例句: Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response: causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. (选自2008年Text 1)
分析: 该句是复合句,主干部分为studies...have shown that...。分词causing...作状语表示伴随,其逻辑主语是sex hormones。
译文: 对人和动物的研究已经表明性激素荷尔蒙以某种方式会影响对压力的反应;结果造 成在同等条件下,妇女处于压力下会比男人产生更多的诱发性的化学物质。
例句: Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. (选自2011年Text 4)
分析: 该句是复合句。that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present是一个定语从句,修饰image of parenthood,介词短语like Us Weekly and People作后置定语,修饰celebrity magazines。
译文: 当然,《我们周刊》、《人物》等名人杂志中呈现出来的父母形象非常不切实际,尤其当母亲是布洛克这样的单亲妈妈时更是如此。
