361.Watching the U.S. economy soar during the '90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high technology route.
看到20世紀90年代美國經濟的騰飛,德國人決定,他們也得走高科技之路。
六級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是...the Germans had decided that...。其中they, too, needed...route是由that引導的賓語從句,作decide的賓語;現在分詞短語watching...during the'90s在句中作原因狀語。soar的本義是“急速飛入高空”,這里引申為“上漲,高漲”。route的意思是“路途,路線”;high technology route意為“高科技之路”。
