　　 原句
　　From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. （2007年阅读Text-3）
　　 词汇和表达
　　1、本句虽然看起来很长，但它仍是一个简单句，也没有出现各种从句。句子的主语是much of this，谓语是系动词looks。句首from the middle-class family perspective是介词短语作状语。
　　2、动词look后的表语是两个并列的like介词短语，一个like前面有far less修饰，第二个like前面有a good deal more修饰。to exercise more financial responsibility是动词不定式作后置定语修饰an opportunity。
　　3、第二个like后的成分比较长，核心是a frightening acceleration，介词of 后面使用了the shift of A onto B的结构，意为“A向B的转变”。
　　 参考译文

　　从中产家庭的角度看，可以理解的是，大多数情况看起来根本不像是一个承担更多经济责任的机会，而更像一种大规模转变的可怕加速，即经济风险转向他们本已不堪重负的肩上。
