   3. These days the Net, which has already remade such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan's vocation 1 as well.


  【分析】复合句。句子的主干是the Net... is reshaping Donovan’s vocation。these days 为时间状语,which 引导的非限制性定语从句补充说明the Net,其中包含such…as 构。
  【译文】如今互联网已经改变了一些日常消遣,比如像购书和发邮件,现在也同样在重塑多诺万所从事的职业。
  【点拨】l)remake意为“再制,改造”。2)pastime意思是“消遗,娱乐”。3)reshape用作及物动词,意为“重新塑造,改造,再成形”。
  4. The winner,by a large margin 2, was a tiny Virginia company called Open Source Solutions, whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world.
  【分析】复合句。句子的主干是the winner — was a tiny Virginia company。by a large margin 是插入语,在句中充当状语;过去分词短语called Open Source Solutions 和从句whose…of the electronic world都作定语修饰主句的表语company。
  【译文】以绝对优势贏得比赛的是弗吉尼亚的一家小公司,名叫“公开来源情报公司”,其明显的优势便是对电子世界的掌握。
  【点拨】l)by a margin指“以…(幅度)之差”,如win the seat by a margin of ten votes 以十票优势贏得席位,by a large margin意为“大幅度地,以很大优势”。2)clear advantage 意为“明显的优势”。3)mastery 在此处意为“精通,掌握,熟练”,此外还有“支配,统治;优势,优胜" 的含义。
