【长难句】

 

We found that when we taught participants to ask "What if?" and "How can?" questions that nobody present would know the answer to and that would spark exploration, they engaged in better inquiry at the next exhibit--asking more questions, performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results.

【单词解析】

单词	音标	中文词意
participant	[pɑː'tɪsɪp(ə)nt]	n. 参与者；关系者
exploration	[ˌekspləˈreɪʃn]	n.勘探;勘查;探索;探究;研究;探测

 

【语法分析】

 

这句话是个主谓宾句型，主语是"We"，谓语是"found"，后面从"that"至结尾都是宾语从句。宾语从句是个复合句，包括时间状语从句"when...exploration"和后面的主句"they...results"

 

【译文】

 

我们发现,当我们教参与者使用“如果?”和“如何?”来问这些现场没有人知道答案但又会激发探索的问题时,他们在下次展览时会更好地进行探究——提出更多的问题,进行更多的实验并对其研究结果作出更好的解释。

 

【考情分析】

 

在宾语从句的时间状语从句里，questions后面的"that"引导的是定语从句，而且前后有两个定语从句通过"and"连接，注意第一个定语从句也可以这么写"questions to which nobody present would know the answer"。前面的"What if"和"How can"你可以把它当成一个形容词类似的东西，因为它就是在举例子或者打比方，等同于“XXX的问题”。主句中"asking more questions, performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results"就是在解释前文提到过的“更好的进行探究”的一些具体方面。
