例290　Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety.

【结构分析】句子开头是两个分词短语做状语，第一个分词状语是Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right，第二个分词状语是seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel，里面举了很多例子，句子的主干是information protection is now high on the boss's agenda，后面是介词短语in businesses of every variety，修饰前面的名词。

【亮点回放】此句话的亮点在于并列分词状语的使用，这两个分词left和seen放在一起，很有气势。

【核心词汇】

odd, low-level IT staff　古怪而层次较低的信息技术人员

put right　处理

as a concern only of data-rich industries　只存在于只有数据丰富的行业

information protection　信息保护

on the boss's agenda　老板的议事日程

in businesses of every variety　各个行业

【参考译文】在这之前，信息保护通常留给古怪而层次较低的信息技术人员处理，而且这个问题只存在于只有数据丰富的行业如银行、电信、航空旅游业等才关心信息保护问题，可是现在这个问题已经提到各个行业老板的议事日程的重要位置。
