　　长难句解析

　　1. 长句[5]

　　[A]Anne Hidalgo, [B]the mayor of Paris, [C]said in a statement [D]that "the vast majority of nation states are not responding with the same urgency" as cities and regions on climate change.

　　这个句子不难，大家可以先尝试自己分析，再看解析。

　　先拆句子，看到两个逗号，按照前两周我们讲过的方法，这样的成分一搬都是插入语，所以[A]是主语，[B]是插入语(也是同位语)，总之只要牢记插入语对句子意思和语法都没有影响，只是起补充说明的作用即可。

　　[C]就是谓语部分了，in a statement加了下划线，我们可以细分成地点状语，即“在哪里说的”，不用分这么细也完全ok。

　　[D]部分开头一个that，和前面的said连起来，显然就是宾语从句了，是说的具体内容，说“绝大多数民族国家在气候变化问题上没有像城市和地区一样做出同样紧迫的回应”。

　　行文简析

　　Para. 4与会各国的反应。

　　Para. 5环保公主会上所言。

　　Para. 6 Anne Hidalgo对各国应对气候变化所作努力的观点。

　　下次我们讲主谓宾、主系表结构，明天见啦~
