Question

这句话怎么翻译呢？能讲一下语法结构吗？

it says tropical storms formerly claimed dozens,if not hundreds of lives,each year,in cuba。

Answer 1

你好！
我觉着应该把句子调整一下更好。
It says that tropical storms formerly claimed dozens of lives, if not hundreds， each year in cuba。它（据报道）说，在古巴以往每年的热带风暴夺走了，如果不是数百，至少几十人的生命。
it 主语
tropical storms formerly claimed dozens of lives, if not hundreds， each year in cuba。宾语从句。
tropical storms 从句主语
claimed 从句谓语
dozens of lives 从句宾语
formerly，each year， in cuba。从句状语
if not hundreds 插入语，宾语补足语。
以上仅供参考！
