老师好:请教一下。
For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.
这句话中:
1) 此处,为什么用 order 而不是 orders?
2) that 引导的定语从句的先行词是哪个词,order 还是 volumes?
For H & M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.
【答】1. 本句order 是动词,跟rely 和 use 是3个并列的谓语部分,must rely..., order..., and use...,为何要加s 呢?
2. that strain natural resources 是定语从句,修饰vlomumes,意为:使自然资源紧张(订购规模)。in volumes 意为“大额地”,是程度状语,修饰order。
3. For H & M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world:动词不定式的复合结构for sb. to do sth.,在句首作目的状语。sb.即是 M & M,应该是个公司名称。
【翻译】为了给全球的2300多家专卖店提供价格仅为5.95美元的针织迷你裙,H & M公司必然依赖低工资的海外劳动力,造成自然资源紧张的大额订购,还要使用大量的有害化学品。

参考译文:以H&M为例子,他们在全球2300多家分店,若想同时推出一款售价为5.95美金的超短裙。只能从海外劳工的低价工资上下手。而且大批量生产会造成自然资源紧张同时还会产生大量的有害化学物质。
