2018屠屠考研英語長難句 一日一句(116)

116. Even China’s population will be declining by the early 2030s, according to the UN, which projects that by 2050 populations will be lower than they are today in 50 countries.

【結構分析】

1、本句結構清晰，是一個複合句。

2、主句爲Even China’s population will be declining by the early 2030s, according to the UN，其後的定語從句which projects that by 2050 populations will be lower than they are today in 50 countries修飾先行詞UN，關係代詞在從句中作主語，注意這裏project作動詞用，譯爲“指出”，且從句裏使用了比較級。

［詞彙］
project v.［僻義］指出
