330. Given the huge amount of text generated by almost every transaction—from court briefs and legislation running into the thousands of pages to those foot-long receipts you get when you buy gum these days—a person who is a master of the written word can expect doors to open in just about every field.

译文　鉴于几乎每一项交易都会产生数量庞大的文本——从上千页的法庭摘要、法规到如今你买个口香糖都能收到的那些长达一英尺的收据——一个擅长书面文字的人理应得到几乎每个行业的大门都向他打开（的机会）。

点睛　本句的主干是...a person...can expect doors to open...。其中given引导的介词短语given the huge amount...transaction是原因状语；两破折号之间的内容from court briefs...these days是对the huge amount of text进行具体说明；who引导的定语从句修饰主语a person。

generate意为“产生，发生”，如：

The minister said the reforms would generate new jobs. 部长说，改革将会带来新的工作机会。

transaction在句中意为“事务；交易”，该词还有“处理，办理”之意，如：

You can leave the transaction of the matter to your secretary. 你可以把这件事交给秘书办理。

legislation意为“法律，法规”。

考点归纳　短语run into的常见用法可归纳如下：

表示“偶然碰见”，如：

I ran into my childhood friend at the airport. 我在机场偶然遇到了我童年时的朋友。

表示“遭遇（困难等）”。如：

The man knows his daughter has run into trouble. 这个男人知道他的女儿有麻烦了。

表示“共计，达到……之多”。如：

The guests on his wedding ran into 1000. 出席他婚礼的宾客达1000人之多。

表示“驱车造访”。如：

The young lady ran into the country with her mother and had a good day. 那个年轻的女士驾车带着她母亲到乡下转了一圈，玩得很开心。
