米思出国英语 We estimated (这是主句，PS；后面连接that 引导的不是宾语从句！但为什么会有that 引导词？ 因为宾语部分内容非常冗长，需要使用that做个缓冲)that either(either....or.....是一个并列词组，你看到either 后面肯定会有or) eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern (动名词做第一个宾语), sich as child labour (这是同位语), or increasing coporate( or 引导的第二个宾语，这个宾语也是动名词) giving by about 20% reaults（这是一个现在分词结构作定语，修饰 先行词increasing coporate） in fines (是介词短语做定语，修饰先行词results )that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials(这部分是个that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词fines), says one researcher.(最后这是个把谓语前置的倒装句)
PS: 这个句子结构的难点在2个地方 （1）either...or...的并列连接 ， 其实 either...or....整体是统一的，但是 衔接的句子成分会有很多延伸，这就会让人头晕。比较 either a man or a woman 和 eithera man for whom the family relies on , or a woman paying her role to raise their children . （是不是第二个看起来很晕）
（2）英文中有很多定语不只是用在句子里，还用在句子成分里，它就像洋葱一样，一层包裹着一层，我中有你，你中有我。（看起来也很晕）比如 ： increasing coporate giving by about 20% reaults in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials 这里 （1）“giving by about 20% reaults ”是分词定语，修饰 “ increasing coporate”。 （2） “in fines”是介词短语作宾语修饰“results”. （3）“that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials”是that 定语从句，修饰 fines
你把这2个难点弄明白了，这个句子结构就很好理解了。 Good luck!
