课文语法结构分析
1 We’ve been told since we were toddlers that “It’s good to share”. Parents and teachers keep reminding us to share toys, snacks, books, happy memories, and sometimes even sorrows with others. When we grow up, we share photos, life stories and opinions with people around us and with those we don’t know via social media. Taking it as an object of study, psychologists have published various papers starting that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional bonding.
Para. 1
我们还在蹒跚学步的时候就被教导“要懂得分享”。父母和老师不断地提醒我们要与他人分享玩具、零食、书籍以及快乐的回忆，有些时候甚至要分享自己的伤心事。我们长大后，会与周围的人或者社交媒体上不认识的人分享照片、人生经历和观点。心理学家们将分享作为研究的对象，发表了各种各样的论文来说明分享行为有助于建立积极的情感纽带。

2 Today, the action of sharing takes on extra meaning. It’s not just about sharing sweets or frustration; it has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives --- the whole world seems to be into sharing. We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don’t use ourselves all of the time. These vary from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. The sharing economy is taking off in all sorts of areas. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.
Para. 2
如今，分享行为又多了额外的含义。不仅仅是分享糖果或挫折，分享行为几乎已经扩大到生活的方方面面 --- 整个世界似乎都在分享。我们正在利用科技来减少在商品和服务上的花费，或者用我们一直闲置的物品赚钱：从汽车共享到住房共享，甚至是宠物共享。共享经济正在各个领域红火起来，它创造着新的思维方式，随时随地为有需求的人们提供服务。

3 This wealth of ways of sharing is a response to our increasing demand for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at the click of a button. Whether it’s an online shop where we can hire designer clothes at rock-bottom prices, or a platform from which we can rent out our flats for a couple of days, it’s out there. Whether we’re a lender or a borrower, it’s a win-win situation; everyone makes or saves money. We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to reuse items, thereby cutting down on waste. And set-ups such as bike and car sharing do a further favour for the environment by reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road.
Para. 3
我们需要价格有竞争力的优质产品和服务，大量的共享方式是对这种不断增长的需求的回应，现在这些需求都可以通过一键单击来实现。无论是以最低价格出租名牌服装的网店，还是可以把自己的公寓短租几天的平台，都已出现。这对于出租者和租用者来说都是一个双赢的局面；人人都能挣钱，或都能省钱。我们可以建立联系，有时候甚至可以交到新朋友。不仅如此，共享方式鼓励我们将物品再次利用，从而减少浪费。共享单车、共享汽车等计划的实施会进一步保护环境，因为它们减少了行驶在路上的污染排放车辆的数量。

4 But the sharing economy is not without its problems. As is often the case all over the world with new areas of economic activity, the sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision. Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to expand their share of the market, often at the expense of more traditional and established companies. In addition, the sharing economy is subject to abuse of trust. Some people have experienced damage to their properties whilst renting out their homes, and others have found themselves victims of theft or attack while sharing rides.
Para. 4
但共享经济并非没有问题。世界上新出现的经济领域通常都是如此，共享经济的发展速度过快，而现有法规和持续监管还未跟上。一些公司正在利用这种情况获取不公平的优势，来扩大市场份额，通常以牺牲已有的更为传统的公司为代价。此外，共享经济容易受到信任滥用的影响。有些人出租房屋时财物遭到破坏，还有人搭顺风车时成为盗窃甚至袭击的受害者。

Para. 5
尽管如此，共享经济无疑正在与我们的日常生活以及全球经济产生越来越密切的联系。它飞速扩张，我们只能想象它将来会包含什么。我们下一个共享的对象是什么？将由谁来共享以及如何共享？最有趣的问题是 --- 这些共享将会带我们进入什么样的社会？

When we grow up, we share photos, life stories and opinions with people around us and with those (we don’t know)省略who的定语从句 via social media. [Taking it as an object of study]现在分词作状语, psychologists have published various papers (stating(声明，陈述) that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to(对……有益) setting up positive emotional bonding)现在分词作定语.
我们长大后，会与周围的人或者社交媒体上不认识的人分享照片、人生经历和观点。心理学家们将分享作为研究的对象，发表了各种各样的论文来说明分享行为有助于建立积极的情感纽带。
② Today, the action of sharing takes on(具有；呈现) extra meaning. It’s not just about sharing sweets or frustration(懊丧，懊恼，沮丧); it has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives --- the whole world seems to be into sharing. We are using technology to reduce the money (that we spend on goods and services)定语从句, or to make money out of (利用……赚钱) those (that we don’t use ourselves all of the time)定语从句.
② 如今，分享行为又多了额外的含义。不仅仅是分享糖果或挫折，分享行为几乎已经扩大到生活的方方面面—— 整个世界似乎都在分享。我们正在利用科技来减少在商品和服务上的花费，或者用我们一直闲置的物品赚钱：
These vary from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. The sharing economy is taking off (事业、经济等成功；腾飞) in all sorts of areas. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people [when and where they want them]when和where分别引导时间状语从句和地点状语从句.

benefits
Whether we’re a lender or a borrower, it’s a win-win situation; everyone makes or saves money. We also make connections(建立联系) and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to(鼓励某人做某事) reuse items, thereby(因此，由此) [cutting down on waste]现在分词短语作结果状语. And set-ups such as bike and car sharing do a further favour for(有利于) the environment by reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road.
这对于出租者和租用者来说都是一个双赢的局面；人人都能挣钱，或都能省钱。我们可以建立联系，有时候甚至可以交到新朋友。不仅如此，共享方式鼓励我们将物品再次利用，从而减少浪费。共享单车、共享汽车等计划的实施会进一步保护环境，因为它们减少了行驶在路上的污染排放车辆的数量。
④ But the sharing economy is not without its problems. As is often the case(情况常常如此；这是常有的事；通常就是如此) all over the world with new areas of economic activity, the sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision(监督，管理). Some companies are taking unfair advantage of(利用) this situation to expand their share of the market, often at the expense of(以损害……为代价) more traditional and established companies.

drawbacks
In addition, the sharing economy is subject to(受……支配/影响；从属于……) abuse(滥用) of trust. Some people have experienced damage to their properties whilst (=while) renting out their homes, and others have found themselves victims of theft (偷窃，偷盗) or attack while sharing rides. Finally, personal data, the heart of the sharing economy, is not yet secure.
此外，共享经济容易受到信任滥用的影响。有些人出租房屋时财物遭到破坏，还有人搭顺风车时成为盗窃甚至袭击的受害者。最后一点，个人数据，即共享经济的核心，也并不安全。
find + 宾语（代词）+ 宾补（名词）
Sharing platforms collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, including our names, locations, bank information, and individual preferences for(个人对……的偏好) goods and services. Yet, the technology to prevent such information from leaking or being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness of(……的意识) potential risks is low among both service providers and users.
共享平台收集的个人信息涵盖我们生活的方方面面，包括姓名、位置、银行信息、对商品和服务的个人偏好。然而，防止信息泄露或被盗的技术仍然有待改进，服务方和用户对潜在的风险的防范意识也较低。

It is expanding at such a rate [that we can only imagine what it will comprise in the future]结果状语从句. What will we be sharing next Who will be sharing and how And the most interesting question of all --- what type of society will all this sharing take us to
⑤ 尽管如此，共享经济无疑正在与我们的日常生活以及全球经济产生越来越密切的联系。它飞速扩张，我们只能想象它将来会包含什么。我们下一个共享的对象是什么？将由谁来共享以及如何共享？最有趣的问题是——这些共享将会带我们进入什么样的社会？
