There appears little prospect of this desperate situation being remedied without radical action being taken.
如果不采取激进行动,这种绝望的情况得到补救的可能性似乎很小。
句子结构高度复杂:存在句型 + 双重动名词复合结构嵌套(含被动) + 否定条件嵌入,层次多且紧凑;主干虽可定位但理解各成分的逻辑关系(条件、结果、否定)难度极高,属于典型长难句。
The woman, who later turned out to be a schizophrenic(精神分裂症患者) without access to her medications, was, by some force, wrestled out and escorted away, then put in a hospital for observation, in a step that was actually safer for everyone than any one of us pressing charges.
这名女子,后来被证实是一名无法获得药物治疗的精神分裂症患者,被某种力量强行拖出并护送离开,然后被送往医院观察,这一步实际上比我们任何人提出指控对每个人都更安全。
典型长难句:主语与谓语被17词的定语从句分隔,含双层嵌套修饰、三个连续被动语态、比较结构和动名词复合结构,主干识别和成分划分对基础较差的学习者有很高挑战性。
This attempts to address the fact that Congress' previously mentioned student loan forgiveness plan largely helps out the wealthy, but is an adverse incentive for universities to keep raising tuition and for students to choose to major in low-earning degree programs.
这试图解决这样一个事实,即国会先前提到的学生贷款宽恕计划在很大程度上帮助了富人,但对大学继续提高学费和学生选择主修低收入学位项目来说是一种不利的激励。
主句简洁但 that 同位语部分层次复杂:内含 but 并列两个负面后果,第二个后果又嵌套两个并列的 for... to... 结构,全句66词,信息密度高,主干与修饰成分的切分对基础学习者有较大挑战。
Well, the marketing professors argue that this is actually a problem, because the combination of pleasing aesthetics of and easy access to unhealthy foods, such as hamburgers and pizza, may be contributing to a worldwide health crisis.
那么,市场营销学教授们认为这实际上是一个问题,因为不健康食品(如汉堡包和披萨)的令人愉悦的美学设计与便捷获取的结合,可能正在促成一场全球性的健康危机。
句子主干为 "professors argue that this is a problem, because...",但 "because" 后的原因部分结构复杂:"the combination of [pleasing aesthetics of] and [easy access to] unhealthy foods" 涉及嵌套的介词短语并列、后置定语,且 "such as hamburgers and pizza" 插入作补充说明;"may be contributing to" 又是情态动词 + 进行体;多层修饰与并列嵌套对基础较差者构成显著障碍。
The task of the global strategist of a business is to build a platform of capabilities derived from the resources, experiences and innovations of units operating in multiple locations, to transplant those capabilities wherever appropriate, and then to systematically upgrade and renew them—ahead of the competition.
企业全球战略家的任务是建立一个源自于在多个地点运营的单位的资源、经验和创新的能力平台,在任何适当的地方移植这些能力,然后系统性地升级和更新它们——在竞争之前。
句子长达50余词,包含三个并列的不定式短语作表语,每个短语内部又有多层介词短语后置定语嵌套修饰,形成复杂的层级结构;主干虽清晰但修饰成分繁多,需要较强的句法分析能力才能准确理解。
As a result, to avoid feelings of shame and worthlessness associated with failure, they extend themselves to such a degree that there's a subsequent adverse effect on their well-being.
因此,为了避免与失败相关的羞耻感和无价值感,他们将自己延伸到如此程度,以至于对他们的幸福感产生了后续的不利影响。
句子较长(31词),包含多层逻辑嵌套:"As a result" 引出结果句,"to avoid" 不定式作目的状语前置,主句 "extend themselves to such a degree that" 又内嵌 "that" 引导的结果状语;"associated with failure" 过去分词短语作后置定语;需同时处理因果、目的、程度、定语等多重关系,主干识别和逻辑链条追溯有一定难度。
These included measures to reduce air pollution; to control the damage to marine ecosystems, which can have a huge effect on fish stocks on which hundreds of millions of people depend; and to curb the degradation of land where modern agricultural methods were pursued without regard to the longer-term consequences.
这些包括减少空气污染的措施;控制对海洋生态系统的破坏,这种破坏可能对数亿人赖以生存的鱼类资源产生巨大影响;以及遏制在不顾及长期后果的情况下推行现代农业方法的土地退化。
句子较长,三个 "to" 引导的并列项目之间用分号分隔,且第二、第三项内部都有较长后置修饰信息。读者如果抓不住 "measures to...; to...; and to..." 的骨架,很容易在中段迷失。
Before the 20th century, a handful of scientists had been interested in the theoretical relationship between greenhouse gases and climate change, but only the empirical evidence accumulated since the late 20th century established a clear connection between the burning of fossil fuels and a vastly accelerated rise in global temperatures.
在20世纪之前,少数科学家已经对温室气体和气候变化之间的理论关系感兴趣,但只有自20世纪末以来积累的经验证据建立了化石燃料燃烧与全球气温大幅加速上升之间的明确联系。
句子较长(38 词),包含多层修饰和嵌套:主句中有 but 连接的转折对比,后半句的主语 'the empirical evidence accumulated since...' 带有过去分词后置定语,'between A and B' 结构中 A 和 B 都较长。时间状语、转折逻辑、多重修饰交织,主干不易一眼识别。
Ironically, the new tax on endowments drains financial aid funds from the very schools most able to offer opportunity to those who have earned a spot but cannot otherwise afford this education.
具有讽刺意味的是,这项针对捐赠基金的新税收,从那些最有能力为已获得入学资格但无力负担此类教育的学生提供机会的学校那里,抽走了助学金资金。
主句简洁(主谓宾),但宾语部分包含多层修饰和嵌套(the very schools most able to... to those who... but...),修饰成分长达 20 余词,需逐层拆解才能准确理解;整体属于典型的学术长难句
We need stories and histories of change and transformation: ecological stories that make us confront the fact that human power is potentially destructive, and that the survival of our species on this planet depends on the preservation of soil and water, and the habitats and ecological systems.
我们需要变化与转变的故事和历史:让我们直面人类力量具有潜在破坏性这一事实,以及我们物种在这个星球上的生存依赖于土壤、水、栖息地和生态系统的保护的生态故事。
句子长达50余词,包含冒号解释结构、定语从句(that make us...)、双重同位语从句(that human power... and that the survival...)、复杂并列结构(soil and water, and the habitats...),主干不易定位,信息层次多,对句法分析能力要求高,是典型的考研长难句。
Apple is an outstanding case of a company whose unique capabilities give it a worldwide competitive advantage, particularly with respect to its ability to build platforms from a product base that integrates functional and aesthetic design.
苹果公司是一个因其独特能力而拥有全球竞争优势的杰出案例,尤其在其从整合了功能与美学设计的产品基础构建平台的能力方面。
句长 31 词,包含多层嵌套修饰:主干 + whose 定语(内含动宾结构)+ particularly 引导的限定 + with respect to 介词短语 + to 不定式短语 + from 介词短语 + that 定语,共五层递进,信息密度大,主干与修饰成分交织,初学者易迷失重点。
It is time that we showed successes and accelerations in ecological awareness, action and restoration: stories that include past successes and future visions about the rise of urban gardening and of renaturalised riverscapes, of successful protests against polluted air and water, of the rise of regional markets and slow food, and the planting of trees around the globe, of initiatives and enterprises that work towards ecological restoration.
现在是我们展示在生态意识、行动和恢复方面的成功和加速发展的时候了:这些故事包括过去的成功和未来的愿景,涉及城市园艺的兴起、河流景观的自然化、反对空气污染和水污染的成功抗议、区域市场和慢食的兴起、全球植树活动,以及致力于生态恢复的倡议和企业。
句子很长,冒号后跟着一长串以 of 反复领起的并列短语,主干后被大量列举成分拖长,学习者容易在重复的 of 中迷失、难以理清各短语的挂靠关系。
They are home to over six million people, who face repeated displacement from flooding and erosion—which may be getting worse because of climate change—and a range of health risks, including poor nutrition, malaria(疟疾) and other water-borne diseases.
它们是六百多万人的家园,这些人面临着因洪水和侵蚀而反复流离失所——这种情况可能因气候变化而变得更糟——以及一系列健康风险,包括营养不良、疟疾和其他水传播疾病。
句子长达50余词,主句包含限定性定语从句,其中又嵌套破折号插入的非限定性定语从句,再加上并列结构和介词短语多层修饰,主干定位有一定难度,需要理清多层嵌套关系。
If the ever-faster exhaustion of natural resources (in ecological terms) and the "shrinking of the present" (in social terms) are urgent problems of humans, then cutting down on exhaustive practices and working towards a "stretching of the present" will be ways to move forward.
如果自然资源的日益加速枯竭(从生态角度而言)和“当下的萎缩”(从社会角度而言)是人类的紧迫问题,那么减少耗竭性做法并致力于“当下的延展”将是前进的方法。
主句为 if-then 条件句,if 部分含两个并列的名词短语(各带括号内补充说明),then 部分主语是两个并列的动名词短语;整体句子长达 50+ 词,嵌套层次多,需准确定位主干。
If feelings of pride begin to turn to feelings of superiority when we think that our group or our beliefs are better than those around us, however, then we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes that can be harmful.
然而,如果当我们认为我们的群体或我们的信仰比周围人的更好时,自豪感开始转变为优越感,那么我们就开始形成可能有害的偏见态度。
条件从句跨度长且包含三层嵌套(if 从句内嵌 when 从句,when 从句内又有 that 宾语从句),加上插入语 however 的干扰,主干识别难度较大;整句 40 余词,对基础较差学习者的句法分析能力要求较高。
That's a point reinforced by another recent study, which found that wild spaces located within urban areas—and the plants and animals that thrive in them—are particularly important for human health and well-being.
这是另一个近期研究强调的观点,该研究发现位于城市区域内的野生空间——以及在其中茁壮成长的植物和动物——对人类健康和福祉特别重要。
句子包含多层嵌套:主句后接过去分词短语作定语,非限制性定语从句内又嵌套宾语从句,宾语从句的主语带过去分词定语和破折号插入的同位语(同位语内再嵌套定语从句);全句主干为 "That's a point",但真正的核心信息深埋在从句和修饰层中,定位主干和理清修饰关系需较强的句法分析能力,对基础较差学习者有较高难度。
"We have been in this cycle of environmental generational amnesia for a long time, where the baseline keeps shifting and we don't even realize what we're losing until it's gone. If we can get people to understand how much meaning and value can come from having more experiences with more wild forms of nature, then maybe we can stop this cycle and move toward conserving and restoring what we have left."
"我们长期处于这种环境代际遗忘的循环中,基线不断变化,直到消失我们才意识到正在失去什么。如果我们能让人们理解,从与更多野生形式的自然进行更多接触的经历中能获得多少意义和价值,那么也许我们可以停止这个循环,并朝着保护和恢复我们所剩下的东西前进。"
句子较长,包含多个逻辑层次和连续的介词短语、动名词结构,如 "come from having..."、"move toward conserving and restoring..."。虽然主线逻辑清楚,但基础较弱的学习者容易在长串抽象表达中迷失。
As Soga and his coauthors wrote in their paper, "Our results suggest that there is likely a feedback loop in which an increase in people who have negative attitudes towards nature in one generation will lead to a further increase in people with similar attitudes in the next generation."
正如Soga和他的合著者在他们的论文中所写:“我们的研究结果表明,可能存在一个反馈循环,其中某一代对自然持消极态度的人数增加,将导致下一代持类似态度的人数进一步增加。”
句子长达 40 余词,包含引述框架、存在句、in which 引导的关系分句、多层后置定语(who 分句 + 介词短语)嵌套,以及跨代际对比结构,主干识别和修饰关系判断均有难度。
But in developing countries, the path of future development has more potential to change, which has encouraged international institutions to devise more sustainable growth pathways that are supposed both to alleviate poverty and preserve the environment.
但是在发展中国家,未来发展的道路有更大的改变潜力,这鼓励了国际机构设计更可持续的增长路径,这些路径应该既要减轻贫困又要保护环境。
句子较长,包含多个抽象名词短语和连续的不定式表达,如 "to change"、"to devise"、"to alleviate"。虽然整体逻辑清楚,但基础较弱的学生容易在并列结构和修饰关系处断错。
The more members of a team share similar demographics, the more inclined they will be to remain associates long after the team has served its purpose.
一个团队中拥有相似人口统计学特征的成员越多,他们在团队完成其使命后很久仍保持伙伴关系的倾向就越强。
使用了 'the more..., the more...' 比较级平行结构,第一分句因该结构导致语序变化(members of a team share 的主谓识别需要还原),第二分句嵌套了 'be inclined to do' 和时间状语从句 'long after...',多层修饰成分交织,对基础较差的学习者构成较高理解难度。
It was not until the 1940s that the concept of the "environment" embracing all living and nonliving things developed.
直到20世纪40年代,“环境”这一包含所有生物和非生物的概念才发展起来。
It was not until... that 强调句型本身结构复杂,嵌套时间状语和完整主谓结构;主语部分 the concept of... embracing... 包含介词短语 + 现在分词短语双重修饰,层次较深;整体属于典型长难句
In a study of British civil servants, men who scored high on measures of cynical hostility had shorter telomeres than men whose hostility scores were low.
在一项对英国公务员的研究中,在愤世嫉俗敌意测试中得分高的男性比敌意得分低的男性拥有更短的端粒。
主干是简单的比较结构 men had shorter telomeres than men,但两处 men 都带有较长的定语修饰(分别用 who 和 whose 引导),形成定语嵌套,句长适中但修饰成分复杂,需要较强的句法分析能力才能快速把握主干与比较逻辑。
The inconsistency, though, is that I've never worked for a team more successful and cohesive than the one of which I am a member right now.
然而,这种不一致之处在于,我从未为一个比我现在所在的团队更成功、更有凝聚力的团队工作过。
句子包含插入语 "though"、现在完成时、否定经验加比较结构,以及较正式的 "of which I am a member"。虽然句长不算特别长,但信息压缩度高,基础学习者容易在 "never" 和 "more...than" 的组合处读反。
The study found that basic measures to tackle some of the key causes of environmental damage were still not being taken.
该研究发现,解决环境破坏的一些关键原因的基本措施仍未被采取。
句子整体不算特别长,但包含较长的名词后置说明 "to tackle some of the key causes of environmental damage",并且有 "were still not being taken" 这种进行式被动,基础薄弱者容易找不到意义重心。
Degradation of the world's natural resources by humans is rapidly outpacing the planet's ability to absorb the damage, a recent UN environmental study has found.
人类对世界自然资源的破坏正迅速超过地球吸收损害的能力,一项近期的联合国环境研究发现。
句中有 "Degradation"、"outpacing"、"absorb the damage"、"environmental study" 等书面和抽象表达,对基础较弱的学生有一定门槛。尤其 "outpace" 和 "absorb" 都涉及抽象引申义。
"If current trends continue, and the world fails to improve patterns of production and consumption, then the state of the world's environment will continue to decline," warned UN executive director Achim Steiner.
“如果当前趋势继续,且世界未能改善生产和消费模式,那么世界环境的状况将继续恶化,”联合国执行主任阿希姆·施泰纳警告说。
本句基础词不少,但有多个需要结合语境理解的词和搭配,如 "patterns" 表示“模式”、"state" 表示“状况”、"decline" 在环境语境中表示“恶化”。"production and consumption" 也带有环境政策和经济话题色彩。
What this means: aging is a dynamic process that could possibly be accelerated or slowed—and, in some aspects, even reversed.
这意味着:衰老是一个动态过程,它可能被加速或减缓——并且在某些方面甚至可以逆转。
句子包含冒号引导的解释结构、被动语态三段式(accelerated or slowed... reversed)、破折号插入的限定短语(in some aspects),以及情态动词 + 被动的组合。主干清晰(aging is a process),但修饰成分较长且层次丰富("that" 引导的修饰 + 破折号插入),需要一定的句法分析能力才能准确把握各部分关系。
For the majority of his childhood, Wardian devoted his energy to becoming a Division I lacrosse(长曲棍球) player-a dream he realized when he was recruited to play at Michigan State University.
在他童年的大部分时间里,沃迪安将他的精力投入到成为一名一级长曲棍球运动员——一个当他被密歇根州立大学招募去打球时实现的梦想。
句子包含多层嵌套:主句 + 动名词短语作宾语(becoming...) + 同位语(a dream) + 省略关系代词的定语从句(he realized) + 时间状语从句(when he was recruited...) + 不定式短语(to play...)。尽管各部分独立看不算复杂,但层层嵌套且关系代词省略,需要较强的句子拆解能力才能准确定位主干和修饰关系。
"There is no more rewarding experience in life than being part of an audience where everybody is leaning forward in silence, thoroughly carried away by a great performance of a masterpiece," one commenter wrote.
“生活中没有比成为观众的一员更有意义的经历了,在观众中每个人都静静地身体前倾,完全被一部杰作的精彩表演所吸引,”一位评论者写道。
句子主干是 "There is no more...than" 否定比较结构,需要理解转换;嵌套了 where 引导的定语、三个并列的分词/介词短语修饰 audience,以及引语后置的叙述格式,结构层次较多但不算极端复杂。
And that power is only likely to intensify, leaving governments with no choice but to confront it head-on by taking the companies to court, passing new competition laws, and perhaps even breaking up the tech giants.
而且那种力量只可能会增强,使得政府别无选择,只能通过将这些公司告上法庭、通过新的竞争法、甚至可能拆分科技巨头来正面应对它。
句长适中但结构紧凑:主句后接现在分词短语作结果状语,再嵌套 by doing 引导的三个并列成分;需识别 leaving 的状语功能和 by 后并列的递进逻辑;it 的指代也需回溯前文;整体属于中等偏上的长难句,但主干清晰。
On the contrary, when people stay at large resorts or on cruise ships, they make most of their purchases there, leaving local communities little opportunity to benefit from tourist spending.
相反,当人们住在大型度假村或游轮上时,他们大部分购物都在那里进行,给当地社区留下很少从旅游消费中获益的机会。
句子包含并列结构(large resorts or on cruise ships)、现在分词作结果状语(leaving...)、leave sb. sth. to do 的复杂结构,逗号分隔的因果逻辑链条需要理清;整体为一个主从复合的长句,但主干相对清晰,难度中等偏上。
One way we can check our internal biases and inconsistencies is through the social verification of knowledge, in which we test our ideas in a rigorous and systematic way to see if they make sense not just to us, but to other people.
我们可以检查我们的内在偏见和不一致之处的一种方法是通过知识的社会验证,在这个过程中我们以严谨和系统的方式测试我们的想法,看看它们不仅对我们有意义,而且对其他人也有意义。
包含多个学术术语(biases、inconsistencies、verification、rigorous、systematic),其中 "verification"、"rigorous" 对基础较差的学习者有一定门槛,但无超纲生僻词;"make sense" 等短语为常见表达。
What makes it important to find new antibiotic drugs?
什么使得寻找新的抗生素药物变得重要?
句子虽短,但包含使役动词复合结构、形式主语、疑问句三重语法点叠加:"What makes it important to..." 中 "it" 作形式主语指代后置的不定式,且整体为特殊疑问句语序。初学者易混淆 "it" 的功能、疑问词的成分,以及使役结构的逻辑关系。
But the extent to which individuals can do this on their own is a function of how well integrated they are with communities of systematic inquiry in the first place.
但是个体能够独立做到这一点的程度首先是他们与系统探究社区整合程度的函数。
包含多个学术高频但抽象的词汇(extent, function, integrate, systematic, inquiry),且 "function"(函数/依赖)、"community"(社群非社区)、"extent"(程度)等有熟词僻义或学术特定用法,需要一定词汇积累才能准确理解。
But the Paris Conference nevertheless marked a historic step toward the recognition of the need for action on climate change, the cutting of carbon emissions, and world cooperation.
但是巴黎会议仍然标志着朝着认识到应对气候变化采取行动的必要性、削减碳排放以及世界合作迈出了历史性的一步。
句子主干清晰(Conference marked a step),但 toward 后接三个长短不一的并列名词短语,其中前两个都是多层 of/for 嵌套的名词化结构,需要逐层解构才能理解,对习惯动词从句思维的中文学习者有挑战。
Such charges ignore the fact that these institutions continue to prepare students for success in their work, for thoughtful engagement in civic life, for lifelong learning, and for understanding the world and those with whom they live.
此类指控忽视了这些机构持续为学生在工作中取得成功、在公民生活中进行深思熟虑的参与、进行终身学习以及理解世界和与他们共同生活的人做准备的事实。
主句含长同位语从句(that 从句说明 the fact),从句内部有四个并列的 for 短语,最后一个 for 短语又嵌套了 with whom 定语结构;句子较长(30+ 词),主干定位和并列边界识别对学习者有一定挑战,但不属于多层嵌套的超高难度。
They echo the recommendation about getting children into nature, but also include telling stories of how things used to be, imagining what things might be like in the future, and developing a common language about nature, "a way of speaking about wild and domestic interaction patterns, and the meaningful, deep and often joyful feelings that they generate."
他们呼应了关于让孩子们接触大自然的建议,但也包括讲述过去的事情是怎样的故事,想象未来的事情可能是什么样子,以及开发一种关于大自然的通用语言,“一种谈论野生和家养生物互动模式的方式,以及它们所产生的有意义、深刻且常常令人愉悦的情感”。
句子较长(约 50 词),包含多层并列("but also include" 后接三个动名词短语)、嵌套修饰("of how things used to be"、"what things might be like")和同位语解释(引号部分),主干与修饰层次需仔细梳理,对基础差的学习者有挑战。
Climate change is aggravated by the emissions of greenhouse gases from chemical and natural fertilisers used in agriculture which increased by more than a quarter between 2000 and 2010.
气候变化因农业中使用的化学和天然肥料产生的温室气体排放而加剧,这些排放在2000年至2010年间增加了超过四分之一。
句长适中(约30词),但包含被动语态、双重介词链(of...from...)、后置定语(used in agriculture)、关系代词引导的补充信息等多重嵌套结构;主干 'Climate change is aggravated' 相对清晰,但定语层层叠加增加了理解难度。
It was not until he ran in the 2004 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials-the first of three for Wardian-that he felt that he was a legitimate runner.
直到他参加2004年美国奥运会马拉松选拔赛——这是沃迪安参加的三次选拔赛中的第一次——他才觉得自己是一名合格的跑步者。
使用 It was not until... that... 强调句型,结合否定转移,需要识别并还原才能准确理解;句中插入破折号同位语 the first of three for Wardian 增加了信息层次;整体结构较长,主干不算难找但需要处理多个修饰成分
The study concludes that without radical action the level of prosperity that millions of people in the developed world count on will be impossible to maintain or extend to poorer countries.
该研究得出结论:如果不采取激进行动,发达国家数百万人所依赖的繁荣水平将无法维持,也无法扩展到较贫穷国家。
句子主干被长定语从句 that millions of people in the developed world count on 分隔,主语 the level 与谓语 will be 距离较远;另有并列结构 maintain or extend 和介词短语嵌套 in the developed world;整体为含有长修饰语和并列结构的复合句,需要较强的句法分析能力才能准确把握主干。
Prof. Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: "A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem—waste—at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions."
英国曼彻斯特大学的Adisa Azapagic教授同意这种酶可能有用,但补充说:“需要进行全面的生命周期评估,以确保该技术不会以牺牲其他环境问题为代价来解决一个环境问题——废物,包括额外的温室气体排放。”
句子较长,包含 "agreed...but added" 的并列结构,"ensure that" 引导的宾语从句,以及破折号插入的同位说明;否定词 "does not" 的语义作用域延伸到 "at the expense of" 整个短语,需要整体理解才能准确把握;主干相对清晰,但修饰成分较多,对基础较差的学习者有一定挑战。
When presented with a choice between the appeal of their inbox and other more important activities, many sacrifice the latter.
当面临在他们收件箱的吸引力和其他更重要的活动之间做出选择时,许多人会牺牲后者。
状语从句前置且省略主语和系动词,从句内部包含 between A and B 的长距离并列结构,主句使用代词 the latter 回指,需跨句追踪指代关系,句子虽非多层嵌套但信息密度较高。
To an extent, it has surprised us and the rest of the scientific community that telomeres do not simply carry out the commands issued by your genetic code.
在某种程度上,端粒并非简单地执行由你的遗传密码发出的指令,这让我们和科学界的其他人士感到惊讶。
主句使用形式主语 it 后置真正主语从句,从句内含长距离后置修饰(commands issued by...)和否定副词 simply 的微妙用法,句子逻辑层次较多,需仔细分析才能理清修饰关系和语义重心。
That calls for additional research—Lev and her coauthors have published a toolkit that other municipalities can follow to study the value of their own wild spaces—and clear communication of the results.
那需要额外的研究——Lev和她的合著者已经发布了一个其他市政当局可以遵循的工具包,以研究他们自己野生空间的价值——以及结果的清晰传达。
句子较长(30+ 词),包含破折号插入的复杂补充说明,主干被打断;并列结构跨越插入语,需要较强的句法分析能力才能准确把握主干和从属关系
Humans have been asking this question for thousands of years, and recently, it's becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the differences between people's rates of aging lie in the complex interactions among genes, social relationships, environments and lifestyles.
人类几千年来一直在提出这个问题,最近,科学家们越来越清楚地认识到,人们衰老速度的差异在于基因、社会关系、环境和生活方式之间复杂的相互作用。
句子较长(35 词),包含形式主语结构、并列结构和多个时间状语,且存在 that 引导的内容从句嵌套;主干需要识别 it 作形式主语,存在一定辨析难度,但整体逻辑清晰,无多层复杂嵌套。
By contrast, Telefonica, a Spanish telecommunications company that is now the world's fifth largest telecom by revenues, first developed its special advantage abroad.
相比之下,西班牙电信公司Telefonica(按收入计算现为全球第五大电信公司)首先在国外发展了其特殊优势。
主语和谓语被长达 19 词的同位语分隔,同位语内部又嵌套定语从句,形成多层修饰结构,主干不易定位;整句虽只有一个主句,但插入成分的处理对基础较差的学习者构成挑战。
Sleeping on a crammed plane, adjusting to different time zones and finding food to eat (Wardian is a vegetarian) would make it an exhausting trip over a month, let alone a week.
在拥挤的飞机上睡觉、适应不同的时区以及寻找食物吃(沃迪安是素食者)会使这成为一个超过一个月的疲惫旅程,更不用说一周了。
句子使用了三个动名词短语并列作主语,结构较长,且包含括号插入语和 "let alone" 引导的省略结构,主干虽然清晰(主语 + 谓语 + 宾语),但多层修饰和并列使句子显得复杂,需要理清并列关系和逻辑递进。
It's likely the "unpredictable, uncontrollable and ongoing nature of day-to-day email in terms of volume, importance and urgency" contributes to their levels of anxiety and to diminished leadership skills.
很可能“日常电子邮件在数量、重要性和紧迫性方面具有不可预测、不可控制和持续的性质”导致了他们的焦虑水平,并导致了领导能力的下降。
形式主语 It + 省略 that + 引号内长名词短语作核心内容主语,加上两组三元并列和重复的介词 to,主干 "nature contributes to..." 被大量修饰成分包裹,基础薄弱的读者较难快速定位主谓。
An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles.
然后一个国际团队调整了这种酶以观察它是如何进化的,但测试显示他们意外地使这种分子在分解用于饮料瓶的塑料方面变得更好了。
主句含并列结构("adjusted ... to see" 与 "tests showed"),后半句嵌套过去完成时和比较结构("had made ... even better at breaking down"),还有后置定语("the plastic used for drinks bottles");句子较长,时态层次复杂,主干需仔细辨认。
