【语法分析】

 

这句话是一个主谓宾句型，主干结构是"the scientists describe how the storks from Germany were clearly affected by the presence of waste sites"，宾语是宾语从句。前面的"Writing in the journal"是非谓语动词作状语，"with..."这一串也算是状语。

 

【译文】

 

在日记中，科学家描述了德国鹳是如何受到垃圾站的明显影响的，因在摩洛哥北部的垃圾堆过冬而不是迁移到萨赫勒，六分之四的鸟儿存活了至少五个月。

 

【考情分析】

 

注意宾语从句的语序要变成陈述语序，宾语从句的主语是"the storks"，"from Germany"是主语的定语。谓语部分是"were affected"，语态是被动态，"by...sites"是方式状语。"with..."这一串表达一种通过"with..."这一部分的内容说明是如何来"describe"的。"birds"后面是"that"引导的定语从句，在定语从句里面的"overwintering... instead of..."算是一个状语结构，同样是说明如何"survived for"的。
