I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life,” and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.(Text5. 2001)

你需要知道

1. that引导的从句中,and连接两个动名词ing形式,此处的两个doing说的是同一件事,将其看作一个整体,作主语,谓语动词brings用三单形式。it代替上文整个主语。

2. as perhaps Kelsey will... 省略了动词 discover,还原后为 as perhaps Kelsey will (discover)...省略的目的是为了句子简洁,因为该句主干为 I have discovered that...,相同部分就不再表述了。

翻译

我已经意识到,放弃“忙忙碌碌的生活"教条,转而选择“放慢生活节奏"的做法所带来的回报,远远超过财务上的成功和社会地位,或许凯尔茜在因累积的重负而做出引发公众广泛关注之举——辞去《她》杂志编辑一职——之后也会领悟到。

预告明日长难句

For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the ’80s, downshifting in the mid-’90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life—growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one—as a personal recognition of your limitations.(Text5. 2001)
