咱们看看下面这句话。The majority of the patients attending the medical out-patients departments of our hospitals feel that they have not received adequate treatment unless they are able to carry home with them some tangible remedy in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar of ointment, and the doctor in charge of the department is only too ready to provide them with these requirements.This is a coordinated sentence. The first clause is ‘The majority of the patients….’ The second clause is ‘the doctor in charge of the department……’‘attending the medical……our hospitals’ is attributive modifying ‘The majority of the patients’ ‘that they have not received …… ointment’ is object clause. ‘unless they are able to carry home with them some tangible remedy in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar of ointment’ is adverbial clause of concession in the object clause. ‘some tangible remedy’ is object in the adverbial clause of concession. ‘in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar of ointment’ is attributive modifying ‘some tangible remedy’.The main structure of the first half of this sentence is: The majority of the patients...... feel that…… The second clause is a SVC structure. It’s subject is ‘the doctor in charge of the department’. ‘is’is lingking verb. ‘only too ready’ is complement. ‘to provide them with these requirements’is adverbial.这是新概念第四册第二十八课的一句话。
上面的黑体字是原文，下面是我自己为这篇课文做的英文注释。这句话是个并列句。第一个分句有三个限定动词短语。分别是feel, have not received 和are able to carry，这就说明他有三个句子。有一个主句带有一个宾语从句。宾语从句中还有一个让步状语从句。第二个分句比较简单，只有一个限定动词，就是简单句，系表结构。
这句话翻译成，在医院门诊部看病的大多数人觉得，如果不能带回一些看得见、摸得着的药物，如一瓶药水，一盒药丸、一小瓶药膏回家的话，就没算得到了充分的治疗。负责门诊的医生也非常乐意为前来看病的人提供他们想要得到的药物。有关限定动词的问题，可以阅读我写的文章，《英文的限定动词和非限定动词》，要研究句子结构，请看我的另两篇文章《英文的七个基本句型》和《英语的句子成分》。
如何快速筛选英语阅读文章的有效信息？
谢谢邀请，分享一点我的经验。关于英语阅读，分为两种。一种是考试需要，比如四六级，这种文章必须要先看题，再去读文章，这点很重要。第二种，是平时自己阅读。我的建议，选择生词量占10%左右的文章去读，生词太多，只会打消阅读的积极性。首先，要有一定的语法基础，这样才能够读懂长句、难句。起码的结构切分是读懂的基础。
