我们在考研备考英语的时候，都会看到一些的长难句而犯难。其实，对于这些句子，我们还是有学习的方法的，我们只要掌握了一些所谓的拆分方法，我们就能很好的把这些句子变成一些简单的句子，这样，我们回过头来再看这些句子，就会发现这些句子变得很简单了，而且很快就能把这些句子掌握了。下面就是拆分的方法，我们大家一定要学会。

考研英语长难句拆分信号：

1、标点符号：比如，2个逗号形成插入语，破折号表示解释说明，分号相当于“and”表示并列;

2、连词：并列句的并列连词and、or、but、yet、for等，从句的从属连词which、that、when、how、if等;

3、介词：介词引导介词短语，介词短语在句子中可充当定语、状语等修饰成分;

4、不定式符号to：不定式符号to引导不定式短语，在句子中除了可以充当主语、宾语、表语、补语等主干成分外，还可做定语、状语等修饰成分;

5、分词：分词包括现在分词和过去分词，在句子中可充当定语和状语修饰成分。

下面我们就按照长难句拆分原则，依照这些拆分信号，结合考研英语阅读或翻译真题中的长难句进行实战演练一下吧!

(1)句子拆分

拆分点：从属连词、介词、标点符号

This trend began ∥during the Second World War, ∥ when several governments came to the conclusion ∥that the specific demands ∥that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen ∥in detail.

(2)句子结构

找谓语动词(began, came, wants, cannot be foreseen);

找连词(when, that, that)

前面没有从属连词的动词即为主句的谓语动词

确定主从句

主句：This trend began during the Second World War ;

从句：定语从句when several governments came to the conclusion修饰the Second World War，本从句嵌套着一个二级从句即同位语从句that the specific demands cannot generally be foreseen in detail修饰conclusion和一个三级从句that引导的定语从句that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment修饰demands。

(3)解析

during the Second World War介词短语做状语;when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail 做定语修饰the Second World War ;that the specific demands cannot generally be foreseen in detail同位语从句修饰conclusion ;that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment修饰demands。
