  3. 原文:He has failed to understand that monarchies have largely survived because they provide a service – as non-controversial and non-political heads of state.

二、长难句语法分析

1. 原文

But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down.
语法分析

  • 主干结构:主语(embarrassing scandals + the popularity…)+ 谓语(have forced)+ 宾语(him)+ 宾补(to eat…and stand down)。
  • 并列成分:两个主语由 “and” 连接,谓语用复数形式 “have forced”。
  • 固定搭配:”force sb. to do sth.”(迫使某人做某事);”eat one’s words”(食言)。

2. 原文

At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is bizarre that wealthy aristocratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic states.
语法分析

  • 时间状语从句:”when Thomas Piketty…inherited wealth” 修饰 “At a time”,说明背景。
  • 形式主语结构:”it is bizarre that…” 中,”it” 为形式主语,真正主语是 that 引导的从句。
  • 虚拟语气:”should be” 此处表示惊讶,带有轻微的批判意味。

五、文章主旨

本文通过西班牙国王胡安・卡洛斯退位的案例,探讨欧洲君主制的现状与挑战:一方面,君主制在政治极化时期可作为国家统一的象征,因其 “超越政治” 的特性得以存续;另一方面,其历史遗留的特权和不平等与现代民主价值观冲突。文章特别指出,英国王室需警惕西班牙事件的警示,尤其是查尔斯的价值观可能威胁君主制的存续。全文旨在分析君主制的利弊,警示其需通过现代化转型维持合法性。
