1.A Somali man has appeared in court in Denmark charged with trying to murder a Danish artist whose cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed sparked riots and protests among Muslims around the world.

参考翻译：丹麦一名艺术家关于先知穆罕默德的漫画引发了全世界穆斯林的暴动和抗议。被指控试图谋杀这名艺术家的一名索马里男子在丹麦法庭出庭。

结构分析：这句话的主干是：A Somali man has appeared in court。后面所有的都是修饰成分。charged with是过去分词做后置定语，修饰Somali man。whose cartoon of……也是定语从句，修饰a Danish artist。

2.It had been held by Ahlu-Sunnah, a group that follows a Sufi form of Islam which is rejected by Al-Shabab.

参考翻译：该镇原本由Ahlu Sunnah控制，该组织信奉苏菲派(Sufi)伊斯兰教，受到青年党的排斥。

结构分析：a group是Ahlu-Sunnah的同位语。which is rejected是定语从句，修饰a Sufi form of Islam。

3.Pirates have hijacked two more ships off the Somali coast, bringing to four the number of vessels seized this week.

参考翻译：海盗在索马里海岸再次劫持了两艘船只，使本周被劫持的船只总数上升到4。

结构分析：bringing to four the number of其实把顺序颠倒了一下，正常顺序是：bring the number to four。
