翻译题 16.Consequently, most of the world' s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary.

【正确答案】因此，世界上大多数冰箱并不在热带，虽然在那儿它们也许会被证明有用，而是在温度适宜、从气候上看几乎不需要冰箱的富裕国家。

【答案解析】句子主干：most of the…fridges are to be found，not in…but in…；where they mightprove useful是定语从句修饰tropics，where they are climatically almost unnecessary是定语从句修饰wealthy countries，with mild temperatures是介词短语作定语修饰wealthy countries。
