這句話的主語"The case"，可以把"for a mild downturn"看成主語的定語，但"the case for..."更像是一個約定俗成的說法，即“對于某事的依據是”，謂語"assumes"，賓語是三個并列的賓語從句： 1. "that Europe’s policymakers, however haltingly, are on course to solve their debt crisis"，其從句的主語"Europe’s policymakers"，系詞"are"，表語"on course to solve their debt crisis"，其中"on course to"也可看作是一個相對固定的說法，---“在去往...的路上”，也就是“處于正確的道路上”。 2. "that the European Central Bank(ECB) has reduced the risk of a debt calamity with its recent provision of three-year liquidity to banks"，其主語"the European Central Bank"即"ECB"，謂語"has reduced"是現在完成時態(tài)，賓語"the risk of a debt calamity"，"of"結構修飾前面的"the risk"，"with"是方式狀語表示“如何減少的風險的”。 3. "and that the impact of fiscal austerity on growth will be brief and modest"，句子為主系表結構，其主語"the impact of fiscal austerity"，而實際上更應該是將"impact on"合起來一起看，這也是同學們平時背的短語，"of"結構只是一下修飾"the impact"，系詞"will be"，是一般將來時，表語"brief and modest"。

 

 

認為會出現輕度衰退的這種判斷所依據的假設條件是：歐洲的決策者們---無論他們是多么猶豫不決---正在解決其債務危機；歐洲各央行已經通過最近向各銀行提供3年期流動性的舉措降低了發(fā)生債務災難的風險；以及財政緊縮對于經濟增長的沖擊將是短暫而溫和的。
