英文原句

If it is not clear, through role signs of one sort or another, which role is currently the operational one, the other party may not react in the appropriate way—we may, in fact, hear quite another message if the focal person speaks to us, for example, as a teacher and we hear her as an executive.

难点解析

本句的难点在于句中使用one、another、the operational one、 the other party等指代词，如果没有弄清楚这些指代词具体指的是什么内容，很难弄懂整句话的意思。而且，在it is not clear结构中需要明白真正的主语是什么。

理解这个句子的关键在于找到指代词对应的内容，这里the operational one和the other party是两种角色，对应的是role signs of one sort or another。如果还不清楚，看了接下来的for example就可以看出具体是什么意思了。另外主语从句的判断需要自己对一些结构极其语法特点有一定的了解，it is not clear that是典型的主语从句结构，而这里不是that从句，而是which role is…，如果你对各种从句的结构和语法功能够熟悉，不难发现这个其实是另一种形式的主语从句。
