托福听力长难句分析(十七)

 同学们在学习托福听力的过程中，最头疼的就是句子的理解，尤其是长难句。但是相对于阅读文本 来说，听力的问题其实是比较简答的，我们在理解句子的时候基本只要考划分句子的主干成分，配合一些短语搭配就可以了，但是关键是要求我们的反应速度要非常的快，我们现在就具体以TPO中的句子为例，来分析一下长难句。(TPO3-L1)

And it goes without saying, but, well, the opposite is true as well, plants depend on humming birds too. There are some flowers that can only be pollinated by the humming birds. Without it stopping to feed and spreading pollen from flower to flower, these plants would cease to exist.

这是不言而喻的，但是反过来也是一样，植物也依赖蜂鸟。有一些花只能靠蜂鸟来授粉。如果蜂鸟不停下来觅食或传播花粉，这些植物就无法生存。

But the problem, well, as natural habitat along these migration routes is developed by humans for housing or agriculture or cleared for raising cattle, for instance, there is less food available for migrating humming birds.

但是随着人类对蜂鸟迁徙路线上的自然栖息地进行开发、扩建住房、耕作或是放牧，这样一来蜂鸟在迁徙时能找到的食物就更少了。

Their nesting sites are affected too, the same, by the same sorts of human activities. And all of these activities pose a real threat to the humming bird population.

它们的筑巢区也会受到影响，原因也是人类活动。人类所有的这些活动对蜂鸟种群的繁殖带来了严重的问题。

So to help them survive, we need to preserve their habitats. And one of the concrete ways people have been doing this is by cleaning up polluted habitat areas and then replanting flowers, um, replanting native flowers that humming birds feed on.

为了帮助它们的生存，人类需要保护它们的栖息地。人们一直以来赛区的保护蜂鸟栖息地的措施之一是清理受到污染的区域，并且替换蜂鸟赖以生存的花草。

Promoting ecological tourism is another way to help save their habitat. As the number of visitors, eco-tourists who come to humming bird habitats to watch the birds, the more the number of visitors grows, the more local businesses profit, so ecological tourism can bring financial rewards, all the more reason to value these beautiful little creatures in their habitat, right?

推广生态旅游是另外一种方式。随着游客数量的增加，这些生态旅游者来这里赏鸟，游客的数量越多，当地的旅游景点的收入也就越大。这样看来生态旅游能够带来经济回报，我们就更应该重视这些小巧的蜂鸟了。

But to understand more about how to protect and support humming birds the best we can, we’ve got to learn more about their breeding, nesting sites and migration routes, and also about the natural habitats we find there. That should help us determine how to prevent further decline in the population.

但是想要更好的了解图和才能最好的保护蜂鸟，我们必须熬了解他们的繁殖、筑巢和迁徙路线，也需要了解沿途的自然栖息地。这样能够帮助我们觉得如何防止蜂鸟数量进一步的减少。
