121.It could be that the high一unctioning mothers En the study had already had a strong influence on (heir children's speech development, Ms.Pancsofar said，"or it may be that mothers are contributing in a way we didn’t measure in the study."

英語四級譯文:
這項研究中那些高效的媽媽們在孩子語言發展中可能已經產生了很大的影響，潘克索法爾女士說，“也可能是母親起作用的方式在這次研究中并未測量到?！?br />
四級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是Ms. Pancsofar said。之前的內容是間接引語，為said的賓語，其中that引導的是表語從句;引號之中為直接引語，也是said的賓語，其中that引導的也是表語從句，該表語從句中we didn't measure in the study是way的定語從句。

have an influence on的意思是“對……產生影響”。如:

This novel had a major influence on the youth.
這部小說對年輕人產生了重要影響。

measure在句中作動詞，意為“衡量，測量”，此外它還有“仔細考慮，較量”之意。
如:As a writer, she always measures her words.
作為作家，她總是用詞考究。

英語四級考點歸納:
引導表語從句的關聯詞有以下幾種情況:
※ 從屬連詞that，即主語+系動詞+that從句。如:
The truth is that I have bought the house with all of my savings.
事實是，我已經用所有的積蓄買下了這所房子。
It seems that we have known each other for decades.
我們看起來好像認識了幾十年似的。

※ 從屬連詞whether, as, as if，即主語+系動詞+whether/as/ as if以句。如:
You looked just as you had looked in high school.
你看起來還和中學時一樣。
The point is whether they will accept our offer.
關鍵是他們是否會接受我們的報價。

※ 連接代詞who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever和whichever，以及連接副詞where, when, how和why。如:
The question is when and where we will meet.
問題是我們何時何地見面。
That was what he told me.
