or feel any pride in their achievements—all in the name of head teachers’ “ideology”.
