1、每日一句長難句(13)
His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re-engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long-term profitability.
2、【分析】
逗號之間是插入語,主語是his colleague,謂語say後面是賓語從句,far too many companies是主語, have applied是謂語, re-engineering是賓語, in a mechanistic fashion是狀語,後面chopping引導分詞結構做狀語。
3、【詞彙】

chop out 削減 = cut down
sufficient a.充分的
give thought to 考慮
long-term 長期的
