2018年考研英語：長難句練習及解析（24）

Inflation is far less of a threat than a deepening recession, not least because the weakest euro-zone economies are also the ones most dependent on imported energy.
    【核心詞匯】
    inflation n.膨脹，通貨膨脹
    threat n.威脅，恐嚇
    deepen v.使加深，使強烈
    recession n.衰退，不景氣
    【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】
    句子主干是Inflation is far less of a threat than a deepening recession，because引導原因狀語從句，most dependent on imported energy為形容詞短語做定語修飾ones，ones指代economies。
    【參考譯文】通貨膨脹與不斷加深的衰退相比，遠遠談不上是一個威脅，尤其是因為那些最疲軟的歐元區(qū)經(jīng)濟體也是最依賴進口能源的經(jīng)濟體。
