託福閱讀中大家最煩的就是長難句了，不僅影響理解還浪費不少時間。為了幫助大家，小編整理了一些長難句解析，歡迎閱讀!
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. 洶湧的，猛衝的
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生的洶湧流水也可能形成奇怪的淚滴狀“島”(類似於在低潮時沙灘上溼沙地看到的微型版本)，這些“島”已經在接近出流通道末尾處的平原上被發現。
這個句子的主要修飾成分就是從句和介詞短語，大家務必想清楚，每一個修飾成分修飾的是什麼，才能看清楚這個句子的.結構。
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. 古生物學家
descendant /dɪ'send(ə)nt/ n. 子孫，後代
參考翻譯：
曾經，存在於這些化石床中的動物被分配到各種現代動物群組中，但現在大多數古生物學家都同意：所有Tommotian的化石代表了出現在Cambrian時期早期並在這個時期末期前消失獨特的化石形式，在現代動物群組中沒有留下後代。
這個句子的主要修飾成分就是從句、非謂語動詞，大家務必想清楚，每一個修飾成分修飾的是什麼，才能看清楚這個句子的結構。
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.)
分析：
修飾一：(present in these fossil beds)，形容詞短語，修飾animals，注意是放在後面哦
中文：存在於這些化石床中
修飾二：(that arose in the early Cambrian period and disappeared before the end of the period)，從句，修飾body forms
中文：出現在Cambrian時期早期，並在這個時期末期前消失
修飾三：(leaving no descendants in modern animal groups.)，非謂語動詞修飾前面的主幹
中文：在現代動物群組中沒有留下後代
