    The economy and the labourmarket bear the consequences.
    Bear the consequences通常指的就是:遭受了負(fù)面的影響。

    對(duì)于發(fā)展也不利。
    In the linguistic gloom,there are a few bright spots.
    在不好的情況當(dāng)中也有一些好處。
    Bright spots = upsides =silver linings =benefits = advantages
    在來一個(gè)句子:

    4. long-serving 資深的
    5. MP : member ofparliament 議員
    6.unwarranted =unjustified 不合理的
    結(jié)構(gòu)分析:
