切分是读句子的唯一救赎！

难度呢，交替着来，同样霸气的句子，不用解释。上句子吧！

The increase in numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth century had less to do with the mechanization of house work and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.

词汇突破： have to do with… 与…有关（2000日本人那篇文章最后一段就用 了这个表达！）

Economic necessity 经济需求

pool of single women workers 单身女工的资源

high marriage rates 高结婚率

主干识别： 在主干中出现了一个比较结构：

A had less to do with B and C than A did with D and E

A = The increase

B= mechanization

C= an increase

D= their own economic necessity

E= high marriage rates

并列中加不加with都是可以的；

(与其说A与BC 有关，还不如说与DE有关。)

其他成分: high marriage rates后出现定语从句

that shrank the available pool of single women workers, previously, in many cases, the only women employers would hire.

微观分析： the only women（whom） employers would hire.

The ONLY women = single women workers

同位语中加上一个定语从句其中whom被省略了。, previously, in many cases状语

参考译文： 20世纪，在家庭外被雇佣的女性人数增加了，这与其说是由于家务活的机器化和闲暇时间的增加，还不如说是由于女性自身的经济需求和由于高结婚率。正是高结婚率减少了单身女工劳动力资源的数量，而在这之前很多情况下，她们是雇主们会雇佣的唯一女性。

翻译点拨： 动态名词，单独成句，都用上了。
