In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce a draft bill that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and will strictly control the amount of publicity that can be given to a case before a trial begins.
分析:
第一,句子的結構分析:
(1)主干結構是主語(Lord Irvine含同位語the Lord Chancellor)+將來時謂語(will introduce)+賓語(a draft bill);
(2)that引導的定語從句修飾draft bill,其中,will propose 是第一個謂語,making payments to witnesses illegal是一個動名詞短語做賓語,在動名詞短語內部,payments to witnesses做making的賓語,illegal是賓補;第二個謂語是will strictly control, the amount of publicity是它的賓語。that can be given to a case before a trial begins是孕含有一個時間狀語從句(before a trial begins)的定語從句,修飾publicity。
第二,劃出定語從句和狀語從句: that will propose making payments to witnesses illegal and will strictly control the amount of publicity /that can be given to a case /before a trial begins.
第三,劃出介詞短語:In a significant tightening of legal controls over the press.
