1.He was responding to comments by a judge who said it appeared that MI5 officials had not told the truth when they denied knowledge of the alleged torture of a British resident Binyam Mohamed in American custody.

参考翻译：此前，一名法官表示，MI5否认对英国居民Binyam Mohamed在美国关押期间遭受虐待一事知情，似乎MI5的官员在说谎。布朗就此事作出回应。

结构分析：这句话的主干是：He was responding to comments by a judge。后面是who引导的定语从句，修饰a judge。who said后面是宾语从句，说的内容。it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面that引导的句子。when they denied knowledge是时间状语。

2.The message from Tayyip Erdogan could hardly have been clearer.

参考翻译：塔伊普·埃尔多安(Recep Tayyip Erdogan)传达的信息再清楚不过。

结构分析：hardly表达的是否定的意思。hardly have been clearer意思是再清楚不过了，相当于用比较级表示最高级的意思。

3.The French news agency said the violence started when a young Christian woman was found murdered, triggering a string of reprisal attacks on both sides.

参考翻译：法国新闻机构表示，一名基督徒女子被谋杀之后开始了暴力行为，引发了双方一系列报复性袭击。

结构分析：这句话的主语和谓语是The French news agency said，后面所有的部分都是宾语从句。when a young Christian woman was found murdered是宾语从句中的时间状语。triggering是现在分词短语作状语。
