主干：From cardealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months

原因状语：as shoppers temper their spending.

参考译文：几个月来，由于消费者抑制开销从汽车销售商到盖普时装店，销售额一直在下滑。

翻译之道：首先把句中的 for months 拿到前面先译，接着译 as 从句，最后才出重心。（信达雅）

Consumers say they’re not in despair because,despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good.

主干：Consumers say

宾语从句：they’re not in despair

插入语：despite the dreadful headlines

原因状语：because their own fortunes still feel pretty good.

参考译文：尽管有不少令人忧患的头条新闻，但消费者说，他们自己的财富状况仍然良好，并不绝望。

翻译之道：插入语拿到前面先处理，在汉语中表示“尽管（despite）”时，其后面不能直接跟名词，因此翻译时需要用动宾结构。翻译时原因在前，结果在后，因果关系自然意合。
