每日長(zhǎng)難句 156

原句：

With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess / what he was referring to.

【2017 英語一 Text3】

生詞：

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) 國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值

timely adj. 及時(shí)的，適時(shí)的

assess v. 評(píng)估，估計(jì)

refer to… 提到，談到

分析：

??找謂語：

…, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.

??主句：

it is now a timely moment to assess

??從句：（賓語從句）

what he was referring to

??形式主語：

it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to

it為形式主語，句子的真正主語是to assess what he was referring to

??獨(dú)立主格：

With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result

（n.+非謂語動(dòng)詞）是獨(dú)立的一件事，但是不是完整的句子

譯文：

隨著英國(guó)公投決定脫離歐盟，且GDP已經(jīng)被預(yù)測(cè)將因此下滑，此時(shí)正是考量他的話里所指的最合適的時(shí)機(jī)。
