例:Furthermore, in the early days of long line fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now. [2006, text3]
分析:
A.分析句子結構。Furthermore, in the early days of long line fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks //after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem, //because there are fewer sharks around now.
第一個句子的主句為a lot of fish were lost to sharks,介詞短語in the early days of long line fishing作狀語,after引導時間狀語從句。第二個句子主句是That is no longer a problem, that為代詞,because引導原因狀語從句。
B.分析that指代。that指代第一句話,“a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked”,其中after引導時間狀語從句。
