英语长难句详细解析

Question

Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface，the deep—ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans，in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space．

Answer 1

定语后置in some ways
　　由于完全没有光，而且承受着比在地球表面大数百倍的极大压力，深海底部对人类而言是一个充满敌意的环境，在某些方面就像外层空间一样险恶和遥远。
　　分句1：Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures
　　分句2：hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface
　　分句3：the deep—ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans
　　分句4：in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
　　分句2修饰分句1结尾的短语intense pressures，
　　分句1是分句3的原因状语
　　分句3是整个长句子的主句
　　分句4是分句3的后置定语，修饰分句3的a hostile environment to humans
　　整个句子结构是：
　　原因状语+主句+后置定语
　　这是主句前后分别有状语和定语的修饰成分，但是本句其实不是复合句。句子的核心意思是深海对于人类而言是一个充满敌意的环境。本回答被提问者和网友采纳
