字號(hào):

63. Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo‘s Aquafina and Coca-Cola‘s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water. (06.12 Passage 1)
    分析主干:companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground...
    破折號(hào)后的this 指代前面的內(nèi)容:view... share(把瓶裝水看做下一個(gè)市場份額的競爭場所),despite 是介詞,后接賓語the fact,表示讓步:“盡管事實(shí)上......”。that 引導(dǎo)的從句作the fact 的同位語。冒號(hào)后的內(nèi)容是對同位語從句內(nèi)容的進(jìn)一步解釋說明。
    譯文:盡管如此,軟飲料公司把瓶裝水看做是爭奪市場占有率的下一個(gè)戰(zhàn)場—雖然事實(shí)是超過25%的瓶裝水都來自自來水:百事可樂的Aquafina 和可口可樂的Dasani都是經(jīng)過凈化的自來水,而不是礦泉水。
