　Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake. (09.6 Passage 2)

　　主干：Todd Park, a local detective, said...

　　1. said 之后的内容是个省略引导词that的宾语从句。1.whose skeleton...是个定语从句，修饰an...woman。

　　译文：当地的一名侦探Todd Park说，这个方法帮他了解到有关一位身份不明的女性死者的更多信息，其尸骨是在打掩护附近被发现的。

　　Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year. (08.12 Passage 1)

　　主干：Gullotta saw a man...

　　1. who 引导的定语从句修饰a...man。

　　2.本句是肯定陈述句，却用了doing anything而不是doing something,语义上有所强调。

　　译文：两个月以前格洛塔为一位50岁的男士看病，这名男士吸烟可欧已有一年，但期间他没有采取任何措施，以至于延误了治疗。

　The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. (08.6 Passage 2)

　　主干：The crumbs make it easy to reconstruce...

　　you leave everywhere 是定语从句，省略了关系代词that，修饰crumbs; make it easy for...to do...结构中，it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式 to reconstruct...。easy是宾语补语，for引导出不定式的逻辑主语strangers。句末who, where和what引导的三个名词性从句都是reconstruct的宾语。

　　译文：你处处留下的“数字面包碎屑”很容易让陌生人推想出你是谁，你在哪里，你对什么感兴趣。
