主语 谓语 宾语大学士考试网(www．daxueshi123。com)

【具体分析】第一个句子的主语是these computers(这些计算机) ，谓语是record(记录) ，后面有两个以and连接的宾语从句which hours are busiest(哪些时间段是最忙的)和which employees are the most efficient(哪些雇员是最有效率的) ，作record的宾语;逗号之后的现在分词结构allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly(从而使得全体员工工作任务的分配被做出来)作全句的状语。第二句话是个典型的主谓宾结构的简单句。

【技巧点拨】①被动句变主动句，allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly(从而使得全体员工工作任务的分配被相应地做出来)变成(从而可以相应地作出全体员工工作任务的分派)②employer表示“雇主”，employee表示“雇员”，同理tester表示“考官，测试人员”，testee表示“考生，被测试人员”。考试用书

【参考译文】同时这些计算机记录哪些时间段是销售高峰和哪些员工最有效率，从而可以相应地作出全体员工工作任务的分派。此外，他们还可以确定偏爱的顾客群进行促销活动。
