　　今天的句子：

　　The truth, unfortunately, is that few of us really absorb the information we receive. We filter out what we don’t expect or want to hear, and this tendency doesn’t necessarily improve with age. As a result, leaders simply miss a great deal of the information that’s available—a weakness to which top performers are especially vulnerable because overconfidence so often comes with success.

　　思考题：

　　The reason that top performers are likely to miss available information is ____ ?

　　A. the lack of ability

　　B. being overconfident

　　C.the weak will

　　D. the misleading news

　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　The truth, unfortunately, is that(黄色是主语和系动词) few of us really absorb the information(表语从句)we receive.(省略了that 的定语从句)

　　1.The truth is that (固定搭配) 翻译为:事实上…

　　参考译文：不幸的是，事实上我们很少人能消化接收到的信息。

　　第二句:

　　We filter out what we don’t expect or want to hear(宾语从句), and 并列句this tendency doesn’t necessarily improve with age. (绿色是状语)

　　filter out 过滤掉

　　参考译文：我们会过滤掉不希望或不想听到的内容，并且这种倾向不一定会随着年龄的增长而改善。

　　第三句：

　　As a result, leaders simply miss a great deal of the information that’s available—a weakness(同位语指代前面这个句子：“错过信息”这件事) to which top performers are especially vulnerable(定语从句) because overconfidence so often comes with success(定语从句中的状语从句).

　　simply 这个副词含义很多，根据语境来翻译，这里翻译为“轻易”

　　available 可获得的

　　top performers 优秀的人，高管，领导;

　　to which top performers are especially vulnerable

　　which = weakness

　　to是：be vulnerable to 中的to

　　还原为一个句子：

　　top performers are especially vulnerable to this weakness.

　　A comes with B

　　= With B comes A 伴随B ,常有A

　　overconfidence so often comes with success.

　　(success 是原因，overconfidence 是结果)所以答案是B

　　参考译文：结果是，领导者轻易地错过了许多获得的信息。高管尤其易受这个弱点影响，因为成功通常会导致过分自信。(翻译的时候我只翻译了定语从句，没有再翻译同位语weakness，因为在定语从句中已经翻译了一次了，就可以不用再翻译了。)

　　比如：

　　The black women have been discriminated, a fact by which their academic performance is adversely affected.

　　(which指代fact ,fact 指代前面的句子)

　　黑人妇女受到歧视，她们的学业受到了这个事实了的不利影响。

　　=The black women have been discriminated, by which their academic performance is adversely affected.

　　(which指代前面的句子)

　　=黑人妇女受到歧视，因此她们的学业受到了不利影响。

　　(所以语言的表达形式是多样的，但意思是一样的。 )

　　思考题：

　　The reason that top performers are likely to miss available information is ____ ?

　　表现最好的人可能会错过可用信息的原因是什么?

　　A. the lack of ability

　　缺乏能力

　　看句子解析!这就是正确答案!

　　误导性消息
