句子详解

[1] Advertisers are horrified. [2] Human nature being what it is, most people stick with default settings. [3] Few switch DNT on now, but if tracking is off it will stay off. [4] Bob Liodice, the chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers, says consumers will be worse off if the industry cannot collect information about their preferences. [5] People will not get fewer ads, he says, “they’ll get less meaningful, less targeted ads.”

1. [1]是简单句Advertisers（主）are（谓＝系）horrified（表）；理解为：广告商们都（对此）感到震惊

2. [2] 由独立主格Human nature being what it is和句子主干most people stick with default settings组成；其中what it is是现在分词being的逻辑表语；理解为：人的本性就是这样，大多数人（用户）都会坚持（浏览器）默认设置

3. [3] 由主句Few switch DNT on now，并列句but [条件状语从句if tracking is off it] will stay off组成；理解为：现在很少有人开启“禁追踪”选项，但是如果追踪选项处于关闭状态，那就会一直处于关闭状态

4. [4]由主句Bob Liodice, the chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers, says，宾语从句consumers will be worse off和条件状语从句if the industry cannot collect information about their preferences组成；理解为：美国广告协会的首席执行官鲍勃·利奥狄斯说到，如果本行业（广告行业）不能收集到有关客户偏好的信息，那么这对用户而言是不利的

5. [5]由宾语从句People will not get fewer ads, 主句he says, 和宾语从句“they’ll get less meaningful, less targeted ads.”组成；理解为：用户面对的广告不会变少，他说，“他们只会得到更没有意义、更没有针对性的广告”
