第160句 妇女游行（2）

Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for "a job for each of us, a different type of job, and also city without violence". So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining.

译文：

来自意大利各地的妇女们喊着口号，挥舞着旗帜，踏着鼓点跳着舞，汇集到首都游行示威。她们要求“人人有工作，工作类型不同，城市杜绝暴力”。目前为止，提高妇女们就业的行动已经被纳入劳资谈判的范围。

点睛：

这两个句子看似很长，但只要找到句子的主干，句意也就清楚了。第一句中，Shouting slogans,waving flags and dancing to drumbeats是分词短语作伴随状语，主句的主语为the women，谓语部分为had come…。第二句中．主语为action，不定式to improve women's opportunities in employment作action的后置定语，has been是谓语。collective作形容词意为“集体的；共同的；集合的”，作名词意为“集体；合作社”，本句中的collective bargaining意为“劳资谈判”。

考点归纳：

*province在这里指“领域；范围”。

一切有关钱财的事都归我妻子管。
