2、壓力，深海底部對(duì)人類而言是一個(gè)充滿敵意的環(huán)境，在某些方面就像外層空間一樣險(xiǎn)惡和遙遠(yuǎn)。 分句1：Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures 分句2：hundreds of times greater than at the Earths surface 分句3：the deepocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans 分句4：in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space 分句2修飾分句1結(jié)尾

3、的短語intense pressures， 分句1是分句3的原因狀語 分句3是整個(gè)長(zhǎng)句子的主句 分句4是分句3的后置定語，修飾分句3的a hostile environment to humans 整個(gè)句子結(jié)構(gòu)是： 原因狀語+主句+后置定語 這是主句前后分別有狀語和定語的修飾成分，但是本句其實(shí)不是復(fù)合句。句子的核心意思是深海對(duì)于人類而言是一個(gè)充滿敵意的環(huán)境。 2.Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country's impressive popul

5、 growth is basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War 本句是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，只不過使用了倒裝，謂語動(dòng)詞是is. 3.As a result，claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized an

7、re 分句2嵌套分句1，分句1作為分句2主語的同位語從句嵌套在分句2中。因此本句的主句是claims have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore. 那些觀點(diǎn)廣為人知，并成為一些民間說法的基礎(chǔ)。同位語從句是that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health：只食用綠色食品就能防治疾病或增進(jìn)健康 4.There ar

10、構(gòu)成分句1的同位語從句。本句的意思是有很多沒有經(jīng)過證實(shí)的報(bào)道，然后并列了三個(gè)未經(jīng)過證實(shí)的報(bào)道的從句。 5·The desperate plight of the South has eclipsed the fact that reconstruction had to be undertaken also in the North，though less spectacularly (同位語從句fact that) 南方極為嚴(yán)重的困境使北方同樣需要開始重建(盡管不像南方那么引人注目)這一事實(shí)顯得不太重要。 分句1.

13、，主句結(jié)構(gòu)經(jīng)過精簡(jiǎn)應(yīng)該是The new accessibility of land sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled urban sprawl。 本句的理解困難還來自于抽象詞fuel，它作為名詞的含義廣為人知，是能源、燃料，作為動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候的意思就可以引申為促使、造成。 7.But these factors do not account for the interesting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ic

14、hthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth (Of結(jié)構(gòu)作定語：of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs) 但這些因素并不能解釋這個(gè)有趣的問題：為何在一個(gè)特定的地點(diǎn)會(huì)如此集中地出現(xiàn)即將臨產(chǎn)的懷孕魚龍群。 分句1：But these factors do not account for the interesting question 分句2：of how there came to be such

15、 a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth 分句1嵌套分句2.分句2是Of結(jié)構(gòu)作后置定語修飾說明question的內(nèi)容。 8.

17、 by 45 miles in extent 分句4：the two captains set out 分句1和分句4構(gòu)成倒裝，正常的語序應(yīng)該是分句4+分句1，即the two captains set out Amid rumors。分句1嵌套分句2和分句3，分句2和分句3是修飾分句1的rumors的同位語從句，用來說明謠言的具體內(nèi)容。分句2和分句3構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系。 9.

22、t 分句3：the perfection of a metal frame and steel wire of the finest quality 分句4：finally produced an instrument capable of myriad tonal effects 分句5：from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullness of sound， 分句6：from a liquid，singing tone to a sharp, percussive brilliance 本句的真正的主句結(jié)構(gòu)其實(shí)是

27、 we are accustomed to speaking of the films made before 1927 as silent.分句3是一個(gè)插入語，嵌套在分句2中，所以本句的真正強(qiáng)調(diào)的核心是the film has never been silent。 13.For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra，and very often the prin

29、ch film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra 分句2：and very often the principal qualification far holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces 分句1 和分句2構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系，分句2的難點(diǎn)在于not so much as的結(jié)構(gòu)。
