有英语好的人吗，可以帮我分析一个长句子吗？There were too many variables at play to determine which had the strongest influence on cognitive control -was it the companionship,or was it the music played in the restaurant and the meal served by wait staff,orwas it the longer time to enjoy the meal?

Answer 1

There were 是谓语too many variables 是主语at play 是定语。后面是动词不定式短语作否定的目的状语，其中to determine是动词不定式 which had the strongest influence on cognitive control 是不定式的宾语。后面是几个并列的一般疑问句-was it the companionship,or was it the music played in the restaurant and the meal served by wait staff,orwas it the longer time to enjoy the meal?
本句意思：就餐过程中有太多的变量使我们很难判断究竟哪个因素对认知力的控制产生了最大的影响——是因为有人陪伴，有其他人在场的就餐环境？还是因为餐馆播放的音乐和服务员提供的食物？又或者是太长的就餐时间？
