2)、比较级 + than + the other + 复数名词/ + any other + 单数名词/ + any of the other + 复数名词

2.Demonstrators calling on him to go home gathered in the city of Birmingham in the English midlands where Mr. Zardari made a speech to hundreds of members of his Pakistan People’s Party.
参考翻译:扎尔达里在英国内地城市伯明翰向数百名巴基斯坦人民党成员发表讲话,抗议者在这里聚集,要求他立即回国。
结构分析:这句话的主干是:Demonstrators gathered in the city of Birmingham。calling on him to go home是动词不定式作后置定语,修饰Demonstrators。where Mr. Zardari made a speech是表示时间的定语从句,修饰the English midlands。
3.President Bingu Wa Mutharika argued that the fully risen sun was appropriate since it indicated that Malawi had developed and was not still developing, as it had been when it was a British colony.
参考翻译:总统宾古·瓦·穆塔里卡(Bingu wa Mutharika) 辩称,更换为完全升起的太阳是恰当的,因为这意味着马拉维已经是发达国家,而不是英国殖民地时期的还在发展中。
结构分析:这句话的主语和谓语是:President Bingu Wa Mutharika argued,后面是that引导的宾语从句。宾语从句的主干是:the fully risen sun was appropriate,since引导的从句表示原因。as it had been when it was a British colony引导方式状语从句。
