2018考研英語長難句分析指導（八）

　　Thus it happened that when the new factories that were springing up required labor，tens of thousands of homeless and hungry agricultural workers，with their wives and children，were forced into the cities in search of work，and any work，under any condition，that would keep them alive.

　　結構分析:句子的框架是it happened that…。it做形式主語，that引導的從句做真正的主語。主語從句中，又有一個由when引導的時間狀語從句，主句為tens of thousands of homeless and hungry agricultural workers…were forced…，時間狀語從句中從句主語the new factories又帶有一個定語從句that were springing up; that would keep them alive做work的定語從句。spring up意為“發(fā)生，出現(xiàn)，建立”。

　　譯文: 于是就出現(xiàn)了這樣的情況:正當新辦的工廠紛紛建立，需要勞動力的時候，成千上萬無家可歸、饑腸轆轆、以農業(yè)為生的勞動者攜家?guī)Э�，被迫進入城市;他們要找活干，不管什么活兒，不論什么條件，只要不被餓死就行。
