【真题例句】Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in threestar restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools。(2000阅读5)
【结构分析】本句的主干是we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles。其后的which引导非限定性定语从句which now more than ever seem in ample supply，修饰先行词spectacles，关系代词which指代先行词在从句中作主语。冒号后是spectacles的同位语，对其进行解释说明，由三个并列平行结构构成。其中第二个平行结构中包括一个who引导的定语从句who takes his meals in threestar restaurants，关系代词who在从句中作主语，指代先行词publisher；最后一个平行结构中whose引导非限制性定语从句whose own children are enrolled in private schools，whose作own children的定语，指代先行词journalist。注意本题中spectacles具有贬义，泛指虚伪的事物。
【参考译文】相反，人们以美好的虚伪景象款待我们(这些虚伪景象似乎比以往任何时候都多)：批判美国式物质主义的人却在南安普顿拥有消夏别墅；出版激进书籍的人却在三星饭店用餐；倡导在人生各个阶段实行参与民主制的记者，却让自己的子女在私立学校上学。

【结构分析】逗号后为本句主句researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries，句首部分介宾短语Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s所作的让步状语，其中关系副词 when引导定语从句when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010修饰1960s and 1970s， when在从句中作状语，理解为在60年代和70年代。在此定语从句中，it作形式主语，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010。注意it appeared翻译为“看起来”。
【参考译文】尽管在20世纪60年代和70年代情况很乐观，因为在那时看起来晶体管电路和微处理器或许可以在2010年前就能够复制人脑的活动，但是，研究人员最近已开始把这一预言推迟了不是几个世纪就是几十年。
