长难句练习：

1.These letters are filled with his wrestling with the consequences of being the part-private, part-public creature that he became, desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy.

2.Then came the hot iron: news of a series of measures to shore up the bank’s capital base, among them investments from sovereign-wealth funds in Singapore and the Middle East.

3.The change of approach may be on the advice of auditors and regulators but it is more likely to reflect a desire by UBS’s bosses to avoid months of speculation about the bank’s exposure, something that Marcel Rohner, the chief executive, described as “distracting”.

长难句解析：

1.主体句式：These letters are filled with his wrestling.

结构分析：这是一个简单句，难点在于最后两个形容词词组的成分（desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy）。这两个形容词词组用来修饰前面的名词creature, 而creature后面紧跟着的that 引导的从句也是修饰它的定语从句。

句子译文：这些信中处处都显现出休斯因为自己成为半私人、半公开这样一个人物反复挣扎的心理，他渴望将自己奉献给文字，但又时时受到私人空间受到侵袭的威胁。

2.主体句式：Then came the hot iron.

结构分析：这是一个有复杂同位语的一个简单句。news of …是前面the hot iron的同位语，to shore up the bank’s capital base是不定式短语作定语修饰前面的measures, 而后面among them …也是用来修饰measures，具体介绍其中的一些措施。

句子译文：紧接着就来了hot iron ：报道有一系列的措施来支持银行的资本基础，其中就有新加坡和中东的君主财富基金。

3.主体句式： The change of approach may be… but …

结构分析：这是一个并列句，but 引导的分句比较复杂，to avoide …不定式短语作前面a desire的定语，而something that…是a desire的同位语，该同位语中又包含了一个定语从句。

句子译文：方法改变可能是审计员或调节员建议的，但更反映了UBS高层的不愿数月都预计银行曝光的意愿，这个被首席执行官Marcel Rohner形容为“转移注意力（的方案）”。
