英语长难句

Question

The health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper ,but all who receive medical treatment.这里面的to its cuase 该怎么理解

Answer 1

回答：句子分析如下：
1. be + 不定式：准备、打算、计划、应该、是、定于……。如：
The meeting is to take place tomorrow.
You are to be punished for your mistake.
Their job is to sweep the campus.
2. make a payment to sb向某人付款。
3. payments to witnesses by news papers相当于payments to witnesses (which are )made by news papers, 意思是：由报社付款给目击证人。类似用法：the book (written) by Lu Xun 鲁迅写的书，the music (played) by the girl这位姑娘演奏的曲子。
4. seeking (试图，设法，力图)to buy up (收买，买进，买下)people是现在分词短语作定语，修饰newspapers。
5. involved in ...(卷入，参与)是过去分词短语作定语，修饰前面的名词people，相当于定语从句who are involved in ...。
本句翻译：该政府将要对那些付款收买涉及大案要案（诸如罗斯玛丽•韦斯特案件）证人的报社。

Answer 2

句子主干是the health research community should recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities…but all…。
because引导原因状语从句。 主句中的谓语recruit有两个并列宾语not only well-known personalities …和 but all who receive medical treatment；
其实这里的to its cause是应该放在宾语后面做状语，因为宾语太长所以提前了。意思是邀请...参与到事业中。

Answer 3

一般来说，包含从句的，或者含有各类非谓语动词的结构的，很长的句子可以叫长难句；但是这个称谓是相对的，如果我英语很好，再长的句子都不算长难句。本回答被网友采纳

Answer 4

recruit to its cause sb=recruit sb. to its cause 把某人招募到它的事业中
to its cause属于状语位置移换
