in the early industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization — with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed — was spread over nearly a century, whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so.Part B　　Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community. (31) Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts. (32) Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of a country's economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage. For example, they may encourage research in various ways, including the setting up of their own research centers; they may alter the structure of education, or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or tap resources hitherto unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing number of international projects related to science, economics and industry. In any case, all such interventions are heavily dependent on scientific advice and also scientific and technological manpower of all kinds.　　(33) Owing to the remarkable development in mass communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above.

题目解答

答案

在早期实现工业化的欧洲国家中，其工业化进程及随之而来的各种深刻的社会结构变革，持续了大约一个世纪之久，而如今一个发展中国家在十年左右就能完成这个过程。

解析

本题考查对复合句的准确理解与翻译能力，核心在于把握句子的主干结构和处理时间对比关系。句子通过对比早期欧洲工业化国家与现代发展中国家的工业化进程时间差，突出社会变革的加速。翻译时需注意时间表达的转换（如“spread over nearly a century”对应“持续一个世纪”）和逻辑关系的衔接（如“whereas”表示对比）。

  1. 识别主干与修饰成分

    • 主干：the process of industrialization was spread over nearly a century（主句）
    • 修饰成分：
      • in the early industrialized countries of Europe（地点状语）
      • with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed（伴随状语，补充说明工业化的影响）
      • whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so（对比分句）

  2. 处理时间对比关系

    • “spread over nearly a century” → “持续了大约一个世纪之久”（强调时间跨度长）
    • “whereas nowadays...in a decade or so” → “而如今...在十年左右就能完成”（对比时间缩短）

  3. 专业术语与逻辑衔接

    • “far-reaching changes in social patterns” → “深刻的社会结构变革”（保留原意，调整语序）
    • “whereas” → “而”（简洁表达对比关系）
