He believes this is a pragmatic response to local hostility at outright takeovers and to the fact that it is hard to run a company from abroad (as Geely, a Chinese car firm, has found after purchasing Sweden's Volvo).
分析:
1 本句是一个宾语从句
2 句子的主干是he believes ...
3 从句的主干是this is a pragmatic response to... and to the fact that ...
4 fact后面的that引导一个同位语从句
5 括号里面的as为举例
参考译文:
他相信,由于当地人对全盘收购的敌意,以及跨国经营公司的困难(就像中国的汽车公司吉利,收购了瑞典的沃尔沃之后经历的那样),这是一种比较务实的反应。
