第184句 活动创新
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take the most shots at the goal-and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity.
译文：
关键在于，得分最多的正是那些射门次数最多的球员，而任何领域的创新活动都是如此。
点睛：
本句的主干是一个主系表结构：主语是the point，系动词是is，that引导表语从句the players…are the ones...。该表语从句包括两个定语从句，第一个定语从句who score most限定修饰the players，第二个定语从句who take the most shots限定修饰the ones。破折号后跟的句子用来解释前面的句子。注意：本句中，作者把发明创造比喻为踢足球，而把发明家比喻为足球运动员。
考点归纳：
