整合短句是英语写作中的一个重要方法，小编今天帮大家利用经济学人的句子，分析经济学人编辑是如何把几个想法整合在一起的，希望对你们有所收获
1.A CLOTHING WORKSHOP has two sewing machines.
2.A CLOTHING WORKSHOP was established long ago on the outskirts of Lima.
3.Lima is Peru’s capital city.
4.A CLOTHING WORKSHOP may be one of the world’s most influential companies.
5.A CLOTHING WORKSHOP never started operating.
6.A CLOTHING WORKSHOP was never intended to operate.
首先筛选出重要句子来做整合句的主干部分，分析发现第4个句子是评论句，其它句是事实句，所以重要句是第4句，我们将其定为主干。这时句子的主语就是A CLOTHING WORKSHOP，都是第1，2，4，5，6句的逻辑主语。而第二句的Lima是第三句的逻辑主语。接下来，我们需要考虑各句与相应逻辑主语的关系，然后选用合适的连接词和方法。
我们利用介词with将第1句与逻辑主语A CLOTHING WORKSHOP连接，表示拥有，就变成：A CLOTHING WORKSHOP, with just two sewing machines, may be one of the world’s most influential companies.
我们利用非谓语established将第2句与逻辑主语A CLOTHING WORKSHOP连接起来：A CLOTHING WORKSHOP, with just two sewing machines, established long ago on the outskirts of Lima, may be one of the world’s most influential companies.
我们用同位语的方式将第3句与逻辑主语Lima连接起来,最终变成a句：A CLOTHING WORKSHOP, with just two sewing machines, established long ago on the outskirts of Lima,Peru’s capital city, may be one of the world’s most influential companies.
分析发现第5，6句其实都是在表达一个相似意思，且与主干句有转折的关系，我们先将第5,6句两句结合起来成为b句：A CLOTHING WORKSHOP never started operating—and was never intended to do so.
这时我们发现，a,b两句主语一样，我们将次要句子b句的主语换成指事物的代词It：It never started operating—and was never intended to do so.
最后借助转折连词even though将a,b两句结合起来：
A CLOTHING WORKSHOP, with just two sewing machines, established long ago on the outskirts of Lima, Peru’s capital city, may be one of the world’s most influential companies, even though it never started operating—and was never intended to do so.
