Passage Three
【篇章结构】
此篇讲的是商务工作中对员工的激励机制。主要内容为公司对员工的激励机制并非是人们通常以为的工资或者工作环境，而是工作中的挑战。
【词汇点拨】
challenging a. 挑战性的; ogical a. 合理的; manually ad. 手动地; identify v. 认同; tedious a. 单调的，沉闷的
【话题词汇】
arbitrarily ad. 专横地
mechanical a. 机械的
robotics n. 机器人学
by definition 当然
job security 职业安全感
labor relations 劳资关系
【难句解析】
1. It’s logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not
motivate workers.
【解析】此句结构是由转折连词but引导的两个分句。前面一个分句中，it做形式主语，后面的不定式to suppose是真正主语。That引导宾语从句，介词like以及其引导内容做things的后置定语。后面一个分句中，one expert 与
Frederick Herzberg为同位语，that后引导宾语从句。
2. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there’re always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them.
【解析】本句主句为there be 句型，常见的短语with the development of作时间状语，意为“随着……的发展”。jobs和people为表语，三个并列形容词boring， repetitive 和 mechanical一起修饰jobs，who引导的定语从句修饰先行词
unskilled people
