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世纪90年代美国经济的腾飞,德国人决定,他们也得走高科技之路。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是...the Germans had decided that...。其中they, too, needed...route是由that引导的宾语从句,作decide的宾语;现在分词短语watching...during the'90s在句中作原因状语。soar的本义是“急速飞入高空”,这里引申为“上涨,高涨”。route的意思是“路途,路线”;high technology route意为“高科技之路”。
