第044句

But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the news media.

译文：但是，认为新闻工作者必须比普通公民更加深刻地理解法律的观点，是基于对新闻媒体的既定惯例和特殊职责的理解。

点睛：that引导的是idea的同位语从句，其中包含比较结构more...than...。主句的谓语动词是rests。of the established...news media作宾语an understanding的后置定语。短语rest on此处意为“建立在…的基础上；基于”。需要注意的是，rest on sth.作此意讲时不用于被动语态。

考点归纳：与动词rest相关的常见短语还有：

*let the matter rest不再讨论某事
You could go on arguing, but I think you'd better let the matter rest.
你们可以争论下去，但我认为你们最好别再讨伦这个问题了。

*not rest until...直到...才罢休
They will not rest until the murderer is found.
找不到杀人凶手他们决不罢休。

*rest with由…负责
The final decision rests with the manager.
最后的决定由经理做出。
