解析
- 找谓语动词:believe/have/leave/breaks/shows/were/occurred
- 断开:通过标点逗号、连接词或词组that/if/before/even if/at the time、以及分析主谓来断开句子
- 断开长难句:通过逗号和连接词(或词组)but、that、if、before、even if、at the time以及分析主谓,来断开长难句,如下:
- But the researchers believe 主句(But在句首,表示与上一句是转折关系)
- that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations 宾语从句
- if they leave a firm 条件状语从句
- before bad news breaks, 时间状语从句
- even if a review of history shows 让步状语从句
- they were on the board 省略了连接词的宾语从句
- at the time any wrongdoing occurred. 时间状语从句
- 翻译:但研究者认为,如果外部董事在坏消息爆发前就已离开公司,那么他们会更容易避免声誉受损——即便历史记录显示“错误行为形成时,董事们尚在其职”(依然如此)。
