01【长难句】

　　It’s not every day that you get to witness the birth of a new social system. But General Motors’ June 1 bankruptcy, and the company’s likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury, does suggest the arrival of a novel relationship—at least for the United States—between the citizen and his government.

　　02【句型分析】

      本句使用了强调句型的否定式It is not…that…。every day是所强调的内容。But后的句子又使用了do强调句子谓语的强调结构，句中表现为用does强调suggest即does suggest…。主语General Motors’ June 1 bankruptcy后面是插入语and the company’s likely reorganization under the ownership of the U.S. Treasury，对主语起补充说明的作用，宾语是the arrival of a novel relationship，破折号之间是插入语。

　　03【词汇】

　　witness 见证

　　bankruptcy 破产

　　the U.S. Treasury 美国财政部

　　novel 创新的

　　04【参考译文】
