一个英语句子的结构分析---高手进

Charles Darwin was the first to come up with an explanation for how evolution worked with the idea of Natural Selection.
请分析句子结构
重点说明for how evolution worked with the idea of Natural Selection. 是含有从句的介词短语吗？做什么句子成分，怎么翻译？
work with是短语吗？the idea of Natural Selection是什么意思？

Answer 1

work with这里不是短语
这个句子断句是这样的
Charles Darwin /was /the first /to come up with an explanation/ for how evolution worked/ with the idea of Natural Selection.
how evolution worked是一个宾语从句，做for的宾语
with the idea of Natural Selection是介宾短语做状语
the idea of Natural Selection就是自然选择

Answer 2

an explanation for...为/对...做出解释

how引导的是宾语从句，作介词for 的宾语。

Answer 3

for及其后面的部分 构成介宾短语 做explanation的后置定语
for后面的宾语 由how所引导的从句充当
for后面的翻译为“进化论如何遵循物竞天择、优胜劣汰”
