1. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave - and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.
【譯文】她回憶起看著輪船被火光照亮，慢慢沉入漆黑的墓穴，最後永遠消失。這場悲劇半個世紀以來極少被提起。
【析句】英語句子中存在多個動詞時，常大量使用分詞，保證句子中只有一個謂語動詞。本句中主句是She recalls watching the ship,recall是謂語動詞，後面的.一系列分詞lit,slipping, mentioned的主語都是the ship，通過動作與the ship的主動被動關係決定使用的是現在分詞還是過去分詞。在現在分詞slipping後跟有兩個並列的into短語。
2. Now Germanys Nobel Prize-winning author Gunter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children - with his latest novel Crab Walk, published last month.
【譯文】如今，德國諾貝爾獎作家岡特格拉斯用上個月最新出版的《蟹行》一書重新將這份慘烈的記憶9000人死亡，其中有4000是兒童在人們心中喚起。
【析句】複合句。主句Ginter Grass has revived the memory of the 9000 dead是主句，Germanys Nobel Prize-winning author作主語的同位語。including more than 4,000 children是現在分詞作定語。最後，破折號後，with his latest novel published last month作伴隨狀語。
