regulators but it is more likely to reflect a desire by UBS’s bosses to avoid months of speculation about the bank’s exposure, something that Marcel Rohner, the chief executive, described as “distracting”.[主體句式] The change of approach may be...but...[結(jié)構(gòu)分析] 這是一個(gè)并列句，but 引導(dǎo)的分句比較復(fù)雜，to avoide...不定式短語作前面a desire的定語，而something that...是a
