   17.More recently, while examining housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate 1, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor 2 productivity standards despite the complexity 3 of the building industry’s work.


  【分析】复合句。句子的主干为the researchers discovered that...,其中that引导的从句作宾语。宾语从句中despite引出的介词短语作让步状语。句首“while +分词短语”结构是省略主语和系动词的状语从句while the researchers were examining···
  【译文】最近,研究者在调查房屋建筑业时发现,尽管建筑行业的工作非常复杂,但是德克萨斯州休斯顿市的那些不识字、不会说英语的墨西哥工人却总是能达到劳动生产率的最高标准。
  【点拨】1)illiterate意为“文盲的”,是literate“有读写能力的,识字的”的反义词。2)despite用作介词,意思是“不管,尽管”其后跟名词(短语)。
  【临摹】尽管她事业有成,但和丈夫相比总觉逊色。
  状语从句中的省略
  在以when, while, as, once, whenever引导的时间状语从句、if,unless引导的条件状语从句、as,as if, as though引导的方式状语从句、though, although, even if, even though 引导状语从句、wherever引导的地点状语从句中,常常省略与主句相同的主语(或作主语的代词it)和be动词,剩下名词、形容词(短语)、介词短语、不定式或分词。
  18.Thus pool countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education.

  【译文】因此,贫穷国家不改变政治情况也许就不可能摆脱贫困状态,这种政治变革只有在更广泛的正规教育下才能发生。
  【点拨】poverty trap是固定词组,意为“贫困陷阱”,指领取政府救济的人若要增加收入就不得不放弃某些救济款项的境况。
