主干：In those far-off days狼忱，it（形主） was taken for granted
主語從句：that the critics of major papers would write the events

參考譯文：在那些遙遠(yuǎn)的日子操骡，人們理所當(dāng)然認(rèn)為：主要報紙的評論家會詳細(xì)而充分地報道他們所涉及的事件。
翻譯之道：根據(jù)邏輯常識可以判斷出 take for granted 的主語為“人們”熔酷」陆簦可見，譯者把被動語態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換成了主動語態(tài)拒秘，并加上主語“人們”号显，值得學(xué)習(xí)臭猜。
