2022考研英语长难句练习及详细分析2

The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world, made profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.

重点单词及短语：unstoppably adv. 不可抵挡地

increasingly adv. 越来越多地

desperate adj. 不顾一切的，迫切的

解析：

本句主干为“ The Dutch giant Elsevier made profits of more than £900m last year”，主语是“The Dutch giant Elsevier”，谓语动词为“made”，宾语是“profits of more than £900m last year”。本句中which引导的是非限定性定语从句。后接了while引导的状语从句，both表示并列，与主句并列，且中间包含despite引导的让步状语从句。

翻译：

荷兰科学出版巨头Elsevier声称出版了全球25%的科学论文，去年利润超过9亿英镑，而仅英国的大学2016年就花费了超过2.1亿英镑以使研究者能访问他们自己的公共资助研究成果;尽管人们越来越迫切地试图改变，但这两个数字似乎还在不断上升。
