历年考研英语经典长难句(21)

英语作为考研中的大多数同学的一个短板，一直是备考的难点，其中英语的语法，即长难句是难点中的难点，那么对于长难句我们该怎样分析呢?接下来我们就以一个例子带着同学们来初步感受一下如何分析一个长难句~

Despite attempts by the Church to sop suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists，more explorations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that people could no longer ignore.

断句：

① Despite attempts by the Church to suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists，

② more explorations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that people could no longer ignore.

各部分结构：

① 让步状语：Despite attempts by the Church to suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists，其中 by the Church和to suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists都是做定语修饰attempts

② 主语(more explorations for how the universe functioned，其中how the universe functioned为for 的宾语，与for共同构成介词短语修饰explorations)+谓语(were being made)+状语( at a rate)+定语从句( that people could no longer ignore修饰rate)

参考译文：尽管(天主)教堂尝试压制因一带的逻辑学家和理性主义者，他们仍不断探索宇宙是如何运行的，其速度之快，人们已经无法忽视。
