另外,working in Britain是现在分词作定语,修饰domestic servants。
2. Of these 20000, just under 2000 are being exploited and abused by their employers, according to a London-based campaigning group which helps overseas servants working in Britain. (p1)
译:根据某个设在伦敦的帮助在英国工作的国外佣人的活动组织声称,在这20000名佣人中又近2000人被他们的雇主剥削和虐待。
句子分析:Of these 20000是状语,under 2000是数词作整个句子主语,are being exploited and abused是现在进行时态的被动语态做谓语,剩余的是状语。另外,under是低于…不到…的意思;---based设在…的,以…为基础的;
3. And they can have their passports removed, making leaving or escaping virtually impossible. (p2) 译:他们的护照可能已被拿走,其实际上既不能离开液或不能逃走。
句子分析:have their passports removed是VOC结构,使have sth done句型的具体使用,表示宾语和动词之间是被动的关系,如:Last week I have my computer repaired.
making leaving or escaping virtually impossible是现在分词作结果状语,其中leaving or escaping是动名词,做making的宾语。virtually是几乎的意思,相当于almost.

译:其中一个事例就是关于一个菲律宾女佣在被判谋杀罪后,在新加坡被处决,尽管各个地区的人都抗议她的罪行尚未得到充分证实。

中华网校http://www.wangxiao84.com 自考网校http://www.wangxiao84.com/huaxiazikao.html 广东自考http://www.zk1684.com convicted被判罪,被动,词组:sb is convicted of sth 某人被判有…罪。如: She has twice been convicted of fraud. (她已经两次被判犯有诈骗罪。)
despite尽管,是介词,因此其后只能跟名词,而不能接句子。Protests是抗议的意思,
that her guilt had not been adequately established是Protests的同位语从句,具体解释Protests的内容。from various quarters= from various places.
5. I was supposed to be paid £120 but I never received that amount. (p4) 译:我本应该得到120英镑的报酬,但我从未得到那个数目。
句子分析:词组be supposed to do sth应该做某事,如:You are supposed to get there as early as possible. be paid …被支付…钱。

译:1994年年底,英国政府引进新的措施来保护家佣们,使其免受雇主的虐待。
句子分析:At the end of 1994时间状语,the British Government主语,introduced谓语,
new measures宾语,to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers是不定式做目的状语。词组:protect sb from sth保护…使之远离…
Each parent should protect their child from TV violence. 7. So if they do complain, they risk being deported. (p8) 译:所以,如果他们真的抱怨的话,就会冒着被驱逐出境的风险。
句子分析:do complain:是谓语动词的强调形式,意思:的确抱怨道的话…前面我们曾经见过it is/was… that/who…的强调句型,它不能用来强调谓语,只能强调主语、宾语和状语,而要想强调谓语,只能借助于助动词do, does, did.

译:给予那些愿意做同类工作但是想更换雇主的家佣们这种自由,这正是国际反奴役组织这样的团体向政府争取的。
句子分析:Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer是动名词短语作主语,其中to seek the same type of work but with a different employer是不定式作定语修饰the freedom,谓语是is, 后面的what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the Government for是表语从句。if they so choose是条件状语从句,做插入语。
9. It is, they say, the right to change employers which distinguishes employment from slavery. (p9) 译:他们说,就是更换雇主的权利才能把雇佣同奴役区别开来。
句子分析:该句的主要形式是it is…引导的强调句。强调句子的主语the right to change employers. they say 是插入语。词组:distinguish A from B将A 同B区分开。
