New data from the United States Forest Service ecologists show that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, seven dollars are saved that would have been spent on extinguishing big fires

这句话怎么翻译

Answer 1

句子结构为：

主语：New data from the United States Forest Service ecologists

【来自于美国森林服务生态学家的新数据】

谓语：show【显示】

that 宾语从句：【that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, seven dollars are saved that would have been spent on extinguishing big fires】

宾语从句状语：【for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel 】

宾语从句主语：【seven dollars 】

宾语从句谓语：【are saved】

宾语从句中修饰主语的定语从句【that would have been spent on extinguising big fires】

Answer 2

先把句子错误找了再说啊：

1. data ... show ... 主谓不一致，data是不可数名词，应该是shows
   

2. spent on controled ... 介词on后面应该跟动名词了，是spent on controlling ...

3. seven dollars are saved that ... that后面是定语从句，应该紧跟被修饰的名词，而不应该在动词后面，所以应该是seven dollars that ... are saved

整句话结构挺简单：主干就是A shows that B. 其中A部分作为主语，核心词是new data，后面是定语。B部分作为宾语从句，稍有难点在于前面for引出一长串状语，在这个状语中有三个ing并列，真正的主谓宾是从seven dollars开始的，seven dollars跟了一个定语从句修饰。

翻译我就不说了，你看别人写的就行……
