One might see all this as simply an example of the economics of information and greed. And indeed it is, if by greed one means the effort to earn a profit by providing what people are willing to pay for, even if what they want is information rather than a tangible product.条件状语从句怎么成分分析?怎么翻译比较好?

And indeed it is, if by greed one means the effort to earn a profit by providing what people are willing to pay for.

【翻译】如果贪婪是指通过提供人们愿意付钱购买的东西来获取利润的话,情况的确如此。

句中的one 表示“一个人”。mean... by...结构中,means 的主语虽然是one,但意思上实际就是by 后面的名词greed(贪婪)。例如:

What do you mean by smoking my cigars? 你抽我的雪茄烟,这是什么意思?

What do you mean by kung-fu,Mr. Wang? 王先生,“功夫”是什么意思?

What do you mean by not telling me the truth? 你不跟我说实话,这算什么意思?
