2017考研英语***老师每日一句：第80句

Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook, and Dr. Priscilla Chan, a 

pediatrician who is his wife, said Wednesday that they had hired James H. 

Shelton III, a former deputy secretary of the United States Department of 

Education, to oversee their efforts in education, in the latest example of former 

federal officials who are taking up jobs in Silicon Valley.

昨天句子的解析：

Mention "logistics" and it may bring to mind shiny FedEx or UPS vans with their neatly uniformed drivers. However, the business of shifting cargo by road, especially larger loads, is far more fragmented and inefficient than the image of its best-known brands would suggest. Even the world-famous names in parcel delivery compete with many lesser firms. 

突破词汇：1. Logistics 物流（学这个专业的同学应该很亲切。）

        2. cargo 货物； larger loads 大型商品；

        3. fragmented 总之你要知道这是一个贬义词！（听我昨晚的讲解了吗？）

            The fragmented, nascent M-health market seems likely to consolidate 

            分散而刚刚萌芽的移动健康市场似乎迟早会被整合。

            （还记得这个句子吗?记得复习哦！）

       4. parcel delivery 包裹递送

       5. the business of shifting cargo by road陆路货运业= logistics 就是物流业；

            （老外在写作的非常喜欢用同意替换，避免语言的重复；

              比如：dreams他会告诉你: these intensely powerful mental events.这些强有力的思维事件)

第一句：

Mention "logistics" and it may bring to mind shiny FedEx or UPS vans with their neatly uniformed drivers.

确定主干：Mention "logistics" and it may bring sth to mind.

          （前面是个祈使句and 后的it =前面这个句子）

          Sth= shiny FedEx or UPS vans with their neatly uniformed drivers.

          A may bring B to mind.= A may bring to mind B; 

参考译文：提到“物流”这个词，你可能会想到联邦快递（Fedex）或UPS公司那些光鲜的

第二句：However, the business of shifting cargo by road, especially larger loads, is far more

fragmented and inefficient than the image of its best-known brands would 

suggest.

确定主干：the business of shifting cargo by road is far more fragmented and inefficient

其他成分：than the image of its best-known brands would suggest.比较状语

          （可以先翻译这个部分）

参考译文：然而，和业内这些最知名的品牌留给我们印象相比，陆路货运业的实际情况要分散和低效的多，尤其是大型货运。

第三句：Even the world-famous names in parcel delivery compete with many lesser firms. 

解析： many lesser firms 这里需要注意一下： 

比较需要找一个前后对应，所以lesser 指的是: less famous当然不那么知名也就是指更小；这样的同意替换你需要知道。

参考译文：在包裹快递业务这一块，甚至世界闻名的品牌都在和众多较小的公司竞争。
