分析下列长难句并翻译成汉语 1．In a study of British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. (2010·重庆·阅读理解E) 分析：这是一个复合句。主句是it was found，it是形式主语，代替that引导的主语从句，句首是由in引导的介词短语作状语。主语从句中的介词短语by age eight作后置定语，修饰children；from television shows and video games这一介词短语也作定语，修饰characters，than with common wildlife是比较状语从句，从句中省略了they were familiar。 译文：一项针对英国小学生的研究发现，8岁前的儿童对电视节目和电脑游戏中的人物的熟悉程度远胜于他们对普通野生动植物的熟悉程度。 2．When we lack meaningful interaction(交互)with the world around us，and sometimes even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.
