【昨日回顾】

One of the strangest features of the current debates about privacy on the internet is the way in which private advertising companies are able to get away with practices that no democratic government could.
私营广告公司能以某种方式做一些民主政府不能做的事情,不受到惩罚;这种方式就是当前关于互联网隐私讨论令人费解的一点。

【今日长难句】

The security services and police are restricted in their surveillance of private citizens on the web by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. Around 130,000 people signed a petition against it, largely because of the provision requiring internet providers to keep for up to a year records of all the websites that their users visited. One campaigner described it as “one of the most extreme surveillance laws ever passed in a democracy”.

【结构解析及译文】

The security services and police are restricted in their surveillance of private citizens on the web by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. Around 130,000 people signed a petition against it, largely because of the provision requiring internet providers to keep for up to a year records of all the websites that their users visited. One campaigner described it as “one of the most extreme surveillance laws ever passed in a democracy”.
如今,《2016调查权法案》限制了安全部门和警察受在网络上监视普通公民。之前,大约有130000人签署了一份请愿书反对该法案,很大程度上是因为这项规定要求互联网供应商保留他们用户访问所有网站长达一年的记录。一位活动领导者称之为“民主史上最极端的监视法之一”。
1. 首句时态为一多半现在时,表如今的客观事实,二句和三句均为一般过去时,讲述之前发生的事情。
2. 首句为被动句,主干为The security services and police are restricted … by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.
3. 二句主干为主谓宾结构,即:Around 130,000 people/ signed /a petition against it; 原因状语为largely because of …
4. requiring internet providers to keep records of …为后置定语修饰 the provision
5. for up to a year 表长达一年的时间;keep 本应于records 在一起形成搭配 keep records, 但因为records后面的修饰成分过程,因此records 只能放在for up to a year 之后。

【明日预告】

Yet the material collected in this way can only be accessed under a system of legal and political oversight: the Home Office might like more powers, but the European court of justice ruled in December 2016 that independent judicial authorisation was needed for the “general and indiscriminate retention” of personal data.
