Question

请教一句英语的语法结构

What percent of the increase in the total number of readers of magazine was the increase in the number of readers in the 31-40 age group?

Answer 1

赞同二楼的翻译,分析：整个句子为特殊疑问句，what percent of the increase in the total numbers of magazine为疑问词，关键词是“what percent”，“of”译为“的”就行，译为“在杂志所有的读者增加的数量中有多少比重”，was自然是谓语，后接表语“the increase in the number of readers in the 31-40 age group”,译为“31-40年龄阶层读者的增长数量”，所以整个句子即为“增加的读者中，31-40年龄阶层增长的比重占多少。”（希望帮到你！）

Answer 2

What percent of the increase in the total number of readers of magazine was the increase in the number of readers in the 31-40 age group?

分析不出来。 太拗口了。
要表达的是：增加的读者人数当中，31-40年龄段占的百分比是多少。
