For example, while US and EU sanctions on Myanmar may have contributed to the country’s decision to open up its economy and engage in gradual political reform, fear of becoming overly reliant on China may have been a bigger consideration.

 

 

主语 fear

 

谓语 may have been

 

宾语 a bigger consideration

 

 

单词

 

reform

 

音标

 

[rɪˈfɔːm]

 

中文词意

 

n. 改革；改正vt. 改革，革新

 

 

这句话是一个复合句，"while"引导让步状语从句，从句的主语"US and EU sanctions"，"on Myanmar"是主语的定语，谓语"have contributed to"，宾语"the country’s decision"，"to open up its economy and engage in gradual political reform"可看成是宾语的定语，其中不定时中包含两个并列的动作"open up"和"engage in"；主句是个主系表句型，主句的主语"fear"，"of becoming overly reliant on China"是主语的定语，谓语"may have been"，表语"a bigger consideration"。

 

 

举例来说, 美国和欧盟对缅甸实施制裁也许促使该国决定开放经济并采取渐进式政治改革, 但担心过于依赖中国也许才是更为重要的考量。
