1.But she hasn't jump*** f*** anyo*** s***ce, and her unshakable ***dependence has propell*** her career on Wall Street *** heights unimag***able *** a girl ***m***g of age *** Charles***n, S.C., *** the 1970s.
主体句式:she hasn't jump*** f*** anyo*** s***ce, and her ***dependence has propell*** her *** heights …
构架解析:本句是and引诱的双个并列句。正在这个句子中,留意propel的用法:“propel sb. *** do sth”,意义是“促使、推进或人做某事”:“unimag***able *** a girl”做后置定语来润色“heights”:“***m***g of age”做后置定语润色“a girl”,个中“age”的意义是“成年”。
句子译文:但她从那之后再也不为任一人跳过,而她那不成晃动的自力性把她正在华尔街的行业生活推向一个正在210百年710年月对一个来自南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿在步入成年之列的奼女来讲不成思考议论的高度值。

主体句式:How far she c***mbs depends on how well she ***ets her latest challenge …
构架解析:从句“how far she c***mbs”做句子的主语;从句“how well she ***ets”做行词词组“depend on”的宾语:“clos***g the cr***ibi***ty gap”做伴同状语,个中“cr***ibi***ty gap”的意义是“信誉差异”,“put a cloud over”的意义是“正在……上投下一层暗影”。
句子译文: 她能获得多大的功绩取决于她怎样欢迎她的最新考验:正在官府的调研使企业的信用——及其股份——罩上一层暗影以后,减少财务服侍伟人Citigroup团体的信誉差异。

参考译文
作为初中时期的径赛艺人,萨利·克劳切克曾经名列她地点州跳跃活动的榜首。但她从那之后再也不为任一人跳过,而她那不成晃动的自力性把她正在华尔街的行业生活推向一个正在210百年710年月对一个来自南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿在步入成年之列的奼女来讲不成思考议论的高度值。克劳切克——她老是一位优秀的学子——供认说,重要想的便是怎样率领啦啦队和 “幽会最酷的男孩。” 非常早就认知到她的潜能并激起她商贸大志的初中指引参谋南希?怀斯追忆说,“她极有大概成为尽头聪慧之人。” 今日,37岁的克劳切克是商界无力的姑娘之一,是一颗徐徐升起的艺人。
她能获得多大的功绩取决于她怎样欢迎她的最新考验:正在官府的调研使企业的信用——及其股份——罩上一层暗影以后,减少财务服侍伟人Citigroup团体的信誉差异。克劳切克是10月从自力的股份研讨企业——桑福德?C?伯恩斯坦企业(正在这家企业她是首席施行官)被应聘为选定的Citi团体的救星。Citigroup团体傲岸的首席施行官桑福德?韦尔亲身乞求她,把Citi团体的一大块重组正在她四周。克劳切克如今是重组后的史女士巴尼企业(个中包含 Citi团体的股份研讨和零卖掮客营业)的首席施行官。
这个大舞台让克劳切克临危不惧地向外扩大。她显得轻快自若且成竹在胸,带有几分自贬式的诙谐感。她说她感应“难以相信地不掌控,”经常做噩梦,梦见她得不到新共事的尊崇。可是这类提及话来让人感应柔和可亲的谦虚拆穿了她一起始就有的坚强与决断。作为状师的女儿和别的3个姊妹的姊姊, 克劳切克非常早就学会了怎样证明本人的提议——或坚持沉着。
“以前围坐餐桌就餐是十分乏味的,”她父亲伦尼——他正在查尔斯顿当状师——如许说。“政纲、联系——你仅管讲进去。每一个人都讲本人的看法,要想讲清一个论点实在非常艰难。”萨莉开顽笑说,“咱们谁也不克不及约请友人来用餐”。
克劳切克前后取得北卡罗莱那州立高等学府的资讯学学士学位学历和哥伦比亚高等学府的工商治理硕士学历。她到萨洛蒙兄弟企业职务,但非常快就转到唐纳森、推夫金-詹雷特企业职务,正在那边她碰见了她的丈夫加里?阿普尔。1994年,克劳切克直达入伯恩斯坦企业,今后便一头扎进股份研讨职务。1997年,她起始踏入财经服侍企业,非常快便成为该学术方向的最有感化力的解析家。正在这几年中,克劳切克对韦尔收买萨洛蒙企业一案举行了具体批评,这激发了韦尔的忿怒,同时也获得了他的敬重,由于厥后的进展证实她是准确的。
