日讀一句4

Although the women's movement and political controversies about such issues and the Equal Rights Amendment and sexual harassment suggest that changing sex roles is a recent issue, this is far from the case.

句意翻譯

雖然女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)及其類似政治爭議、平等權(quán)利修正案和性騷擾表明轉(zhuǎn)變性別角色是新近出現(xiàn)的問題，但（實(shí)際上）遠(yuǎn)非如此。

結(jié)構(gòu)分析

1. 簡化結(jié)構(gòu)，確定主句 this is far from the case.

2.  壓縮從句，各個(gè)擊破：

1)     識別從句：although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句

2)     去除無足輕重的介副詞(組)類修飾語：

about such issues and the Equal Rights Amendment and sexual harassment，介詞about接三個(gè)并列賓語作controversies的后置定語

3)     鎖定從句主干：主語the women's movement and political controversies  謂語suggest

隱化賓語從句：that就可代指changing sex roles is a recent issue整句；主語是動(dòng)名詞短語changing sex roles，謂語是系表結(jié)構(gòu)形式。

4)     整句框架：

Although the women's movement and political controversies …suggest that …, this is far from the case.
