难句解析 1. The report is based on the findings of research that was carried out in Sweden, comparing 1,617 patients found to have brain tumours (cancer) between 1997 and 2003 with the same number of healthy people. (P14) [分析] 1) 句子结构分析:The report is based on the findings of research 是主句;
that ...为定语从句;comparing ... with ...为V-ing短语作状语,表伴随状况。 2) 语言知识分析:The report is based on the findings of research 意为“这个报告以研究发现为基础”。base ... on / upon ... 表示“把……建立在……之上,以……为基础”。
carry out意为“进行、完成”。found to have brain tumours (cancer)为动词过去分词短语作定语,修饰名词patients,意为“被发现有脑瘤的病人”。
2. For this study, it was necessary to look at patients who had been using mobile phones for ten years or more, so the research concentrated on older types of mobile phones. (P14) [分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在此句中,it为形式主语,不定式to look at ...为真正的主语;
who had been using ...为定语从句,修饰前面的patients;so the research ...为结果状语从句。 2) 语言知识分析:it is / was necessary to do sth.意为“做某事是必要的”。
由于主语为一个很长的不定式短语,为了避免头重脚轻,用it作形式主语,将真正的主语置于句子的后面。had been using为过去完成进行时,表示在过去某时间前一直在发生的事情。concentrate on意为“集中于”。
