Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated $28.6 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures. (2018年 英语一 Text4)
【难点分析】本句为复合句,包含两个定语从句,第一个定语从句是that would ... years修饰主句主语legislation,第二个定语从句是which could ... measures修饰an estimated $28.6 billion。两个定语从句都没有直接跟在先行词后面,而是隔了其他成分,需注意辨别。
【参考译文】众议院正在通过一项立法,该法案预计将在5年内为美国邮政局节省约286亿美元,这笔资金可以在其他的生存举措中用来帮助购买新的运输工具。
