12、teller难句解析1.He reported that they looked like the tracks of a similar creature,called Bigfoot,which some people believe lives in the forest of the north-west of the USA.(P18,lines 14-16)本句为主从复合句。句中的reported后接一个由that 引导的宾语从句；a similar creature后面的called Bigfoot是后置定语，其后的which引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词creature。2.La
13、rge tracks have also been discovered which some people say belong to the Wild Man.(P18,lines 21-22)人们也发现过一些巨大脚印，有人称它们属于野人。本句是主从复合句。句中的which引导一个定语从句，修饰句子的主语tracks；在这个定语从句中，say后面接一个省略了that的宾语从句。如果将原句拆成两句，则应为：Large tracks have also been discovered.Some people say(that)these large tracks belong to the W
14、ild Man.3.He believed that these creatures are linked to a common ancestor,an animal that lived in Asia some 300,000 years ago.(P18,lines 26-28)他认为，这些生物与一个共同的祖先相关联，该动物生活于约30万年前的亚洲。句中believed 后接一个由that 引导的宾语从句，an animal that 是 a common ancestor的同位语。句中some 300,000 years ago的意思是“大约30万年以前”；some与数词连用时，常用作副词，相当于approximately。
