2018考研英语长难句分析指导（四十九）

.His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied reengineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long term profitability.

结构分析：句子主干是His colleague,…, says，that… 引导的是宾语从句, chopping out costs without giving sufficient…是现在分词短语结构做状语。without后面要跟动名词giving。

译文：他的同事迈克尔•比尔说，为数众多的公司以简单机械的方式进行结构重组，降低了成本，但却未能充分考虑长期赢利。
