《红宝书》考研英语词汇
每日一句
But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the news media.
词汇突破
profoundly [prəˈfaʊndli]
adv. 深刻地；深深地；极度地
profound [prəˈfaʊnd]
adj.（影响）深刻的，极大的；（感情）强烈的，深切的；（思想）深邃的，（见解）深刻的
convention [kənˈvenʃn]
n. 大会；[法] 惯例；[计] 约定；[法] 协定；习俗
结构分析
该句的主干结构是：主语 the idea + 谓语 rests on + 宾语 an understanding。that 引导的从句作主语 the idea 的同位语；of the established conventions 在 understanding 后作其后置定语；of the news media 是前面两个并列的名词短语 established conventions and special responsibilities 的后置定语。
参考译文
但是，记者必须比普通公民更深刻地理解法律的观点是建立在对新闻媒体的既定惯例和特殊责任的理解之上的。
