　　托福閱讀長(zhǎng)難句分析：

　　這個(gè)句子的主干部分是：

　　A fertile, plowed field is rapidly invaded whereas a neighboring construction site may remain virtually free of vegetation

　　whereas然而，表示對(duì)比，對(duì)比兩種情況

　　修飾一：(by a large variety of weeds) ，介詞短語(yǔ)

　　中文：被各種各樣的雜草

　　修飾二：(from which the soil has been compacted or removed to expose a coarse, infertile parent material) ，從句，修飾a neighboring construction site

　　這個(gè)句子理解的難點(diǎn)應(yīng)該就在這里了，這個(gè)從句把a(bǔ) neighboringconstruction site和may remain virtually free ofvegetation分開(kāi)了，注意斷句不要出問(wèn)題，這種現(xiàn)象之前我們碰到很多了。

　　中文：這里的土壤被緊壓或移除過(guò)以至于露出母質(zhì)層(不要去理解啥是parent material，學(xué)術(shù)名詞)

　　修飾三：(for many months or even years) ，介詞短語(yǔ)

　　中文：幾個(gè)月偶然甚至是幾年

　　修飾四：(despite receiving the same inputof seeds as the plowed field.) ，介詞短語(yǔ)

　　中文：盡管得到了和這塊翻耕地同樣多的種子

　　托福閱讀長(zhǎng)難句參考翻譯：

　　一塊肥沃且被翻耕過(guò)的土地會(huì)被各種各樣的雜草迅速入侵，然而一個(gè)鄰近的建筑工地(這里的土壤被緊壓或移除過(guò)以至于露出母質(zhì)層)可能幾個(gè)月甚至幾年都幾乎沒(méi)有植被覆蓋，盡管得到了和這塊翻耕地同樣多的種子。

　　這個(gè)句子的主要修飾成分就是從句、介詞短語(yǔ)，大家務(wù)必想清楚，每一個(gè)修飾成分修飾的是什么，才能看清楚這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
