　　长难句在2018考研英语复习中算是一大难题，经常出现在英语阅读理解、完形填空以及翻译的题型之中，句子长且复杂，所以考生要非常清晰的掌握如何分析长难句的结构，进而把握文章主旨。要想快速的掌握长难句，考生在平常时就要注重练习和总结，这样才能拿下长难句。接下来文都考研英语老师就结合《The Music Business》这篇文章的每个段落给2018考研同学们系统的讲解长难句这个知识点，具体如下：

　　Lucian Grainge, the head of Universal, tries to square this circle. He explains that the merger is an effort to "invest in the future of the industry". The plan is not to cut costs and keep EMI's catalogue, but to "build it back up" and maintain it as a separate company within Universal.

　　the head of ...的负责人;

　　square this circle 做办不到的事;

　　merger(企业等的)合并，并购，吸收;

　　catalogue 目录，(美)大学情况一览;

　　maintain ...as 维持……;

　　a separate company一个独立的公司;

　　(1) Lucian Grainge, the head of Universal, tries to square this circle.

　　(2) He explains that the merger is an effort to "invest in the future of the industry".

　　(3) The plan is not to cut costs and keep EMI's catalogue, but to "build it back up" and maintain it as a separate company within Universal.

　　第一个句子的分析如下：Lucian Grainge/【主语】, the head of Universal/【同位语】, tries to /【谓语】square this circle【宾语】;

　　第二个句子的分析如下：He【主语】/ explains【谓语】/ that /【宾语从句】the merger is an effort to "invest in the future of the industry";

　　第三个句子的分析如下：The plan【主语】/ is【系动词】/ not to cut costs and keep EMI's catalogue【表语一】, but【表语二】to "build it back up" and maintain it as a separate company within Universal;该句中的“not...but...”结构可以应用到写作当中，例如“It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but that they become sad when the tears begin to flow;(19世纪末曾有人提到：人类不是因为悲伤而哭泣，而是因为流泪而悲伤。)”;

　　参考译文：

　　作为音乐首席执行官的卢西恩?格兰奇(Lucian Grainge)，正在尝试这样一件不可能完成的事。他解释道，这项并购是公司对"投资音乐产业未来"所做的努力。公司的计划并非削减开支并同时保留百代旗下的艺人名录，而是要重振其雄风，并将百代作为一个内部独立的公司来运作。
