句子切分:
第一句:
1. Outside directors are supposed to serve
2. as helpful, yet less biased, advisers on a firm’s board.
翻译解析:外部董事被认为可以在公司董事会中(地点状语提前翻)起到既有帮助又少有偏见的顾问作用(增词法)。
第二句:
1. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere,
2. they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals.
翻译解析:他们在别的领域功成名就,因此(增词法)他们有足够的独立性对总裁的提案提出质疑。
第三句:
1. If the sky, and the share price, is falling,
2. outside directors should be able to give advice
3. based on having weathered their own crises.
翻译解析:如果公司面临灭顶之灾,股价大跌(插入语这里对前面做补充,因此后翻),独立董事们理应能根据自己以往应对危机的经验(状语提前翻)提出建议。
动词及短语(重点):
suppose:假设;五星级词汇

serve as:作为什么而使用;serve还可以表示就职,如2010年真题中出现的serve on jury就职于审判团;重点单词
bias(名词/动词,偏见/使存偏见)-biased(形容词,有偏见的):文中less表示否定less biased很少偏见的相当于unbiased;
advise(动词,建议)-advisor(名词,(提建议的人)顾问;导师)
presume(动词,假定,推测;相信;五星级词汇)-presumely(副词,大概)-presumably(副词,可假定的);注意与上文出现的suppose假设;以及2010年真题中出现的reckon预估(数量)相比较;

depend(动词,依赖,取决于)-dependent(形容词,依靠的,依赖的)-dependence(名词,依赖)-independent(独立的)-independence(独立性)

weather:这里表示经受住,撑住,解决了;重点熟词僻义
其他相关词汇(选择记忆):

reputation:声誉,名誉;重要词汇
the sky is falling:天塌下来了,这里用作比喻公司倒闭或遇到很大困难;
