托福閱讀長難句理解分析
托福閱讀中大家最煩的就是長難句了，不僅影響理解還浪費(fèi)不少時(shí)間。為了幫助大家，小編整理了一些長難句解析，歡迎閱讀!
島的形成
The onrushing water arising from these flash floods likely also formed the odd teardrop-shaped “islands” (resembling the miniature versions seen in the wetsand of our beaches at low tide) that have been found on the plains close to the ends of the outflow channels.(TPO8, 45)
onrushing adj. 洶涌的，猛沖的
miniature /'mɪnətʃɚ/ adj. 小型的，微型的
outflow n. 流出，外流
參考翻譯：
由這些突如其來的洪水產(chǎn)生的'洶涌流水也可能形成奇怪的淚滴狀“島”(類似于在低潮時(shí)沙灘上濕沙地看到的微型版本)，這些“島”已經(jīng)在接近出流通道末尾處的平原上被發(fā)現(xiàn)。
這個(gè)句子的主要修飾成分就是從句和介詞短語，大家務(wù)必想清楚，每一個(gè)修飾成分修飾的是什么，才能看清楚這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
The onrushing water (arising from these flash floods) likely also formed the odd teardrop-shaped “islands” ((resembling the miniature versions) (seen in the wet sand of our beaches at low tide)) ( that have been found on the plains) ( close to the ends of the outflow channels).(TPO8, 45)

消失的化石
At one time, the animals present in these fossil beds were assigned to various modern animal groups, but most paleontologists now agree that all Tommotian fossils represent unique body forms that arose in the early Cambrian period and disappeared before the end of the period, leaving no descendants in modern animal groups. (52, TPO5)
paleontologist /ˌpeɪlɪɔnˈtɔləd ʒɪst/ n. 古生物學(xué)家
descendant /dɪ'send(ə)nt/ n. 子孫，后代
參考翻譯：
曾經(jīng)，存在于這些化石床中的動(dòng)物被分配到各種現(xiàn)代動(dòng)物群組中，但現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)古生物學(xué)家都同意：所有Tommotian的化石代表了出現(xiàn)在Cambrian時(shí)期早期并在這個(gè)時(shí)期末期前消失獨(dú)特的化石形式，在現(xiàn)代動(dòng)物群組中沒有留下后代。
