考研经典长难句训练与解析(176)

1. Just as bosses and boards have finally sortedout their wont accounting and compliance troubles,and improved their feeble corporation governance,a new problem threatens to earn them-especially inAmerica-the sort of nasty headlines that inevitablylead to heads rolling in the executive suite:datainsecurity.

【分析】复合句。主句主干为a new problem threatens toearn them the sort of nasty headlines。其后that引导定语从句修饰 headlines; data insecurity 是 a newproblem 的同位语。句首as引导时间状语从句，该从句包含两个并列的谓语结构 have sorted out... andimproved...。

【译文】正当老板和董事长终于解决了最糟糕的财务和规章问题并加强其薄弱的公司管理之后，一个新的问题—数提不安全—又威胁到他们,使他们出现在令人厌恶的头版头条新闻中(尤其在美国),进而不可避免的导致管理层们走马换任。

【点拨】sort作名词是意为“种类，类型”，本句中，该词作动作，意为“分类，整理;使明确”。
