??instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of american materialism with a southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.(2000)

【规划分析】
语句骨干为we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles,?be treated to 的意思是“被款待,被款待”,spectacles 意为“ 壮丽表象 ”,这儿具有反讽意味。which引导的非捆绑性定语从句润饰spectacles
,冒号后边三个并排名词性短语对spectacles进行举例阐明,别离由 with 引导的介词短语做定语,who 引导的定语从句做定语和 advocate 的如今分词方法做定语,言语方法富于改变,无负担庸俗之感。
【参阅译文】
相反,咱们如同目睹了比以往任何时分都多的虚伪表象:美国实利主义的批判家在南安普顿具有消暑别墅;急进的出书商到三星级宾馆就餐;建议终身同享民主制的新闻记者却把自个的子孙送进私立学校。关于这样的人,及更多或许不这么超卓的人而言,最佳的诠释是“不吝悉数价值获得成功, 但避免体现出宏愿勃勃”。
