长难句解析
The big worry is that the unicorns' loss reflect not temporary growing pains but markets which are contested and customers who are promiscuous.
这其中最让人担忧的是:独角兽公司的亏损所反映出的并不是暂时的公司成长期阵痛,而是服务市场的激烈竞争和用户需求的参差不齐。
这是一个主系表结构的句子:主语是 The big worry,系动词为 is,表语是一个由关系词 that 引导的表语从句 that the unicorns' loss reflect not temporary growing pains but markets which are contested and customers who are promiscuous。这个表语从句中包含包含一个 not A but B 的转折结构。but 转折后面跟着两个定语从句,一个是 which 引导的定语从句 which are contested 修饰 markets,补充说明市场充斥着竞争;另一个是 who 引导的定语从句 who are promiscuous 修饰 customers,补充说明用户群体参差不齐。

查漏补缺
问:Compared with the earlier generation of firms, today a reaction is in full swing, including over digital taxes and data and content laws. 一句中的 over 是什么用法?
答:over 表示“为……,对……”,比如:There has been much discussion over the question.对这个问题大家有不少的讨论。新闻这里 “today a reaction is in full swing, including over digital taxes and data and content laws.”的 over 被放到 including 后面了。调换一下语序,其实就是 “today a reaction(over digital taxes and data and content laws)is in full swing”。over 跟在名词 reaction 后面,表示“针对……的回应”。此外,including 在这里指:包括 digital taxes and data and content laws 这几个方面但不限于。
