今日长难句:
Hunting "designed to secure the aggregate welfare of the target species, the integrity of its ecosystem, or both "-what Varner terms " therapeutic hunting" -is defensible, while subsistence and sport hunting-both of which only benefit human beings-is not.
“旨在保证目标物种总福利、其生态系统完整性,或两者兼而有之的”狩猎——瓦尔纳称其为“有疗效的狩猎”——是合乎情理的,而为维持生计而进行的狩猎和运动狩猎——两者都仅仅于人类有益——则是不合乎情理的。
分析:
第一步,简单划分句子
第一部分:Hunting "designed to secure the aggregate welfare of the target species, the integrity of its ecosystem, or both"-what Varner terms " therapeutic hunting"-is defensible
第二部分:while subsistence and sport hunting-both of which only benefit human beings-is not.
第二步,需要根据谓语进行细致划分
这是while引导的两个句子
第一部分
主语:Hunting
后置定语:"designed to secure the aggregate welfare of the target species, the integrity of its ecosystem, or both "
谓语:is
表语:defensible
插入语:what Varner terms " therapeutic hunting"(由what引导的宾语从句)
从句中:
主语:Varner
谓语:terms
宾语:Hunting "designed to secure the aggregate welfare of the target species, the integrity of its ecosystem, or both "
宾补:" therapeutic hunting"
第二部分
主语:subsistence and sport hunting
谓语:is not
表语:(省略)defensible
插入语:both of which only benefit human beings(定语从句)
