语法点：宾语从句;短语作定语;定语从句;短语作状语

解析：

Step1：断长句

①This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in, // ②a fact underlined by statistics //③that show that out of eighty European television networks// ④no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.

依照断句原则(长度适中;结构完整)，将长句子切分成四个小短句，便于理解。

Step2：抓主干

This demonstrates that……(主谓宾结构)

Step3：理结构

① that the television business is not an easy world to survive in

宾语从句。采取顺译，that无意义，不译。

to survive in介词短语作定语，修饰名词world ，前置法翻译。

理解：这单独证明了，电视行业并不是一个容易生存的世界，

② a fact underlined by statistics

underlined by statistics 过去分词(Ved)短语作定语，修饰 fact。

理解：由数据所强调的这一事实

③that show that out of eighty European television networks

同位语从句。解释说明a fact，that不译。

本小句第二个that为宾语从句，that不译。

out of eighty European television networks介词短语作状语，修饰后面的句子。

理解：表明了，在80个欧洲电视网中，

④no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.

no less than 50% took a loss 为that从句中的主谓宾结构。

in 1989介词短语作时间状语。

理解：在1989年不少于50%遭受损失。

Step4：定句意

初次译文：

这单独证明了，电视行业并不是一个容易生存的世界，由数据所强调的这一事实表明了，在80个欧洲电视网中，在1989年不少于50%遭受了损失。(此译文建议练习)

润色译文：

这足以证明，电视行业并非那么容易生存，我们可以用数据说话：1989年，在80个欧洲电视网中，有一多半都遭受了亏损。(此译文仅作参考)

单词补充：

demonstrate 证实，展示 statistics 数据
