單詞

 

allegiance

 

音標(biāo)

 

[??li?d??ns]

 

中文詞意

 

n.（對組織、人物、信仰的）忠誠，擁護(hù)

 

 

這句話是個(gè)復(fù)合句，可將"when"看成是引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，翻譯成“如果”，相當(dāng)于"if"；從句的主語"managers"，謂語"are not striving"是正在進(jìn)行時(shí)，賓語"to satisfy investors"，"whose"引導(dǎo)定語從句，定語從句主語"whose allegiance"，"to firms"是主語的定語，謂語"is measured"是被動語態(tài)，"in weeks"是狀語；主句的主語"they"，謂語"are pumping up"是正在進(jìn)行時(shí)，賓語"share prices"，"in order to maximise their own pay"做目的狀語。

 

 

經(jīng)理們不是在竭力滿足投資者---其對公司保持忠誠的時(shí)間只能用周來衡量---的要求, 就是在抬升股價(jià)以使自身收人最大化。
