達文西機器人手術、基因改造作物、複製狗 三句學術型超複雜文法結構長難句分解示範

例句一(達文西機器人手術)

原句

The da Vinci Surgical System, which Intuitive Surgical introduced in 2000 and which lets a surgeon, seated at a console and watching a magnified three-dimensional view, steer instruments through incisions only a few millimeters wide, has been used in millions of procedures, most often prostate removal and hysterectomy, a record that proponents, who point to smaller scars, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays, cite as evidence of progress, although critics, noting that the machine costs over a million dollars and that trials have often found outcomes similar to conventional laparoscopy, question whether the added expense is justified for most patients.

The da Vinci Surgical System,

 which Intuitive Surgical introduced in 2000

 and which lets a surgeon,

  seated at a console and watching a magnified three-dimensional view,

  cite as evidence of progress,

  although critics,

   noting that the machine costs over a million dollars

   and that trials have often found outcomes similar to conventional laparoscopy,

主句

The da Vinci Surgical System has been used in millions of procedures.(主詞後先接兩個並列的 which 子句,第二個內含過去分詞片語與現在分詞片語,動詞 has been used 要讀很久才出現)

例句二(基因改造作物)

原句

Genetically modified crops, which scientists create by inserting a gene from another organism into a plant's genome and which farmers have planted widely since the mid-1990s, notably soybeans, maize, cotton, and canola engineered to tolerate herbicides or resist insect pests, have been judged as safe to eat as conventional crops by major scientific bodies, a conclusion that many consumers, who worry about long-term effects and corporate control of seeds, nevertheless doubt, a doubt that regulators, noting that rules differ sharply between the United States and the European Union, address in part through labeling requirements and approval procedures that vary from country to country.

例句三(複製狗)

原句

Dog cloning, which succeeded for the first time in 2005 when a Seoul National University team transferred the nucleus of an adult skin cell into an egg whose own nucleus had been removed and implanted the embryo in a surrogate mother, has since become a commercial service, offered at tens of thousands of dollars to owners who wish to preserve a beloved pet's genes, a practice that animal welfare advocates, noting that many surrogate dogs are needed and that cloned puppies may differ in temperament from the original, criticize, while scientists, who point out that a clone shares only its genes and not its experiences, remind buyers that no copy can restore a lost companion.

  when a Seoul National University team

   transferred the nucleus of an adult skin cell

    into an egg

三句的共同提醒

例句一的主詞 The da Vinci Surgical System 後面先接兩個以 and 並列的 which 子句,第二個的 lets 與 steer 之間插了 seated 與 watching 兩個並列分詞片語,動詞 has been used 要讀很久才出現。句尾 a record 是前面整句的同位語,其 that 子句中,proponents 與 cite 之間插了 who 子句,之後以 although 子句收束,critics 與 question 之間插了 noting 片語,內含兩個以 and 並列的 that 子句。

例句二的主詞 Genetically modified crops 後面先接兩個以 and 並列的 which 子句,第一個以 by 加動名詞展開,第二個後接 notably 列舉與 engineered 過去分詞片語,動詞 have been judged 要讀很久才出現。a conclusion 與 a doubt 是兩層同位語,前者的 that 子句中,consumers 與 doubt 之間插了 who 子句,後者的 that 子句中,regulators 與 address 之間插了 noting 片語,句尾再接 that 關係子句。

例句三的主詞 Dog cloning 後面先接 which 子句,內含 when 子句,transferred 與 implanted 兩個動詞並列,中間又嵌了 whose 子句,動詞 has become 要讀很久才出現。a practice 是同位語,其 that 子句中,advocates 與 criticize 之間插了 noting 片語,內含兩個以 and 並列的 that 子句,之後以 while 子句收束,scientists 與 remind 之間插了 who 子句,句尾再接 that 子句。

另外,這三句涉及醫療與生命倫理議題,我採描述性寫法並呈現正反意見,不構成醫療建議,也不代表我的立場。若要用於正式教材,建議再核對下列細節:

達文西系統約在 2000 年獲美國 FDA 核准用於一般腹腔鏡手術;「試驗常發現結果與傳統腹腔鏡相近」是概括說法,各術式的證據不同,有些術式研究顯示機器人手術有部分優勢。價格依機型而異,常見說法是百萬美元以上。

基因改造作物的商業化種植約始於 1996 年;「與傳統作物一樣安全」的說法常見於美國國家科學院 2016 年報告等,並非所有機構、所有作物都有相同結論;標示與核准規定各國差異大。

首隻複製狗 Snuppy(阿富汗獵犬)於 2005 年由首爾大學團隊發表,我刻意不列主持人姓名,因為該團隊主持人後來因人類幹細胞造假事件離職,但 Snuppy 本身經後續查證確為複製體;商業複製的收費約數萬美元起,依公司與年份而異。
