Ⅱ.語(yǔ)句分析

1.To raise funds for conservation,the company is also now offering unique virtual experiences such as a private chat room where viewers can talk to guides who will answer questions,share experiences from recent drives or interpret what is happening at the reserves.為了籌集保護(hù)資金，該公司現(xiàn)在還提供獨(dú)特的虛擬體驗(yàn)，如私人聊天室，在里面觀眾可以與導(dǎo)游交談，導(dǎo)游將回答問(wèn)題，分享最近駕車(chē)的經(jīng)歷，或解釋在保護(hù)區(qū)發(fā)生的事情。

【點(diǎn)石成金】the company is also now offering...room是主句，To raise funds for conservation是動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)作目的狀語(yǔ)，where viewers can talk to guides是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾a private chat room，what is happening at the reserves是賓語(yǔ)從句。

2.Another way to watch Africa's big five animals from home is by going toexplore.org,which features live streams from South Africa and other areas across the globe.在家觀看非洲五大動(dòng)物的另一種方式是登錄explore.org，該網(wǎng)站以來(lái)自南非和全球其他地區(qū)的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)直播為特色。

【點(diǎn)石成金】Another way...explore.org是主句，to watch...animals是動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)，which引導(dǎo)的是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。
