【長(zhǎng)難句分析】Frank Hurley,a cnfident and gifted Australian phtgrapher wh knew the Antarctic,whired t make the images mst f which have never befre been published.句式分析:本句為主從復(fù)合句。Frank Hurley was hired t make the images為本句的主干部分。a cnfident and gifted Australian phtgrapher wh knew the Antarctic WE Frank Hurley 的同位語(yǔ),其中 wh knew the Antarctic 為定語(yǔ)從句,修飾先行詞 phtgrapher;mst f which have never befre been published為定語(yǔ)從句,修飾先行詞 the images。
句意:弗蘭克·赫爾利是一位自信、有天賦且了解南極的澳大利亞攝影師。他受雇去拍攝照片,而此次拍攝的大部分照片以前從來(lái)沒(méi)有公開(kāi)過(guò)。
