Now let’s add two more facts, or, rather, two events: The upcoming Venice Architecture Biennale, which Aravena is directing, will echo the just-concluded Chicago Architecture Biennial in urging architects to help solve broader social problems rather than simply debate the latest “ism”, whether it be modernism, postmodernism or deconstructivism.

 

 

主语 The upcoming Venice Architecture Biennale

 

谓语 will echo

 

宾语 the just-concluded Chicago Architecture Biennial

 

 

单词

 

debate

 

音标

 

[dɪˈbeɪt]

 

中文词意

 

n. & v.讨论，辩论

 

 

这句话的主句是"let’s add two more facts, or, rather, two events"，一个祈使句，即省略了主语；这一部分的意思和结构好理解；冒号后面的句子中，主语"The upcoming Venice Architecture Biennale"，"which"引导非限定性定语从句修饰主语，"which"在定语从句中做宾语，主语"Aravena"，谓语"is directing"；主干的谓语"will echo"，时态为一般将来时，宾语"the just-concluded Chicago Architecture Biennial"，"in urging..."可理解成目的状语，在目的状语中，"whether...or"引导目的状语从句。

 

 

现在让我们再增加两个事实, 更确切地说是两项活动：即将由阿拉韦纳担任总监的威尼斯建筑双年展将呼应刚刚结束的芝加哥建筑双年展, 鼓励建筑师帮助解决更加广泛的社会问题, 而不是简单地争论最新的“主义”, 不管是现代主义、后现代主义还是解构主义。
