第077句:社会压力
Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements-themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modem means of transport.
译文:
新的社会压力可能会由于人口爆炸或大规模人口迁移而出现,而现代交通工具使得这种人口迁移变得比较容易。
点睛:
该句的主干是additional social stresses may occur...。because of引导的是句子的原因状语,其中现在分词短语arising from...作problems的后置定语。破折号后的内容是对mass migration movements的解释说明,其中themselves指代的就是migration movements。modern means of transport意为“现代交通工具”。
