英语长句翻译和断句
Some year ago most scientists were surprised that birds such as pigeons that possessed the power to find their way home over long distances were guided by nothing more unusual than an ability to recall the very noticeable characteristics of the land over which they flew .
好句子!（翻译的不好莫见怪啊,呵呵!） 翻译：几年前,科学家曾对例如鸽子这样的鸟类所作出的事情迷惑不解（惊讶）.它们具有这样的能力--长途跋涉之后还能够找到回家的路.它们靠的不是别的特殊的能力,而是靠回忆它们曾经飞过的路来找回家的路! 断句：Some year ago most scientists were surprised （主句,surprised 后面省略了一个at）后面的是从句,表示原因的从句（第一层从句）；that birds such as pigeons （第二层从句的主语,定语从句）；that possessed the power to find their way home over long distances（修饰第一层从句中的先行词pigeons的）；were guided by nothing more unusual than an ability to recall the very noticeable characteristics of the land （第二层从句的系表结构,做谓语的.因为系表统结构称为谓语!）；over which they flew （第三层从句,定语从句,修饰先行词the land ）. 很好的句子,很锻炼人的思维!不知道我的解释清楚不?欢迎加我QQ：649631441 呵呵
