每日一句：

A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.

【分析】

本句中a lateral move是主語，that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress是a lateral move的定語從句，promoted sb. to abandon..是謂語結構，although是狀語從句連接詞，I covered my exit是從句主幹，by引導狀語，引號裏的是claim的賓語，其中逗號之間的in the manner of a disgraced government minister是插入語。

【單詞】

lateral adj.平行的

block v.阻礙

prompt sb. to do 促使某人做某事

profile輪廓 -->high profile固定搭配“高調的”，反義詞low profile

disgrace 丟臉，恥辱

cover 掩蓋

【譯文】一次平級的人事調動傷了我的自尊心，並阻斷了我的事業發展，這促使我放棄自己相對高調的職業，當然，就像出醜的政府部長那樣，我藉口“我想有更多的時間與家人呆在一起”來掩飾我的離開。
