【难句49】It's not every day that you get to witness the birth of a new social system. But General Motors'June 1 bankruptcy, and the company's likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury, does suggest the arrival of a novel relationship-at least for the United States-between the citizen and his government.(Weekly Standard Jun. 15, 2009 )
【结构分析】本句使用了强调句型的否定式It is not…that…，在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。every day是所强调的内容，并使用了not直接否定。But后的句子又使用了借助助动词do强调句子谓语的强调词结构，句中表现为用does强调suggest即does suggest…整句话还包含一个较长的分隔结构and the company's likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury，对主语General Motors'June 1 bankruptcy起补充说明的作用。
【难句50】Best known as a destination for honeymooners in search of perfect white beaches and swaying palms, the Seychelles islands rarely make any sort of headlines.

(The Economist Aug. 10, 2006)
【结构分析】本段出现了两处否定。前一句中，使用了否定副词rarely体现否定，译为"几乎不"，Best known as…作该句状语。后一分句中，使用否定代词few体现否定，译为"很少"，其中包含了which引导的定语从句in which James Michel，leader of do the Seychelles
People's Progressive Front, was returned with 54% of the ballot, which指代先行词election, 并与in一起在从句中作状语，且该从句的谓语使用了被动语态;leader of the Seychelles People's Progressive Front为分隔结构，补充说明James Michel此人的身份。
