A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent‘s clothes without permission is not. (06.1 Passage 2)
分析主干:A 12-year-old might need to be shown that... but that...
本句是show sb. that...結(jié)構(gòu)的被動語態(tài),that 從句依然充當(dāng)賓語。賓語是but 并列連接的兩個that 引導(dǎo)的從句。兩個從句都用動名詞短語(raiding..., borrowing...)作主語。
作者把孩子心急地打開餅干盒的動作稱為raiding(襲擊)。富有幽默感。
譯文:一個12 歲的孩子可能需要人告訴他,不用得到許可就把餅干盒掃光是可以接受的,但是,沒有得到許可就借走父母的衣服是不能接受的。

In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. (05.6 Passage 1)
分析主干:players have been observed to...
不定式to throw...在句中作主語players 的補(bǔ)語;這是observe sb. do sth.結(jié)構(gòu)的被動語態(tài),作賓語補(bǔ)足語的省to 的不定式在被動語態(tài)中成了主語補(bǔ)足語,要把to 還原。動名詞considering...作介詞without 的賓語,介詞短語without considering...作throw 的狀語。
譯文:在比賽的白熱化階段,人們注意到球員從球場的這頭狂奔到球場那頭,根本就沒有考慮到他這樣的動作會對阻擋他的其他球員產(chǎn)生什么樣的后果。

2.主句中的介詞about 帶有三個并列的賓語從句,分別由who, what 和what 引導(dǎo)。
3.句中的features 在媒體中指“專題介紹、特寫報道”。
