在綠色手術(shù)巾和一堆亂糟糟的導(dǎo)管之下,一只健康的小母羊正在接受心肺旁路術(shù)。麻醉是現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)的基礎(chǔ),這次手術(shù)旨在幫助解答關(guān)于麻醉的一個緊迫問題。
這句話可以把逗號當(dāng)作分界點,分成兩個部分。第一個部分是 beneath 引導(dǎo)的介詞短語,Beneath green surgical sheets and a tangle of tubes,在綠色手術(shù)巾和一堆亂糟糟的導(dǎo)管之下。再來看第二部分,它的核心結(jié)構(gòu)是 a healthy young ewe is undergoing a heart-lung bypass procedure,一只健康的小母羊正在接受心肺旁路術(shù)。后面是一個動詞不定式做定語的用法:to help answer one of several urgent questions 解答許多緊迫問題的其中之一。接著,一個介詞短語對問題進行了解釋:about a pillar of modern medicine: anesthesia 關(guān)于麻醉的問題,這里作者給了麻醉一個定義:a pillar of modern medicine,現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)的基礎(chǔ),麻醉是現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)的基礎(chǔ),這次手術(shù)旨在幫助解答關(guān)于麻醉的一個緊迫問題。 Almost two centuries after anesthetics revolutionized surgery, a growing body of research is pointing to disturbing side effects that range from delirium to cancer-proliferating immune suppression.
大約在麻醉劑革新了外科手術(shù)的兩個世紀后,越來越多的研究指出它存在令人憂心的副作用,其后果輕致譫妄,重致使癌細胞增殖的免疫抑制。
以逗號為分界點,句子可以分成兩個部分。第一個部分包含了一個 after 引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句:anesthetics revolutionized surgery,麻醉劑革新了外科手術(shù),Almost two centuries after that,在這件事發(fā)生的大約兩個世紀后。再來看第二個部分,核心結(jié)構(gòu)是 a growing body of research is pointing to disturbing side effects,越來越多的研究指出它存在令人憂心的副作用。后面是一個從句,介紹了副作用波及的范圍:that range from delirium to cancer-proliferating immune suppression,range from ... to... 表示“波及的范圍從......到......”,麻醉的副作用輕致譫妄,嚴重時可能導(dǎo)致使癌細胞增殖的免疫抑制。 A paper published last month showed that volatile-gas anesthesia was associated with higher activity in a key nerve that corresponded with a potentially damaging reduction in blood flow to the kidneys of sheep during abdominal surgery.
一篇發(fā)表于上個月的論文顯示,在綿羊接受腹部手術(shù)期間,氣體吸入式麻醉可能使一種關(guān)鍵神經(jīng)的活躍度更高,這又可能導(dǎo)致流向羊腎的血流減少,而血流減少是有潛在危害的。
這句話的主句是A paper published last month showed that。that 引導(dǎo)了一個賓語從句,從句的主干是 volatile-gas anesthesia was associated with higher activity in a key nerve,從句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu),A is associated with B,主語(也就是 A )為 volatile-gas anesthesia。higher activity in a key nerve 后面是一個定語從句,它的主要部分是 that corresponded with a potentially damaging reduction in blood flow,定語從句的最后用是兩個介詞短語,to the kidneys of sheep,和 during abdominal surgery。
