分析主干:the popularity... taps into...
短语介词Regardless of 后面接了一个how 引导的宾语从句,作让步状语:不管......。谓语动词tap into 表示开发,发掘,后面通常接能源之类的宾语,句中接了三个表示愿望的名词作宾语,our desire , our wish,以及a longing 。
译文:无论怎么卖,瓶装水的普及反映了我们追求健康的愿望,希望给人留下有修养的印象,甚至对于失去的纯净的一种渴求。
四、 Wellness may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for.
分析主干: Wellness may be viewed not as a state but as an ideal
not... but...用来连接两个并列的成分,并对其中之一予以否定。对另一个予以肯定。句中两个that 引导的定语从句,分别修饰a state 和an ideal。
译文:健康也许最好不是被看做一种人们能够达到的状态,而是被看做一个人们为之努力的理想。
五、In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come, work and live here?
