Question

请帮我翻译和讲解一下这个英语长难句，谢谢

No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots.

请帮我拆分并翻译这个句子。谢谢啊！
“forseen the ways”是什么意思啊？

Answer 1

No one 是主语。 looking ahead 20 years 为现在分词做定语修饰主语的。后面全部是一个定语从句。
句子主体是no one possibly could have foreseen the ways.
意思是预见那种方式。
从句子来看意思是说提前向前看20年还没有人可能预见一个简单的变革或芯片能够把世界的好的一方面事物在个人电脑，机器人和数字通信实行转变
