　　斷句：

　?、?Despite attempts by the Church to suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists，

　?、?more explorations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that people could no longer ignore.

　　各部分結構：

　　① 讓步狀語：Despite attempts by the Church to suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists，其中 by the Church和to suppress this new generation of logicians and rationalists都是做定語修飾attempts

　　② 主語(more explorations for how the universe functioned，其中how the universe functioned為for 的賓語，與for共同構成介詞短語修飾explorations)+謂語(were being made)+狀語( at a rate)+定語從句( that people could no longer ignore修飾rate)

　　參考譯文：

　　盡管(天主)教堂嘗試壓制因一帶的邏輯學家和理性主義者，他們仍不斷探索宇宙是如何運行的，其速度之快，人們已經無法忽視。
