1. Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn't generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it's still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning. (1994. 閱讀. Text 4)

【譯文】盡管四月份沒有帶來我們期盼已久的雨水，盡管中央山谷下雨時很少伴有雷聲和閃電，但對于父母來說，能夠回答孩子們關(guān)于打雷和閃電的問題仍然十分重要。

【析句】多重復(fù)合句，主句it's still important for parents to be able to……, it作形式主語，真正的主語是后面的不定式，再看從句，and連接兩個although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，第二個讓步狀語從句中又包含從句，that can accompany those rains作定語從句修飾the atmospheric sound and ligntning.

2. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? (1994. 閱讀. Text 4)

【譯文】例如，你是否知道我們看到閃電從天上落到地面，實際過程卻是從地面閃進云里。

【析句】整句話只有一個長句，但包含了幾個從句。主句為did you know that……, that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，賓語從句的主句為the lighting is flashing up……,其中又包含從句we see flashing down……cloud作定語從句修飾the lightning。

3. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark. (1994. 閱讀. Text 4)

【譯文】當孩子們明白閃電發(fā)出的光幾乎同時到達他們的眼睛，而雷聲約五秒鐘才傳播一英里，那他們就可以開始給閃電和雷聲之間的間隔計時，以了解自己離實際火花的遠近。

【析句】多重復(fù)合句，主句they can begin to time the interval……to learn how close they were……, 主句中包含從句，how close they were作learn的賓語從句，注意time此處作動詞，意為“給……計時”。when children understand that為時間狀語從句，that引導(dǎo)understand的賓語從句，賓語從句中，主句為the light of the lightning reaches their eyes, but the sound of the thunder takes about ……, but連接構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的同級簡單句。
