復(fù)雜的狀語(yǔ)從句的拆分和理解 例130

例130　If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006's World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months.

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】這是個(gè)虛擬條件句，前半句是條件句If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006's World Cup tournament，后面是主干you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk，冒號(hào)后面表示補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明，而且是個(gè)more than引導(dǎo)的比較級(jí)，也就是elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months。

【亮點(diǎn)回放】此句話的亮點(diǎn)在于虛擬條件句里面套上比較級(jí)，這個(gè)比較級(jí)很精彩，很值得學(xué)習(xí)。
