Question

请问老师这句话应该怎么理解呢?
The cost is in the collateral damage of the very methods of food production that has made the food cheaper.
请问老师,
1,这句话的前半部分[The cost is in the collateral damage of the very methods of food production]怎么理解,这句话的主谓宾怎么划分呢?
2,遇到了很多介词的时候该怎么判断句子成分呢?例如这句话中有in 又有of,该怎么判断一个成分到哪截止呢?
2,that has made the food cheaper,that 指的是什么?是前面这句话吗?

Answer 1

The cost is in the collateral damage of the very methods of food production that has made the food cheaper.
1,这句话的前半部分[The cost 是主语is是系动词 in the collateral damage of the very methods of food production是介词短语作表语 其中of the very methods of food production 是定语修饰the collateral damage其中 of food production是定语修饰the very methods]
2,遇到了很多介词短语的时候 应根据其作用判断句子成分
例如这句话中有in 短语包括 后面的of短语 和定从of短语是分别修饰前面的名词的,定从是修饰in后面整个介词宾语的 而整个in短语是说明主语的
3,that has made the food cheaper, that 指的是 the collateral damage
