1、每日一句長難句（18）

The corporation will survive as a publicly-funded broadcasting organization，at least for the time being，but its role，its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nation-wide debate in Britain.

2、【分析】

該句是由but連接的兩個轉折關係的分句。前半句爲The corporation will survive as …，其中at least for the time being的意思是“眼下，暫時”，這裏做時間狀語。後半句的主幹可以表達爲A are the subject of B（A是B的對象）。

3、【詞彙】

survive v. 倖存；戰勝

fund v.投資

for the time being 暫時
