Question

一道英语试题难住了我

many settlers had slighter religious commitments than Dane`s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion. 这个状语中主谓宾，定状补是什么，分别修饰谁，看不懂

Answer 1

许多定居者并没有戴恩那样虔诚，就像一位牧师在海边遇到一些人时听到的那样，那些人嘲弄说他们不是为了宗教来到新大陆的。
many settlers 与Dane的宗教信仰比是slighter的，as引导方式状语从句。
along the coast地点状语，主语clergyman，谓语learned，学到了什么呢：they(settlers)不是为了宗教来新大陆的。跟谁学的呢：coast沿岸的folk。
希望你能明白。
