2024 考研英语翻译 精彩例句解析句子一:When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted fortyfive miles south of London , they were not taken seriously
当有报道进入伦敦公园,that 是report 的'定语从句,也就是解释 report 的内容,是说有一只野生美洲狮在距离伦敦以南 45 英里的地方被发现了
had been spotted 是个被动语态;后边 they,指代复数名词,前半句只有 reports,这些报道并没有得到严肃对待
句子二:However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate , for the deions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar

given by people 过去分词作定语修饰 deion,由谁给出的这一描述;who引导定语从句修饰 people,声称看见过美洲豹的人
这一描述(跟报道)惊人的一致
句子三:Nowhere do 1980 census statistics dramatize more the American search for spacious living than in the Far West
