典句賞析

1.This is especially true for teenage boys， who can gain a lot by joining a football team and playing the football game.這對(duì)于十幾歲的男孩來(lái)說(shuō)特別如此，他們能通過(guò)加入足球團(tuán)隊(duì)進(jìn)行比賽而受益匪淺。

這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。who是關(guān)系代詞，所引導(dǎo)的是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，對(duì)先行詞teenage boys起補(bǔ)充、說(shuō)明作用。by doing sth.是固定搭配，意為“通過(guò)做某事”，在句中作方式狀語(yǔ)。

2.Among those reasons are the fitness that is needed， the teamwork that goes into the sport， and the opportunity to let out your feelings in a positive manner. 其中的原因有（運(yùn)動(dòng)）所需要的健康，運(yùn)動(dòng)中的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，以及積極地釋放情感的機(jī)會(huì)。

這是一個(gè)完全倒裝句。此句主語(yǔ)較長(zhǎng)，故將謂語(yǔ)部分放在主語(yǔ)之前起到強(qiáng)調(diào)并保持句子平衡的作用。

3.This is why football is such a great sport for teenage boys and it is what makes football different from many other sports.這就是足球?qū)κ畮讱q的男孩來(lái)說(shuō)是一項(xiàng)偉大運(yùn)動(dòng)的原因，這也是它區(qū)別于其他許多運(yùn)動(dòng)所在。

這是一個(gè)多重復(fù)合句。and是并列連詞，連接兩個(gè)復(fù)合句;and之前是由why引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句，表示結(jié)果;and之后是由連接代詞what引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句。
