英语翻译
正文:GIFT certificates,or rather their high-tech new replacements,giftcards
(certificates in the form of credit cards),are America’s most popular present.
They spare gift-givers the strain of choosing anything specific,and recipients
the horror of having to keep the result.Retailers like them too,because they
are quite profitable.But like most goods in the recession,they have become
harder to shift,prompting some radical redesigns.
这个部分是与gift-givers the strain of choosing anything specific并列的结构,也是spare的宾语和宾语补足语,gift-givers和receipients是宾语,后面的the strain of choosing anything specific和the horror of having to keep the result是宾语补足语.这是spare sb.sth.的结构.spare在这里是及物动词,解释为“免去……压力”.
翻译为:“他们使礼物赠与者免去了要选择特定礼物的压力,也免去了收到礼物的人不得不保留(不喜欢的)礼物时的嫌恶.”
