Many people are curious about whether the record-breaking low temperatures in the United States at the beginning of this year are related to global warming.
(很多人好奇今年年初在美國破紀錄的低溫是否與全球暖化有關。)
➜ Many people are curious. (很多人感到好奇。)
💡 這一句有兩層。外層是 Many people are curious;whether 帶出來的那一整塊裡面還有一個小句子,它的主詞是 the temperatures、動詞是 are related——中間又隔了 11 個字。長句常常是這樣一層套一層。

Since its operation in 2007, the High Speed Rail has become one of the most convenient and fastest means of transportation in Taiwan.
(自2007年營運以來,高鐵已成為臺灣最便利、最快速的交通工具之一。)
➜ The High Speed Rail has become one of the most convenient and fastest means of transportation. (高鐵已成為最便利、最快速的交通工具之一。)
💡 這一句是提醒:能拿掉的只有句首的時間片語和句尾的 in Taiwan。become 後面那一整塊是補語,拿掉就不成句了——不是所有長的東西都是修飾語。
再看四句,涵蓋修飾語會出現的各種位置。你可以先蓋住每一句下面那一行,自己試著把骨幹找出來。

➜ We should prepare food, stay indoors, and move to a safe place. (我們應準備食物、待在室內、移動到安全的地方。)
💡 一個主詞配三個並列動詞。找到 we 之後,要把三個動詞都找齊,句子才算讀完。

(不要讀太難的文章,也不要遇到生字就立刻查字典。)
➜ Don't read articles and don't look up a new word. (不要讀文章,也不要查生字。)
💡 祈使句沒有寫出主詞,被省略的主詞是 you。which are too difficult for you 修飾 articles,the moment you see it 是時間副詞子句,兩塊都是修飾。
