　　Perhapsthe fact many of these first studies considered only algae of a size that couldbe collected in a net, a practice that overlooked the smaller phytoplanktonthat we now know grazers are most likely to feed on, led to a de-emphasis ofthe role of grazers in subsequent research.

　　这个句子谓语动词的识别稍有难度。

　　1. the fact 后描述的部分是这个fact的具体内容，所以the fact后为同位语从句;

　　2. a practice ...to feed on 作同位语。only algae of a size后出现的that could be collected ina net 对前者解释说明作用，为典型的后者定语从句;

　　3. 类似的that overlooked the smallerphytoplankton that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on 修饰说明a practice, 即为后者的后者定语从句。其中 that we now know grazersare most likely to feed on 为the smaller phytoplankton 的后者定语从句。仔细分析，we now know 类似插入语，如果在之前加as则更像比较状语从句。当然这个定语从句也可以写成 on which we now knowgrazers are most likely to feed;

　　4. led to 为整句谓语动词，于是 a de-emphasis 为整句宾语。

　　整句主干很简单，即Perhaps the fact let to a de-emphasis.但主语后跟了自带一个小级别定语从句的后置定语从句，接着又跟了个自带一个后置定语从句(同样嵌套了自己的定语从句)的同位语，读句子过程中，我们的思路容易被这些非主干成分打断。

　　Pat Mitchell: That day, January 8, 2011, began like all others. You were both doing the work that you love. You were meeting with constituents, which is something that you loved doing as a congresswoman, and Mark, you were happily preparing for your next space shuttle.

MK: And on that Saturday morning, I got this horrible phone call from Gabby's chief of staff. She didn't have much other information. She just said, "Gabby was shot." A few minutes later, I called her back and I actually thought for a second, well, maybe I just imagined getting this phone call. I called her back, and that's when she told me that Gabby had been shot in the head. And from that point on, I knew that our lives were going to be a lot different.

　　At the same time, operators of the first printing presses run by steam rather than by hand found it possible to produce a thousand pages in an hour rather thanthirty.

　　我是分界线，大家先自己分析哦。

　　At the same time, operators of the first printing presses (run by steam) rather than (by hand) found it possible (to produce a thousand pages in an hour rather than thirty.)

　　分析：

　　修饰一：(run by steam) ，非谓语动词，修饰printing presses，大家注意这里的run不是谓语动词，而是后面的found，这里易混

　　中文：通过蒸汽运行

　　修饰二：(by hand)，介词短语，修饰printing presses，注意rather than，超级高频短语，之前也碰到过了，它是一个介词，“而不是”

　　中文：而不是通过手

　　修饰三：(to produce a thousand pages in anhour rather than thirty.) ，非谓语，it指代这里的内容

　　中文：生产一千张纸在一个小时内而不需要三十小时。

　　主干：operators found it possible

　　参考翻译：

　　同时，第一批通过蒸汽运行而不是通过手动的蒸汽印刷厂的操作者们发现在一个小时内生产一千张纸是有肯能的，而不需要三十小时。

　　这个句子的主要修饰成分就是介词和非谓语动词，大家务必想清楚，每一个修饰成分修饰的是什么，才能看清楚这个句子的结构。

　　其实状语从句不是特别会影响大家对于句子的理解。
