【語(yǔ)法分析】
本句的主干是the researchers believe that…,that引導(dǎo)一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句。該賓語(yǔ)從句的主干是outside directors have an easier time,介詞短語(yǔ)of…reputations作后置定語(yǔ)修飾time,從句if they…breaks作條件狀語(yǔ)對(duì)have進(jìn)行修飾,逗號(hào)后面是even if引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。該從句的主干是a review of history show…,show后面跟一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句,該賓語(yǔ)從句的主干為they were on the board,介詞短語(yǔ)at the time作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)修飾were on the board,time后面跟一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾。
【譯文】

【考情分析】
對(duì)于這句話,同學(xué)們最重要的就是弄清楚各個(gè)部分的前后
邏輯順序。這句話雖然從句比較多,但是分割的界限比較明顯,注意“any wrongdoing occurred”其實(shí)是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,前面省略了關(guān)系副詞“when”。在定語(yǔ)從句中,實(shí)際上大部分時(shí)候關(guān)系副詞時(shí)不能省略的,但在修飾時(shí)間的時(shí)候,在某些名詞后面,比如“day”,“time”,“year”等詞的后面,是可以省略“when”的。然后將狀語(yǔ)從句放在主句前面理解,就能相對(duì)清晰的理解本句了。
