学员疑问:
The liver cells in the donor organ are washed out with a detergent that gently strips away the liver cells, leaving behind a biological scaffold of proteins and extracellular architecture that is very hard to duplicate synthetically. 这个长句有一点费解,请帮我细致分析一下。
老师解答:
先抓主干:The liver cells (in the donor organ) are washed out [with a detergent].(供体器官中的肝细胞被用洗涤剂洗掉。)
in the donor organ:介词短语作后置定语,修饰 The liver cells。
with a detergent:介词短语作方式状语,修饰 are washed out。
第一层修饰:that gently strips away the liver cells 定语从句修饰 detergent ,意思是“这种洗涤剂能温和地剥离肝细胞”
第二层修饰:leaving behind...现在分词短语作结果状语,逻辑主语是前面的整个动作/洗涤剂作用过程:意思是“留下一个由蛋白质和细胞外结构构成的生物支架”
leaving behind 的宾语是:a biological scaffold of proteins and extracellular architecture
中心词:a biological scaffold(生物支架)
of proteins and extracellular architecture介词短语作后置定语,说明支架由什么构成
第三层修饰:that is very hard to duplicate synthetically定语从句,修饰前面的名词。
点评分析:
that is very hard to duplicate synthetically定语从句到底修饰前面的哪个名词?
从语法位置看,that 紧挨着 extracellular architecture,形式上最近先行词是 architecture。
但从语义看,真正“很难人工合成复制”的是整个 biological scaffold(生物支架),而不只是细胞外结构。因此更合理的理解是:这个定语从句修饰 a biological scaffold,说明这个生物支架很难用合成方法复制。
