求解答一段GRE阅读
social structure was in fact so fluid-though recent statistics suggest a narrowing of economic opportunity as the latter half of the century progressed-that to talk about social classes at all requires the use of loose econmic categories such as rich,poor,and middle class,or eighteeth-century designations like "the better sort" 麻烦具体讲解一下第二个破折号以后,从that to talk about一直到such as之前这部分的意思,完全不懂啊…谢谢

问题解答:

我来补答
本句话里,两个破折号之间的句子为插入语,即:though recent statistics suggest a narrowing of economic opportunity as the latter half of the century progressed为插入语
所以本句先撇掉插入语,先看句子即为:social structure was in fact so fluid that to talk about social classes at all requires the use of loose econmic categories such as rich,poor,and middle class,or eighteeth-century designations like "the better sort"
翻译为:社会结构实际上是如此的复杂,以至于我们在谈到社会阶级的时候最终需要运用模糊的经济分类,比如贵族,穷人和中产阶级,或者像十八世纪“更好的类型”的指定.
插入语翻译为:尽管近期的数据显示在后半世纪经济机会已经改进得狭窄.
整个翻译为:
社会结构实际上是如此的复杂(尽管近期的数据显示在后半世纪经济机会已经变得狭窄),以至于我们在谈到社会阶级的时候最终需要运用模糊的经济分类,比如贵族,穷人和中产阶级,或者像十八世纪“更好的类型”的指定.
